First-Time Yacht Owners

Buying your first yacht? Have a captain in your corner.

Yacht survey is an unregulated business, systems can be confusing, and the first season brings a lot of decisions. Get honest, experienced advice from someone who has run yachts for some of South Florida’s most seasoned yachting families — before you sign, and after you take the keys.

  • Lower insurance premiums — a licensed captain on your program can help, and you aren’t required to go north for hurricane season.
  • No full-time crew needed — we can be your shore-based crew for maintenance, relief and concierge needs.
  • Ongoing support — a call away when something isn’t working right. Chances are we’ve seen it before.
