Your plans come first.
Your time aboard should start with a prepared boat, a clear plan and the details already discussed.

Your Yacht,
Expertly Managed.
Your Time,
Yours Again.
More time on the water. Less time managing the details.
You bought a yacht to enjoy it. I help keep it ready, coordinate the work it needs and captain your time aboard — with personal attention and clear updates from Miami to West Palm Beach.

Less to manage. More to enjoy.
Owning a yacht shouldn’t
take over your free time.
Chasing service appointments. Checking whether work was completed. Arriving to find the boat still needs attention. I bring those details together so you can spend less time organizing your boat and more time using it.
One person to follow up.
Maintenance needs, service appointments and open items stay organized, with a clear point of contact.
Know where things stand.
Receive useful updates about your boat, what has been done and what still needs your attention.

Included in all my services, at no additional cost.
From weekly vessel care to full-time captain service, the system is configured around your yacht and your preferences.

Before we talk
A few useful
answers.
Start with what you need. We’ll work through the details together.
Can you take care of my boat while I’m away?
We can discuss regular visits, vessel readiness, routine care, maintenance follow-up and vendor coordination. The scope, visit schedule and updates are agreed around your boat and preferences.
Can I hire you for one day or ongoing service?
Yes. Discuss a private outing, captain relief, recurring visits or a full-time private-vessel arrangement. Availability and suitability are reviewed with you before confirming the service.
How will I know what’s happening with my yacht?
We agree on how and when you want updates. Condition notes, photographs, maintenance follow-up and open items help keep you informed. My proprietary yacht management app is included in all my services at no additional cost, from weekly vessel care to full-time captain service.
Does hiring a captain include renting a boat?
No. For a bareboat charter, you arrange the vessel with its owner or operator and hire your captain independently. Captain service and vessel rental remain separate.
Can you plan around my family’s needs?
Yes. Discuss your guests, timing and onboard preferences in advance. I’m familiar with common kosher considerations; specific dietary and observance requirements are confirmed with you before the trip.
What should I send to get started?
Your boat type and length, marina, preferred dates or schedule and the help you need. For an outing, include your group size and plans. I’ll review availability, scope and pricing with you.
