Yacht Management & Consultancy
Knowing the nuts and bolts of a marine project or business is only the beginning. We manage vessels in the Mediterranean, North Atlantic and the Caribbean Seas. We oversee the vessels maintenance as well as shipboard systems analysis and assist with crew and port scheduling.
Managing a yacht service business today requires a myriad of skills encompassing legal, regulatory, HR management, tax and accounting disciplines, not to mention international sourcing and buying as well as shop layout and design, required tools, machinery etc.
Whilst utilizing the latest computer software programs for design, accounting and internet marketing techniques platforms and media, one also has to develop client liaison and communication streams including community involvement.
Developing a team spirit with co-workers and employees is fundamental to project design, execution, and completion. Good communication fosters happy client relations and return business - Word of mouth and reliability is always key.
Operating a properly registered and licensed marine business necessitates substantial knowledge of and compliance with regulatory components of EH&S , EPA & OSHA statutes, international maritime legal requirements, customs regulations, local, state and national governmental registrations, certifications and requirements,
Having been in the marine industry for 30 years, most of which as business owner or manager of either a marina, boatyard or marine service company - I feel a have a reasonable grip on the management requirementsof a marine related company.
I estimate so far in my marine work experience, I have worked on over 800 different vessels and done over 1500 different projects. In Seattle, I started and ran a factory building 65+ foot sail & power catamarans and 2004 we built a 95 foot ferry cat with a delta foil. In Panama I started the first sail loft in the country, in over 100 years. I enjoy challenges and working with like minded people.

Although much of my experience is marine based, one project and client has led to another, bending into a myriad of different disciplines.
Please note that these pages are merely an insight into work I have done in the marine and other related industries around the world. I have spent much of my life sailing and working with marinas and boat yards.
The moment I start a business the work has always poured in. This can be a bad thing as one tries to keep up with demand. It is hard to say no to a person who's boat is sinking or who's life long dream is to fix his dad's boat and go sailing with his family.
Many of the people I have worked with or for, could write books on various marine projects and yacht building techniques, as such I count my self as being fortunate to have worked with them.
I am as comfortable taking direction from a client as I am an employer. When one is project focused, they are one and the same thing. The biggest difference are the myriad of legal and financial responsibilities and hours of book work that comes with owning your own company or operating as a subcontractor.
