A management company that runs the whole program.

We run full management programs for about 100 boats out of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Every vessel has one coordinator and one invoice; the schedule sits in the same file. Most of the work happens between owner visits, not during them.

The company has been doing this for about ten years. In that time it grew into named teams ashore in the office, working alongside a network on the water. A question about your boat goes to one named person, not into a queue.

Three regions. Part of the fleet moves between two of them with the season:

  • South Florida Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and the docks between them. The home water and the largest share of the fleet.
  • The tri-state area The summer season, and the boats that run north and back.
  • The Great Lakes Fresh water, a short season, and the same standard of care.

The teams, ashore and on the water.

Here's who picks up when something on your boat needs an answer, and what each team is accountable for once the call ends. More than forty five people work ashore. About two hundred captains and crew work the boats behind them.

Clients. Owner requests arrive by phone and through Mariner Pro, and go to the coordinator who already knows the boat.

Operations. A vessel record, opened together: what was done on the last visit, what is due next, and who is scheduled to do it.

What the company holds itself to.

Three pillars, in the words the company already used before it had this website. Nothing here has been dressed up for one.

  • Integrity We pride ourselves on professionalism, punctuality, and honesty. Every job gets done to the same standard whether or not anyone is watching, and we would rather earn your business than tell you what you want to hear.
  • Proactive Our service philosophy is proactive, not reactive. We pay close attention to every detail so we find issues before they become problems, instead of putting out fires after the fact.
  • Personable We work to keep a personal relationship with every owner. We have found that this keeps everyone on the same page. We treat our customers like family and take care of every boat like it is our own.

Every photograph here is our own crew.

Most of the category runs on stock photography. We'd rather you saw who actually turns up. These are our people, on boats we manage, on ordinary working days in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

The partnerships we hold.

These are relationships that show up in the work on your boat. We name them here instead of listing logos.

  • Quick USA Authorized dealer. Windlasses, gyro stabilizers, and thruster systems, supplied and installed in house.
  • Yacht Protection Concepts Sister brand. The protection and care products our own crews use on the boats we manage.

Rated 5.0 on Google.

Ask for a consultation. We'll walk the vessel with you and write down what it needs, then tell you which team would be on it. No guessing. We don't quote a number before that visit happens.
