ABOUT US
"BOATERS PARTNER was born in Miami Beach, Florida back in 2015 after realizing how boaters and future yacht owner were so confused and so un-inform about our industry at every level.
From chartering a yacht, buying a new boat, outfitting, refitting or simply be able to control it in the marina. I witness a need of assistance and education everywhere I was traveling. Every day and on every single dock...
Growing up onboard with parents cruisers, passionate about sailing and spending all my free time around boats in marinas and shipyards, I decide since my younger age I would one day work in the yachting industry.
As a kid I was drawing and designing new yachts lines and equipment... When growing up, the need of feeling the wind and salt water splashes sailing catamarans was greater than the passion of drawing them. That's when I knew I will be working at sea and not in the design office.

A good 10 years later, working as a professional Captain, I realized how difficult it was for investors to aim for the right choice having no experience at all in the marine field.
Every time, the result was the same:
Clients would end up with the yacht the dealer or broker needed to sell and not the one fitting into the clients yearly budget or matching their needs.
They will then have to spend more and more money to adapt and catch up with the situation ending up often selling the boat keeping a sour taste of the yachting dream.
Starting by doing consulting around marinas and online support, helping owners with their new purchase. teaching them basics on the go... I learned step by step what could be done to change the whole experience of these folks...
Since then, while cruising the world captaining one boat at the time and setting up 2 charters companies, I founded Boaters Partner in 2015 and started immediately working developing work relationships and partnering with passionate professionals like me in many countries"
