How long have you been in business?
We have been providing premium yacht rental services in Miami for over 10 years, establishing ourselves as a trusted and experienced leader in the industry. Our extensive experience allows us to cater to a wide range of preferences and ensure that every excursion is memorable and unique.
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary service is offering luxury yacht rentals for various occasions, including private tours, celebrations, corporate events, and more. We provide a fleet of meticulously maintained and fully equipped yachts, ranging from sleek speedboats to opulent mega yachts, ensuring a match for every need. Our services are complemented by experienced crews, optional catering, and customized itineraries, all aimed at delivering an unparalleled boating experience in Miami's beautiful waters.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As the owner, my fascination with the sea and boating began in my childhood, spending summers on the coast and experiencing the freedom and tranquility of being on the water. This passion led me to pursue a career in maritime studies, eventually gaining experience in various maritime roles, from crewing on different vessels to managing marina operations. Recognizing a gap in the market for high-quality, personalized yacht rental experiences in Miami, I was inspired to establish a business that could combine my love for the ocean with my desire to create unforgettable experiences for others. Our company was born from this vision, with a commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of what makes a boating experience truly special.

This central location allows us to efficiently manage our fleet and maintain the high-quality service we're known for.
Looking towards the future, we are indeed considering expansion.
