Meet Your Captains

Meet Your Captains.

We’re two experienced, USCG-licensed captains based in Newport, Rhode Island, and New York City who love being on the water.

From a short coastal hop to a multi-day offshore passage, every trip gets the same direct, hands-on attention.

You’ll work directly with the captains handling your boat — from the first call through to arrival. No middlemen, no call centers, just experienced mariners who know boats and take pride in what they do.

New York, New York

Based in Brooklyn, New York, John has experience running private yachts and charter boats from New York Harbor to Long Island Sound and the Hamptons, and on offshore deliveries along the East Coast.

He is a USCG-licensed 100-Ton Master with more than 1,000 hours at the helm of power vessels from 40 to 88 feet. His deliveries have taken him throughout the East Coast, both offshore and on the Intracoastal Waterway. Beyond the helm, he oversees operations as Chief of Staff at Brooklyn Bridge Marina, and spent five years operating a high-end yacht detailing business on Eastern Long Island.

We believe a good delivery starts with clear communication and careful planning, so you can hand off your vessel with confidence and focus on what’s next.
