On the Water: Curating Your Marine Ecosystem

Blue Water Logistics: Curating Your Marine Ecosystem

How to navigate the charter and acquisition market with "Insider" access.

The Executive Thesis: For the High-Net-Worth Individual in South Florida, the water is not just a view; it is a playground. But the marine industry is fragmented. Finding reliable captains, transparent brokers, and first-class vessels can be a minefield of wasted time.

Part of my service model is "Lifestyle Logistics." I leverage my personal relationships to ensure that when you leave the dock, the experience is flawless. Here are three vetted opportunities currently on my radar.

1. The Charter: SAINT (88’ Sirena Yacht)

• The Asset: An 88' Sirena expedition yacht. This is not a standard day-boat; it is a long-range vessel featuring 5 cabins (sleeping 10 guests) with full crew quarters and a private chef.

• The Utility: Whether it is a sunset cruise from Miami Beach, a weekend in Bimini, or an extended voyage to the Exumas or Turks & Caicos, the vessel is expedition-ready.

• The "Insider" Edge: The Captain is family (my brother-in-law). In an industry defined by variables, this connection ensures a level of safety, service, and accountability that I can personally vouch for.

  • Advisor Note: Connect with me for "Friends and Family" pricing structures for day trips or weekly charters.

2. The Sport: HammerCatch (VIP Fishing)

• The Platform: Based out of the iconic Pier Sixty-Six in Fort Lauderdale, this operation utilizes a 35’ HammerCat.

• The Engineering: For those prone to sea sickness or who simply value comfort, the power catamaran hull offers the most stable ride in its class. It cuts through chop that grounds other center consoles.

• The Experience: Run by a close friend and top-tier captain, this is white-glove fishing. If the "Sport" isn't your goal, the vessel is available for luxury Intracoastal cruising. It’s the perfect "Saturday Afternoon" solution without the hassle of ownership.

3. The Acquisition: 92’ Ferretti (2020)

• The Deal: A trusted broker colleague is privately marketing a 2020 Ferretti Yacht 920.

• The "Smart Money" Angle: Priced at $5.4M, this asset sits in the "sweet spot" of the depreciation curve. You are buying a modern, impeccable vessel from the original owner, bypassing the initial depreciation hit of a new build while retaining modern aesthetics and systems.

• The Synergy: A 92' yacht requires specific infrastructure (deep water, wide turning basins, shore power).

  • The TPH Service: I don't just introduce you to the boat; I find the home that fits it. If you are looking to acquire a vessel of this caliber, let’s discuss the waterfront real estate that can accommodate it.
