Barton & Gray logo

Barton & Gray

Barton & Gray Mariners Club was founded in 2006 by a crew of marine, software and marketing professionals, helmed by Timothy Barton and Douglas Gray. In the early days of the burgeoning “collaborative” or “sharing” economy, the crew recognized the vast inventory of time aboard yachts tied up to the docks, as well as the opportunity for technology to actualize that inventory. But most importantly, the crew wanted to make the joys of time spent on the water more approachable, expanding one of mankind’s favorite pastimes to a whole new audience. ​
