Having owned a small sailboat for some years on Florida’s Central-East Coast and Intercostal waterway, Paul always had the desire to be on the water but didn’t always have the time. In late 2019 he left an executive job in the wide-format digital print industry to pursue new ventures. This was immediately followed by a global pandemic, which afforded him the time and opportunity to discover a new career path. He quickly acquired a captains license and began running deliveries. Paul’s first delivery job was bringing a 100’ Broward yacht down from East Hampton to Southern Florida. It was a great way to see the eastern seaboard and most of the Intercoastal from north to south. He continues to gain knowledge and experience as well as many great friendships in the yachting industry.

- Originally from Seattle, WA, Emery went off to college to play soccer at Oregon State University while getting her major in Digital Communications.

Seeing pods of orcas, humpback whales, and the beautiful scenery Canada has to offer, Emery was hooked. Her passion for the ocean, travel, and meeting new people fueled the love she has for her job.
