SAFE HARBOR WATER

On the cover of this year’s Safe Harbor Water magazine, there’s a stunning Guillaume Plisson capture of a superyacht motoring somewhere off southern Europe. We love the silver-blue hues and clean lines of the shot. But you don’t have to be soaring above the sea in one of these marvels of engineering to experience the magic and wonder of boating. You can do it in a 49-foot Grand Banks like the one that first captivated the imagination of Monaco Marine founder Michel Ducros. You can do it in a 15.5-foot skiff like the one Randy Ramsey built in his backyard long before he founded Jarrett Bay Boatworks. The key is that you’re out there; you’re experiencing it.

Every place we visit and every person we meet along the way teaches us something. As we go, we are drawn into the unfolding mystery and breathtaking beauty of the world. We don’t take it for granted—we’ve learned that, if you look closely enough, there really are no ordinary people or places.

We hope that the stories in this issue will inspire you to cast off the lines, push out of the harbor, and have some extraordinary adventures.

If you weren’t on the yacht racing scene a few decades ago, the shared lineage of two renowned superyacht events might be news to you. Despite taking place over 1,500 miles apart, the St. Barths Bucket and Safe Harbor Race Weekend in Newport, Rhode Island, have common DNA, not just in their ethos but in their heritage.

Let’s go back to 1986 and a man named Nelson Doubleday Jr. Though better known as the owner of the New York Mets and a publishing empire, he also owned a stunning 92-foot yacht named Mandalay. The problem with the yacht was that she couldn’t be raced in any local regattas in the Northeast. There simply wasn’t anything that could accommodate her size. At his birthday celebration that August, Doubleday and friends debated the potential racing prowess of their respective boats. The very next day, seven superyachts set out on a friendly 15-mile competition. The prize? The eponymous bucket.

Thus, the Nantucket Bucket was born. From 1986 to 2001, it was an annual reunion for superyacht sailors and a celebration of beautiful boats and the camaraderie among their owners. In the early 2000s, the Bucket moved to Newport Shipyard in Rhode Island, where it ran for 12 years. Eventually, the St. Barths Bucket was established as the off-season alternative to the event. Participants would race in St. Barths in March and compete in Newport during the summer. Eventually, however, the events were merged, and the Bucket found a full-time home in the south.

In 2016, after two years without the race in Newport, a successor was launched: the Candy Store Cup Superyacht Edition. Though it borrowed its name from a previous race series for 12 Metre vessels during the America’s Cup glory days, its mission was to resurrect the fun and spirit of superyacht racing from the early Bucket days.

Two globally recognized regattas reflect a common heritage.

Even while running the Candy Store Cup, Newport Shipyard continued its affiliation with St. Barths Bucket—and when Safe Harbor acquired Newport Shipyard, that didn’t change. Today, Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard and Safe Harbor Rybovich in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, maintain their relationship with the Bucket, with the Florida location serving as a launching point for boats headed south.

After a break for the pandemic, the Candy Store Cup was relaunched as Safe Harbor Race Weekend, with goals to get even more people involved and better serve the yacht racing community—a huge part of Newport Shipyard’s heritage. Safe Harbor expanded the class offerings to PHRF, ORC, and One Design, plus a Navigator and a Superyacht class. The strategy paid off. The most recent edition of Safe Harbor Race Weekend

attracted 72 boats across all classes, and it has become a highlight of the Newport sailing calendar.

“Listening to participants to hear what they want is important,” says Veronica Brown, Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard’s Director of Experiences. “For example, it used to be that on Friday everyone sailed around Conanicut Island, but then one of the competitors came to us and asked if we could sail around Prudence instead. We said, ‘Sure, let’s try it,’ and we’ve been doing that ever since.”

St. Barths has long held appeal for sailors in New England. “Everyone wants to visit, and so many yachts are already in the Caribbean that time of year,” Brown says. St. Barths has geographical star power, with its turquoise waters and

A strong sense of community defines both events—more than regattas, they’re reunions.

sugar-sand beaches. But, she says, that’s why they work hard to make Safe Harbor Race Weekend an event that people return to year after year. “There are fantastic social events every night,” Brown says. “The shoreside part of the weekend is as important as the racing side.” A strong community component is key for an unforgettable event. More than a regatta, it’s a reunion.

The St. Barths Bucket has a similarly robust social scene, with lively parties and VIP events. In 2026, over 30 superyachts in 10 classes competed across four days of racing. Participants remember it as a relaxed, well-organized event and the perfect place to run into friends year after year.

“ It’s really about the love of sailing and the camaraderie that comes with that.”

“Overall, superyacht racing offers a different competitive experience than other classes,” says Brown. “They’re big boats, they’re very disparate, and they use pursuit or staggered start formats. Ratings make the racing as equal as possible, but it’s really about the love of sailing and the camaraderie that comes with that.”

This ethos is the guiding principle for both regattas. Integral to this mission is Peter Craig, who serves as race chairman for both events. His expertise in race management stretches back decades—he ran the Candy Store Cup and Key West Race Week in its heyday. Craig and the same crew of volunteers who manage the Bucket come up to Newport each year to run Safe Harbor Race Weekend. This continuity of experience ensures that both regattas maintain the highest standards.

St. Barths Bucket and Safe Harbor Race Weekend have evolved over the years. Still, they’ve descended from Doubleday’s vision for racing his beloved Mandalay. These sister events maintain a common spirit, fostered by friendly competition and an emphasis on camaraderie in the community. ▪

He grew up fishing off North Carolina and went on to found Jarrett Bay Boatworks. Today, as part of the Safe Harbor team, Randy Ramsey’s passion for boats, craftsmanship, and community continues to shape the future of boats and boating.

When he was a kid growing up in Kinston, North Carolina, Randy Ramsey had the great fortune of having parents who were obsessed with boats and fishing. “We fished every weekend,” he says. “We’d trailer the boat somewhere in the state and fish close to shore. We’d fish in the sound, and we’d even fish during winters.”

When Ramsey was 10, his father took him on a charter boat to fish out of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. The translucent Gulf Stream waters were rough but positively thrilling for a boy who never got seasick. “We brought in dolphin and king mackerel and just had a great day. It was then that I thought to myself: ‘Let me get this straight. You can get paid to go fishing?’ And that’s when I knew what I wanted to do.”

Ramsey’s parents eventually moved the family to the boatbuilding hub of Harkers Island, North Carolina, where they ran a marina. Their son drove boats and studied their construction, along with seamanship and fishing techniques,

with a scholar’s intent. In the process, he met fishing and boatbuilding legends in the area, including custom builders Buddy Cannady and Omie Tillett.

One day, Ramsey’s fisherman neighbor offered to help the teenager build his first boat.

“He said, ‘If you get two sheets of plywood and 100 feet of juniper, you and I can build a skiff in your backyard,’” Ramsey recalls. “I hung a little 20-horsepower motor on it and used it all around the sound. It really set me into thinking about boatbuilding and fishing, just kind of the whole package all wrapped up together.”

Years later, a mariner Ramsey had worked for helped him buy a boat. On it, Ramsey documented his sea time. Then, on his 18th birthday, he passed his captain’s license exam. “I ran a charter the next day,” he says.

Ramsey was goal-oriented. He studied diesel mechanics while leading charters and acquired his first “proper” charter boat—a 43-footer by Tiffany Yachts in Virginia. The boat was slow and didn’t handle particularly well, but it helped deepen his understanding of the traits and engineering necessary for a proper boat built to run off North Carolina. Later, a fishing excursion aboard Omie Tillett’s legendary Sportsman boat brought a revelation. Tillett was a founding father of the modern North Carolina sportfishing boat, which is characterized by a deep V and a serious hull flare designed for cutting through—and staying above—short- and long-period swells while keeping spray off helm and crew. “I couldn’t believe how well that boat handled,” Ramsey says.

In 1986, Ramsey and his friend Jim Luxton decided to construct their own offshore design. They rented a big, leaky barn and went to work. They had help from a couple of expert builders, including Cannady, Irving Forbes, Tillett, and Tom Daughtry, who bought Sportsman Boat Works from Tillett. The first boat from this no-name company was a 52-footer that came together with the help of two fishermen from WinstonSalem, Bucky Dennis and Gene Vogler. “They saw something in us and put up the money to build it,” says Ramsey.

The old barn was located on Jarrett Bay. During construction, Ramsey called a vendor to order barrels of resin. When the vendor told him they couldn’t sell him anything unless he had a name for his company, he looked out the back door. “I said, ‘Well, we’re Jarrett Bay Boatworks.’”

Jarrett Bay christened its first build Sensation. Ramsey and Luxton chartered her for several years. She performed well and garnered attention from many admirers, including Jack Huddle. He commissioned a 45-footer with a handshake deal. It was the beginning of a relationship that had a big impact on the success of the company. Years later, Jarrett Bay Boatworks moved to a facility in Marshallberg, North Carolina, where Ramsey was amazed to find he had a small fleet under construction, 50 people on the payroll, and a yacht brokerage business.

“As much as I hated to give up chartering, the boatbuilding business had become large enough that I couldn’t afford not to,” he says.

In 1998, 175 acres of waterfront property in Beaufort, North Carolina, hit Ramsey’s radar. The land wasn’t in great shape,

but the Huddle family helped. “They put in the roads, the infrastructure, and the buildings for us. That family has done things for me that nobody would do for anyone except their child. I cannot express how much they’ve meant to us.”

In Beaufort, Jarrett Bay built, sold, and serviced boats, and served as a hub for a burgeoning recreational and commercial marine industry in the community. Diversifying the company in this way helped insulate it from the cyclical nature of highend boat construction and sales.

As the business changed and matured, Ramsey started thinking about the Jarrett Bay legacy. He had no children in the business, but he wanted to keep the sprawling venture viable and the 150 staffers employed.

“When I saw Safe Harbor start to buy marinas 10 years ago, I didn’t see us as a fit,” he says. “I thought they wanted marinas, not a boatyard. And we were also a builder. But Safe Harbor’s Rives Potts just kept visiting. He said: ‘We don’t want to take you apart. We want to make you better, put in more infrastructure, and invest in your company and your employees.’”

After a few years of discussion, Ramsey and Potts reached an agreement, one that included keeping Ramsey on as Vice President of Operations at what is now Safe Harbor Jarrett Bay. Today, he continues his work in sales and boatbuilding. And that’s a good thing, because Jarrett Bay Boatworks currently has a pair of 90-foot sportfishermen in build.

Ramsey is excited about the opportunity to collaborate closely with teams across other Safe Harbor locations. “If we have a customer in Florida, we can reach out to Safe Harbor Rybovich and work together as one team to support that boat owner.” Safe Harbor, he says, has built a real opportunity for Members, particularly when they travel.

“When I drive through the boatyard each day and see what’s going on, it’s really, really exciting,” says Ramsey. “I love what I do, and I’m excited about the future for this company. I can’t wait to see what comes next.” ▪

Gleaming like a jewel in the crown of the Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, St. Kitts is home to a lush tropical rainforest, uncrowded beaches, and a vibrant local culture. Just 30 nautical miles from St. Barths and 51 nautical miles from St. Maarten, the island is ideally located in the Eastern Caribbean.

On the southeast peninsula of the island lies Safe Harbor St. Kitts. Acquired in 2025, the marina’s naturally protected harbor has been developed to welcome some of the world’s largest superyachts, with slips to accommodate vessels up to 377 feet, unrestricted height access, 24/7 security, in-slip fueling, and full-service dockside support.

The level of infrastructure makes it one of the most sophisticated and largest capacity marinas in the Eastern Caribbean. But what sets it apart from facilities in the region is Safe Harbor’s vision for the marina to function as a central hub and destination for superyachts that is also dedicated to providing captains and crew with a place to reset and recharge.

Melanie Bennett, General Manager of Safe Harbor St. Kitts, says that the island’s privacy, natural beauty, and laid-back vibes all coalesce into an atmosphere specifically designed to cater to superyacht crew.

“Our focus is rooted in health and wellness. The crews generally work from 7 to 3. When they get done, they want to move to R&R, and we’re here to look after [them],” says Bennett.

After a shift ends, crew have a wealth of options at their disposal. Bennett says that the gym and padel courts are popular. There’s also a crew lounge with ping-pong and billiards tables, a boardroom for meetings, and a swimming pool. One of the most recent additions, a golf simulator, looks poised to compete with the padel courts as a celebrated amenity for the men and women of the superyacht crews.

Another major reason Safe Harbor St. Kitts stands out is its spectacular natural beauty. From the marina, it is a five-minute walk to Crew Beach. There are kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and snorkeling gear available for use. For those who look to venture farther afield, “There’s a lot to explore,” says Bennett. One can hike or bike to some of the island’s most stunning attractions, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. There are rainforest trails and volcanic vistas atop the 3,792-foot Mount Liamuiga. Beachcombers can choose the white sands of the Caribbean beaches or the striking volcanic black sands at Dieppe Bay on the island’s north shore.

The “not in it, but close to it” location of Safe Harbor St. Kitts means that crew can choose other ways to unwind. A five-minute water taxi goes to Nevis, where there are quieter, plantation-style hotels. Day-trippers can hop aboard the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, originally built over a century ago to haul sugarcane, for a tour of the northeastern coast. The beach bars of Frigate Bay are close, and nightlife on the island is easily accessible, with a number of both casual and fine-dining options nearby.

Bennett has worked at the St. Kitts facility for the last decade and says that over the last year, the supercharged effort and smart development from Safe Harbor will ensure long-term growth. But it is crew feedback from all over the world that is garnering international recognition for this facility. “This is our new favorite spot” and “It’s a place we want to be” are some of the things that Bennett has heard from satisfied crew.

The welcoming and protected basin at Safe Harbor St. Kitts makes it a strategic and convenient location for a premier yachting destination. Its elite services and world-class amenities are second to none. But its dedication to serving superyacht crew is what sets it apart and will keep these professionals returning for years to come. ▪

SAFE HARBOR WATER
Newport-based artist and sailor Kelsy Patnaude creates imaginative, psychological works that explore the sublime beauty and terror of the sea.

Kelsy Patnaude, an artist and sailor based in Newport, Rhode Island, is inspired by the sublime, by the beauty and terror in vast seascapes. That fascination sustains her work as a visual artist and as captain of the classic 12 Metre sailing yacht, Onawa

“A lot of the artwork I do is about the terror of the unknown,” Patnaude says. “Someone that chases the sublime is someone that’s chasing pleasurable terror.”

Patnaude’s artistic focus is inspired in part by her personal sailing journey, which began at summer camp when she was a child. The experience left her fearful of the sport for many years. Even now, she says, “It doesn’t truly go away.”

It wasn’t until her 20s that Patnaude gave sailing another try. After earning an undergraduate degree in studio art from Salve Regina University in Newport, she was studying graphic design in graduate school when she realized it wasn’t the right career path. She left the program and, wanting to stay in Newport, found work on the 12 Metre charter yachts in town.

Patnaude spent the next few summers learning the ropes on these historic vessels. She eventually began racing in regattas and quickly found excitement in the action.

“I really liked the buoy racing, doing a lot of stuff really quickly, having to be really observant about everything,” she says. “That became the path I wanted to follow.”

SAFE HARBOR WATER

Around the time Patnaude graduated, the classic 12 Metre

Patnaude spent one season gaining experience in Antigua and then joined a classic Herreshoff yacht undergoing a refit in Maine, where she learned more about wooden boatbuilding from expert craftsmen. Between racing classic yachts during the summers, she also completed an MFA program in visual art at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating in 2019.

Around the time Patnaude graduated, the classic 12 Metre Onawa, designed by W. Starling Burgess and built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 1928, was reassembling in Newport. Captain Barbara Krasinski hired Patnaude as a deckhand, and they raced together until the pandemic. When the boat reassembled again in 2021, Krasinski had moved on, and Patnaude was asked to be captain. She is now going on her sixth season at the helm, a role she balances with her career as an artist, focusing on sailing during the summers and painting in the off-season.

Onawa races in classic yacht regattas along the New England coast. For the past two summers, Patnaude has also captained her in Safe Harbor Race Weekend, an annual regatta held in and around Narragansett Bay. This event has allowed the PHRF-rated boat to branch out into new competition, racing alongside modern builds despite being nearly a century old.

She is impressed by how Safe Harbor has expanded Race Weekend beyond a regatta into a full-fledged event through dinners and other social gatherings. “It’s nice to see an organization put so much effort into an event like this,” she says. “It makes the weekend that much more special for our team.” Last year, she created an original painting for the Safe Harbor Race Weekend commemorative poster, using a photo transfer of Onawa from the previous year’s regatta. The painting was auctioned off at the event, with proceeds donated to Sail Newport, a local nonprofit offering affordable public sailing instruction and other sailing opportunities.

Patnaude often uses photo transfers when working with oil on canvas, which helps her juxtapose the real with the imagined. The photo transfers represent real moments that have happened; with paint, she creates imaginative, psychological landscapes. In addition to oil on canvas, Patnaude also works in oil on linen and gouache on paper.

sailing world. “I look at the past a lot. I look

Many of her paintings explore femininity and the role of gender in the male-dominated sailing world. “I look at the past a lot. I look at how, historically, sailing was all male in the Age of Sail days. How does that affect us in the present day when we’re trying to get more diversity in the sport?” she says.

She draws much of her inspiration from the accomplishments of her female sailor friends, including Cole Brauer, the first woman from the United States to sail single-handed around the world nonstop and unassisted as part of the 2023–2024 Global Solo Challenge. Brauer completed the challenge on March 7, 2024, at age 29, finishing second overall.

When Brauer decided to sail around the world, Patnaude immediately knew she wanted to paint a panorama depicting the journey. She was inspired by The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ’Round the World, a 1,275-foot-long moving cyclorama painted by Benjamin Russell and Caleb Purrington that had fascinated her since she first saw it at the New Bedford Whaling Museum during graduate school.

She stayed in frequent communication with Brauer while she was offshore. “We would talk about what she was seeing, what she was experiencing—and how she was feeling, because the resulting painted landscape is feeling,” she says.

Patnaude spent 10 months translating Brauer’s experience into paint. The final piece—created with photo transfer, oil, graphite, and ink on linen—measured 100 feet long and was displayed on a circular structure, so viewers literally moved around the world as they looked at it. Patnaude included transcriptions of her conversations with Brauer beneath the canvas. She also incorporated Brauer’s videos from the

journey, placing them chronologically around the exhibit to correspond with each part of the painting. The work was displayed at the Newport Art Museum from October 2024 to April 2025.

Patnaude does not aspire to sail around the world herself, but through her artwork she hopes to shine a light on other women’s journeys and inspire more diversity in the sport. Her paintings, she says, are also an outlet for her own experiences working as an accomplished female captain in the sailing industry and help her to process her challenges and successes on the water.

“I have moments that I feel completely empowered, being able to sail and captain a nearly hundred-year-old, 70foot boat,” she says. “Sailing can really build a woman’s confidence, or a young girl’s confidence, but then you can also have these really hard moments, and the battle between the two becomes a lot of the painting work.” ▪

PURPOSE GROWTH WITH

REPORT

As Safe Harbor enters a new era of expansion, our commitment to sustainability continues to evolve alongside it. Our 2025 Sustainability Report reflects the progress we’ve made in caring for our people, supporting our communities, and protecting the natural environments that define the waterfront lifestyle. It is both a look at where we are today and a reflection of the responsibility we carry forward.

“As we continue our growth trajectory, we are committed to prioritizing and delivering value to our many stakeholders, including Teammates, Members, the communities we call home, and the natural environment that constitutes the foundation—and future—of our business.”

As Safe Harbor expands into Europe, Steve and Stephanie Rowe bring a lifetime of experience to a new chapter.

Steve Rowe had no idea several decades ago, when he went to study mechanical engineering in Upstate New York, that his life would take him all around the world and ultimately land him in the business of international marina operations.

Rowe, who is Senior Vice President and Director of European Operations for Safe Harbor, got his start out of school at GE Power Systems. He and his fellow graduate— and future wife—Stephanie, each traveled the world for the company, working separately as mechanical engineers in over 30 different countries apiece. Steve was primarily in Asia, while Stephanie was largely in Europe and the Americas. Eventually, they both ended up in Hong Kong. That’s where they fell in love and decided to build a life together.

“We were married in 1997, and we moved back to America and started a different phase of our GE careers,” Steve says, adding that one of their priorities was to limit their travel while raising a family. “We moved from field engineering into office positions so you could just come home at the end of each day.”

Over the next decade, Steve’s roles in GE evolved to the point where he was managing multiple factories across a dozen countries and traveling extensively once again. At the time, the couple had one son with another on the way. They decided they wanted a more entrepreneurial lifestyle, but at first, they weren’t exactly sure what kind of business they wanted to own. They did have general parameters, though.

Steve Rowe, SVP & Director of European Operations, and Stephanie Rowe, Director of European Integrations

“We started really broad with: We want to have our own business that we could grow and improve upon,” Stephanie says. “We want it to be a place where people come to have fun, a place to raise a family. We thought maybe it’s a vineyard, maybe it’s a hospitality business. Steve grew up in the ski business.”

The fact that Steve and Stephanie both love the water and had enjoyed chartering sailboats in the British Virgin Islands landed them on the idea of owning a marine business.

“The environment that we wanted was raising our kids to work with us in the business, and we wanted a business where people came with a smile on their face to enjoy themselves,” Steve says.

They traveled to different boatyards along the U.S. East Coast and scoured the financials, digging into the way the various operations worked. The more they learned, the more convinced they were that the marine industry might be right for them.

In November 2005, they bought Great Island Boat Yard in Harpswell, Maine. Over the years, they focused on the customer experience, and they drew on their engineering backgrounds to build a strong technical service capability in the yard. As a result, the business grew from $1.3 million in revenue to $12 million. They expanded the staff from 12 to 50 employees and drew clients from up and down the East Coast as well as Europe for refit work.

“We really enjoyed investing in it and growing it and making it a formidable East Coast service yard. And with that, we became specialists in sailboat refit for builds up to about 60

feet,” Steve says. “Some years we would be refitting five or six Little Harbors and Oysters at the same time. That became our niche.”

The Safe Harbor team approached them before the pandemic, at a time when the larger company was also looking to acquire properties like Newport Shipyard—evolving strategically to include more service businesses in addition to properties that were primarily marina slips and storage. In 2020, the Rowes sold Great Island to Safe Harbor, but continued running the property with both their sons. “I stayed on for quite some time to transition the team, processes, and customers, and to see the kids get off to college,” Steve says.

About three years ago, with both sons in college as mechanical engineers, Steve decided it was time to retire. Or so he thought, until Safe Harbor’s leadership team gave him opportunities to become involved in all new ways.

“I really enjoyed doing acquisitions, so I started jumping in,” Steve says. “I really got into it, and I loved it, and it was a great team. Stephanie and I got involved with Christophe Harbour in St. Kitts. That was Safe Harbor’s first international acquisition.”

Starting with that property in the Caribbean, his role as Senior Vice President and Director of European Operations grew organically. By spring 2025, the Christophe Harbour

chapter was complete, and the Rowes moved to Beaulieusur-Mer, France, where they are helping Safe Harbor expand into Europe. They’re off to a good start, having been involved with the onboarding of Monaco Marine—Safe Harbor’s first acquisition in the Mediterranean.

Steve says Safe Harbor was drawn to Monaco Marine because the team was exceptional and that they were culturally very similar to Safe Harbor. “We all saw the same culture of technical excellence and customer service that we strive for in Safe Harbor. Everyone involved knew that the first acquisition in the Mediterranean had to be successful, or there might not be a second one, and this is why we chose Monaco Marine.”

What was meant to be retirement became a new chapter—one that carried the Rowes from Safe Harbor’s first international acquisition in the Caribbean to helping lead its expansion across Europe.

But success did indeed follow, and, as Steve says, “We have a team here now, so for future acquisitions, we’re ready to go.”

This kind of work brings together all kinds of skills the couple have amassed throughout their previous careers. And the decades of effort have allowed them to order an Oyster 595, which they are eagerly waiting to see come off the production line. Their plan is to do some serious boating themselves, after so many years of helping to make other people’s cruising dreams come true. They expect to pick up their boat in the U.K. and then move aboard, to begin exploring the Mediterranean from the water. They’re calling the boat Zee, named for a childhood mentor of Steve’s who inspired the entrepreneurial, adventurous spirit that has led Steve and Stephanie through life.

For the Rowes, the idea of becoming liveaboard cruisers is simply another way to embrace a new adventure in life. They plan to hire support crew for major crossings, but otherwise, they are looking forward to being owner-operators. As with so many things they’ve done, they’ll figure it out as they go, spending time with family along the way and continuing to work on acquisition opportunities for Safe Harbor. ▪

OF THE COAST

From The Beach Boys to John Legend, Safe Harbor Experiences are hitting all the right notes.

Since 2022, Safe Harbor Experiences have united Members across the network to celebrate life on the water. These destination weekends blend the pleasures of travel, coastal cuisine, and camaraderie against some of the world’s most sought-after cruising locales and the demand speaks for itself.

“Every Experience reaches capacity almost as soon as it’s announced,” says Rebecca Knapp LeBlanc, Senior Vice President of Partnerships and Experiences at Safe Harbor. “Members organize trips with each other, and many extend their stays into longer vacations at the destination marina.”

Two recent events—one on each coast—centered on the theme of “Sounds of the Coast,” with music as the throughline and local waters, regional flavors, and waterfront settings providing the melody.

SAFE HARBOR LEGENDARY WEEKEND

San Diego, CA

At Safe Harbor Sunroad, Members immersed themselves in San Diego’s distinctive maritime character—modern comfort woven with Western spirit and old-world heritage. Saturday’s reception offered fresh coastal fare and sweeping views of the bay and city skyline, while daytime activities ranged from unwinding in poolside bliss at the marina to cruising the waterways of San Diego Bay. The weekend’s defining moment came Sunday evening at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, where Grammy Award–winning artist John Legend brought his 20th Anniversary World Tour to an open-air waterfront stage in an unforgettable performance.

SAFE HARBOR ENDLESS SUMMER

West Palm Beach, FL

Members gathered at Safe Harbor Rybovich, where a Friday evening welcome reception set the tone: handcrafted cocktails, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and a backdrop of sea and gleaming superyachts. The weekend offered a choice of pursuits—a Worth Avenue Historic Walking Tour, strolling the docks at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, and more curated excursions beyond. The crescendo arrived Saturday afternoon with a performance by music legends The Beach Boys, stirring nostalgia and setting the stage for an evening to remember.

The promise endures: to recharge, reconnect, and savor life on the water—at an unhurried pace, where adventure and hospitality always meet. ▪

SAFE HARBOR WATER
“It’s 4 o’clock. Lines out, lines out, lines out!”

The friendly, feminine voice sizzled over the VHF, thin and metallic in the salt breeze. We were on the fence, near the edge of the tournament’s 50-mile boundary.

A long way from home, I thought. The flat-calm Pacific Ocean shimmered in every direction, sea and sky merging as one in the distant horizon.

“The unofficial total is 2,753 sailfish and one blue marlin released. That’s an average of 64 billfish per boat,” she said. “Incredible fishing, and a new tournament record. Have a safe trip back. We’ll see you at the docks.”

I leaned against the teak covering board, shoulders and arms aching, hands nicked and sore. Three straight days of controlled chaos had left our cockpit a blur of greyhounding sailfish and shouted releases. When the final tallies were posted, we had landed in the upper third of a 43-boat fleet— respectable, though shy of a podium finish. In the Los Sueños Triple Crown, every bite counts.

Today, a decade after that incredible experience in February 2016, the tournament’s reputation has only grown. Widely regarded as the most competitive light-tackle, dead-bait billfish series in the world, the Triple Crown draws elite crews who thrive on razor-thin margins of victory and relentless action. But the fishing is only part of the story. The setting, lush and impossibly green, elevates the entire experience.

The event is staged out of Safe Harbor Los Sueños, an integral part of the Los Sueños Resort and Marina complex in Playa Herradura, along Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast. Behind it, the rainforest climbs into misty hills that are home to scarlet macaws and howler monkeys. Out front, beyond Herradura Bay, is one of the most productive sailfish fisheries on the planet.

During the dry season, late November through April, the Pacific lays down to a gentle roll, and bait concentrates in a staggering mass. It’s common to see frigate birds wheeling over vast shoals of sardines while pods of porpoise and yellowfin tuna slash through the edges. Beneath that frenzy, sailfish stack up.

The Los Sueños Triple Crown blends highly competitive billfishing with dockside camaraderie in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

During tournaments, crews pitch rigged ballyhoo to packs of fish that seem to materialize from nowhere. Double- and triple-headers are routine, and it’s not unusual for the fleet to release several hundred billfish in a single day. Blue, black, and striped marlin prowl the same waters, adding heft to the release totals and the leaderboard. During peak years, the Triple Crown (a three-leg series) has tallied catch-and-release rates in the thousands.

SAFE HARBOR WATER

What began as a cattle ranch became

a world-class destination for sportfishing.

The idea for the resort was hatched in 1991, when California developer Bill Royster cruised the coast aboard his longrange sportfisherman and discovered what was then a cattle ranch on the bay. There were no true marina facilities in the country at the time, but Royster envisioned a place that could accommodate a world-class fleet of fishing boats. After nearly a decade of permitting and infrastructure work, the marina opened in 2001.

In the early days, it was a dirt parking lot and about 50 slips. But word spread quickly among anglers, captains, and crews. By 2004, the marina had expanded to 100 slips, and boats were fishing hard nearly every day of the season. Eventually, the property evolved into a master-planned community with private residences, a beachfront hotel, golf, and dining, all bordered by a 600-acre nature reserve.

Royster also played a pivotal role in shaping Costa Rica’s first marina law, helping establish a regulatory framework that

opened the door for modern marina development nationwide. But early on, Royster knew infrastructure alone wouldn’t create prestige. For that, he needed an event.

Enter Ashley Bretecher. She joined Los Sueños in 2001 at age 18, working first in the marina and sales departments before moving into corporate roles. By 2005, she was Tournament Director. She then steadily refined the format of the competition, which now prizes precision and sportsmanship, competition and camaraderie.

Each leg of the Triple Crown runs three days, and is strictly catch-and-release for all billfish species. Teams earn points for sailfish and marlin releases that are verified by the certified independent observers placed aboard every boat. Tie scores are common and are broken by the earliest release time, a detail that keeps crews always hustling. Recently, a Ladies Only event was added ahead of each leg, to broaden participation and add another layer of friendly rivalry to the series.

The sun sets over Safe Harbor Los Sueños

The fishery’s consistency is what keeps the fleet returning to Safe Harbor Los Sueños. Seasonal upwellings and currents concentrate bait in the waters just beyond the marina, creating ideal feeding conditions. Calm seas in peak fishing season make it easier for boats to run out to the 50-mile boundary and the temperature breaks and color changes that hold packs of game fish. Even on “slow” days, double-digit releases are possible. On hot days, the action borders on absurd.

Conservation is also woven into the culture. Working alongside The Billfish Foundation, Los Sueños supported efforts that helped make circle hooks mandatory in Costa Rica’s billfish fishery. Circle hooks are far more likely to lodge in the corner of a fish’s jaw, dramatically improving postrelease survival. The marina also prohibits fish cleaning on the docks to protect water quality and bird life. In addition, the Los Sueños Foundation for Schools has invested heavily in local education.

It’s a setting that reminds even the most hardcharging competitor why they fell in love with fishing, and Los Sueños, in the first place.

In 2025, the marina entered a new chapter when Safe Harbor acquired the facility. With a portfolio that now exceeds 150 locations, Safe Harbor brings operational depth and capital for continued upgrades. Plans include modernizing electrical systems, expanding social spaces, and enhancing Member services, all while maintaining the character that made the property so distinctive in the first place.

Bretecher’s outlook for the tournament remains ambitious. Beyond maintaining the Triple Crown’s competitive edge, she envisions additional fun-fish events and expanded prize structures that reflect the caliber of the teams. The goal is growth without losing the intimacy that defines the series.

That intimacy reveals itself each afternoon at the dock. Crews gather as boats ease into their slips. Observers step off with scorecards in hand. Stories flow as easily as the rum—about the fish that switched off right at the transom, the quadruple-header that turned the cockpit into a tangled mess, and the blue marlin that crashed a dink bait meant for sails.

Scarlet macaws flash overhead on their evening commute. The air smells faintly of salt and rainforest. Just beyond the marina, the jungle presses close, dense and alive. It’s a setting that reminds even the most hardcharging competitor why they fell in love with fishing, and Los Sueños, in the first place.

As surely as the dry season returns to Costa Rica each year, the sailfish will gather off Herradura Bay. Teasers will splash into the water, mates will crouch ready for action, and radios will crackle at 4 p.m. with another staggering total. And once again, the fleet will chase not just trophies, but the rare convergence of world-class fishing and the wild, unspoiled beauty that defines Safe Harbor Los Sueños. ▪

Team Galati celebrates a Leg 3 win

Six marine timepieces for yachtsmen with an eye for fine craftsmanship.

From the precision of marine chronometers that once guided naval fleets across open oceans to the rugged dive watches worn by commandos and explorers, timepieces have long been essential tools for those who live by the sea. Ulysse Nardins used to be the way competitive sailors counted down to a race’s start. Early Panerais adorned the wrists of Italian commandos in World War II as they sought to place underwater explosives on the hulls of the British fleet. And the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore was always a status symbol. Today, a few fine marine watches blend rich nautical heritage with modern craftsmanship, offering yachtsmen both functional excellence and unmistakable style on the water.

ULYSSE NARDIN MARINE REGATTA

Perhaps no watch brand has a stronger link to sailing than Ulysse Nardin. The company got its start in 1846 building marine chronometers, which ships used to determine their longitude. Extreme accuracy was of paramount concern, as a lag of just a few seconds could mean a vessel sailed miles off course. A UN chronometer was so prized that the company supplied the British, American, Japanese, and Russian navies. Today, that deep—and many would say unrivaled—nautical heritage is evident in the Marine Regatta. This watch has a built-in countdown complication that allows competitive sailors to time the start of a race accurately. Most regattas have a set time period during which boats jockey for position and attempt to cross the starting line at full speed just as the race begins. The Marine Regatta is more than capable of assisting with this task, and it has been worn by many victorious yachtsmen.

ROLEX SUBMARINER

The Rolex Submariner was not the world’s first modern dive watch—Blancpain’s iconic Fifty Fathoms beat it to the punch by about six months in 1953. But when it was introduced at the Basel Watch Fair in 1954, it took the world by storm. Its rotating bezel, high-contrast black dial, luminous markers, and highly legible “Mercedes” hands came to define the dive watch category. Its reputation catapulted to icon status after Sean Connery slid a “Big Crown” onto his wrist in Dr. No. (Today, Rolex’s competitor, Omega, pays a fortune to be James Bond’s watch. Connery wore his simply because he liked it.) The mighty Sub continues to dominate the dive watch market.

OMEGA SEAMASTER

If the Submariner has a closest competitor, it’s the Seamaster from Omega. It comes in many variations with different bracelets, straps, and color configurations. It also has a display case back that shows off its movement. (Fun fact: Many Omega salesmen will emphasize that Rolex hides its movement behind a solid metal case back.) The Seamaster’s reputation got a boost when Jacques Cousteau and his team wore Omega dive watches during underwater explorations. Today, the Omega Seamaster holds a prominent place on the water as the official timekeeper of the America’s Cup.

PANERAI RADIOMIR

Leave it to the Italians to cook up one of the most colorful backstories in watchmaking. The Panerai Radiomir gained traction when it was developed for—and issued to— Italian naval special forces in the late 1930s. Frogmen were known to wear these oversized dive watches with brightly glowing dials as they rode small human torpedoes—called maiali—on high-risk, daring missions. Today, the Radiomir stands out as a hypermasculine yet surprisingly versatile watch that pairs rugged functionality with a slimmed-down case suitable for more formal occasions.

BLANCPAIN FIFTY FATHOMS

This timepiece lays claim to being the world’s first modern dive watch. Birthed in 1953, its unidirectional bezel—which allows divers to time their stay underwater, a crucial component of diving safety—was the first of its kind. The watch also has strong lume for good visibility underwater and an automatic movement. It was the first watch that could provide real-deal functionality underwater. As mentioned, Rolex debuted the Submariner shortly after the Fifty Fathoms came out and scaled its production and marketing punch much more efficiently. Thus, the Fifty Fathoms never achieved the cultural dominance of its competitor. But for many serious watch collectors, it eclipses the Submariner in nearly every other way.

AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE

The AP Royal Oak is one of the ultimate flex watches and thus goes hand in hand with owning a yacht. In English Civil War lore, the Royal Oak was the tree in which the future King Charles II hid following his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. He eventually escaped to France before returning to rule his home country. Afterward, many British Royal Navy ships were named HMS Royal Oak in honor of the king’s exploits. When Audemars Piguet introduced the watch in 1972, it took the same name as a nod to that nautical history. This piece created the luxury sports watch genre, where it continues to be a dominant force. In 1993, AP introduced the jumbo Offshore version, which was inspired by the high-adrenaline world of offshore powerboat racing. It was a big, bold watch for a demanding sport. While it had no direct tie to historic nautical events, sometimes with watches a strong marketing campaign is all you need for a runaway hit. ▪

Where heritage waters meet new horizons—expanding access, deepening connection, and redefining life on the Chesapeake Bay.

Set along one of the most storied stretches of American coastline, Annapolis, Maryland, has long served as a gateway to the Chesapeake Bay—a place defined as much by history and culture as by the water itself.

Fed by more than 150 major rivers and countless tributaries and stretching nearly 200 miles from the Susquehanna River to the Atlantic, the Bay is less a destination than a living system one that has sustained communities, defined livelihoods, and drawn generations to its shores.

With the addition of Safe Harbor Eastport Yacht Center and Safe Harbor Port Annapolis, presence in this iconic harbor deepens, offering even greater access to a place where every departure carries the promise of discovery.

At Safe Harbor Eastport Yacht Center, the experience begins at the edge of Eastport, where the Severn River meets Back Creek and the Bay opens just beyond. There’s an immediacy to the water here, a sense that you are already underway the moment you step aboard connected not just to Annapolis, but to a broader network of waterways that define life on the Chesapeake. Tucked within a neighborhood known for its maritime character, Eastport offers a more intimate connection to the harbor while placing the full expanse of the Bay within easy reach.

A short boat ride away, Safe Harbor Port Annapolis offers a natural launching point to the Bay it balances a sense of escape with effortless access, allowing Members and guests to move fluidly between time on the water and time ashore. Here, days unfold with intention, whether setting out toward the Eastern Shore or lingering a little longer before departure. It’s a place where the Chesapeake feels both expansive and entirely within reach, shaped by the understanding that the best experiences are often the ones that arrive without urgency. ▪

Caring for a marina or shipyard, much like tending a boat, requires equal parts devotion and responsibility. Building a successful marine operation is always a labor of love—something forged through thousands of customer relationships. Michel Ducros, founder of Monaco Marine in Monaco and the South of France, is a prime example of the passion required to succeed in the boat business. He embodies a deep appreciation for life on the water and a commitment to delivering the kind of service experience that keeps customers coming back for life.

Ducros, a serial entrepreneur, found his path to marine service—as is often the case— out of necessity. An avid cruiser and importer of Grand Banks Yachts, he owned a 49-footer he loved, but one that required more-than-regular maintenance. With waterfront access at a premium in the Mediterranean, he discovered how difficult it was to find a reliable yard. Conversations with fellow boaters revealed his frustration was not unique: Good help was hard to find.

“After listening to everyone complain, I thought I should provide good service to my Grand Banks clients,” explains Ducros. “I bought a small service yard in Nice, and that’s where I learned boat maintenance. I realized quickly that this business was not like others I had owned.”

With the help of excellent project managers and an unrelenting commitment to client relationships, that yard in Nice began to thrive. Ducros soon set out to grow his company into the nine-location Monaco Marine, which yacht owners and captains throughout the Mediterranean know today.

A marina and shipyard owner recounts what led him to entrust his beloved business to Safe Harbor.

“ Creating a company is like having a child. Seeing it grow and become part of a strong group makes me very proud.”
MICHEL DUCROS | FOUNDER OF MONACO MARINE

“I had to be very patient because it’s so hard to get waterfront real estate in the Med,” he says. “Growing the company was very difficult and painful. It can take 10 years from the time you shake hands to when you’re up and running.”

Now 77 and eager for new adventures outside the boat business, Ducros sought a buyer who would not only preserve what he built but also help it grow. He found that partner in Safe Harbor and CEO Baxter Underwood.

“Safe Harbor has very good management; Baxter Underwood understands people and businesses,” says Ducros. “Creating a company is like having a child. Seeing it grow and become part of a strong group makes me very proud. We have a very talented team, and they’re excited about the meaningful role they will play in enhancing and expanding this global network.”

Looking ahead, Ducros believes the synergy between the two brands will unlock new opportunities for expansion. “The brands are amazing,” he says. “I would love to see it leading in Italy, Spain—or why not Greece and the Adriatic? I hope in 10 years Safe Harbor can help double the size of the business.” ▪

The marina staff were wonderful as usual. This time we needed some fixes on the boat before leaving. The vessel service support from the team was phenomenal! We came in on Monday; assessments of what needed to be done were made on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. They arranged for the team to get everything done by Thursday! It worked out great, even getting a part ordered on Tuesday in California and ready for install Thursday morning. This is one of the best organized teams I’ve seen in my 20 years of boating!

For captains and crew, Safe Harbor has built something rare: a network where the next port feels as familiar as the last.

oming into an unknown port under the dark of night with only electronics and a VHF radio to lead the way can be daunting for any crew, whether they speak the native language or not—and every marina has its own protocol and processes.

That sort of accomplishment used to be hard-won. But that’s no longer true for superyacht crews tying up at Safe Harbor locations. A decade of steady change and expansion has transformed what was once a string of isolated marinas—each with its own standards and procedures—into something closer to a carefully woven and highly operational network. From the helm, that changes everything.

A captain running a 60-meter yacht out of the Northeast put it simply: “You don’t realize how much energy you’ve spent recalibrating until you don’t have to do that anymore.”

SAFE HARBOR WATER

He wasn’t talking about navigation alone. He was referring to the importance of people and processes at each marina listed on a float plan—and how they shape expectations for captains and crew. For the crew of a superyacht, fatigue can be familiar, particularly as the vessel arrives somewhere new and they spend time and energy figuring out how things work. Will the dock crew know how to manage the boat? Can the yard deliver what it promises?

For many superyacht crews, that type of recalibration has long been part of the job. But with the Safe Harbor network fully in stride, these adjustments are no longer necessary—even when traveling across long stretches of coastline and many nautical miles of ocean. In the past 10 years, Safe Harbor has expanded its portfolio of properties to cover the needs of yacht crews traveling the length of the Atlantic seaboard—from Newport, Rhode Island, to Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The network then extends into the Caribbean and reaches farther still into the Mediterranean, including Monaco and the South of France.

For a captain plotting a yearlong course that includes a New England summer, a Caribbean winter, and a Med season

in between, that alignment matters. It reduces uncertainty. And in a profession defined by managing risk, reducing uncertainty is everything.

Among its many superyacht facilities, Safe Harbor counts four active Foreign-Trade Zones in Newport, Savannah, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. Each is well-positioned to showcase, market, and sell foreignflagged vessels.

Safe Harbor’s value proposition doesn’t guarantee just a place to tie up. For the superyacht crowd, it means access to top-notch expertise at fullservice yards and marinas capable of hauling, refitting, provisioning, and hosting vessels at the very top end of the spectrum—with dry docking and lifting capacity for yachts from 130 to over 400 feet.

With that kind of support, superyachts become infinitely nimbler. A captain and crew managing a tight turnaround know they can make deadlines when traveling between marinas where proven systems are in place. In addition, owners can adjust their plans without leaving the crew feeling as if the entire structure might unravel.

What crews notice most, over time, is the consistency. The same greeting on arrival. The same assumption of excellence. The same understanding that a yacht is not just a vessel—it’s a floating ecosystem of expectations, schedules, and people. Dock and dockside service quality is reliable throughout the network, as are responsiveness and the hospitality of each marina’s support staff.

A chief engineer who recently oversaw a multi-yard refit captured it well: “It’s not that every marina is identical. It’s that they speak the same language. You’re not starting from zero each time.” That distinction—between sameness and coherence—is where the real value lives. Safe Harbor is, after all, home to the largest network of boatyards, technicians, and marine artisans in the world.

Safe Harbor Golfe de Saint-Tropez

For all its glamour, yachting still runs on logistics. Cruising between Safe Harbor locations smooths out much of the chaos, since crews don’t have to wonder what is waiting at the other end of a passage. The word crews use most when describing their experiences with Safe Harbor is ease—in the access, in the arrivals, in the way each destination feels connected to the next rather than isolated from it.

The addition of Mediterranean locations—particularly in the South of France and Monaco—extends that operational consistency into one of the busiest yachting regions in the world. For superyacht crews spending a summer in the Med, these marinas are the difference between a season that feels like a grind and one that feels, if not effortless, at least supported. Safe Harbor’s Caribbean presence, including a new outpost at Christophe Harbour in St. Kitts, and two in San Juan and Fajardo, Puerto Rico, creates a more coherent arc for seasonal migration.

Safe Harbor Monaco

What makes it all work is how these places function in relation to one another. A refit in one location informs an arrival at the next. A relationship built with a dockmaster in one port carries forward to the next. Familiarity accumulates over time and nautical miles, even as the scenery changes.

For superyacht crews, Safe Harbor is less about any single marina and more about the connective tissue between them.

None of this is accidental. It’s the result of deliberate assembly—facilities, teams, and cultures brought together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Safe Harbor understands that serving the superyacht segment isn’t simply about accommodating large vessels, but about supporting a complex, mobile ecosystem of people and expectations. And at every level—owner, captain, crew—the common thread is the same: a passion for being on the water. Not in the abstract, but in the lived, daily reality of moving through it.

That passion is what draws people into this world. Ease is what allows them to stay. ▪

These international cruising regions are consistently and unforgettably extraordinary.

ountless coastlines, rivers, bays, estuaries, archipelagos, and oceans provide an opportunity to take a cruise, wet a line, or head out to explore. But then, there are the classics, the handful of truly memorable regions around the world that seem as if they were designed, engineered, and built purely for the pleasure of boating.

We’re talking natural deepwater anchorages. Endless underwater reefs. Fish, lobster, dolphins, sharks, and whales in such abundance that it’s impossible to ignore the grand vastness of the ecosystem just below the water’s surface. The man-made attractions in these regions only add to the magic. Underwater wrecks that invite exploration. Boulangeries that waft the scent of fresh-baked loaves across the harbor at sunrise. Shops selling sarongs and flip-flops that make clear the office is many blissful miles away. Dock-and-dines and rum-punch bars that seem to have sprouted up as organically as flowers along white-sand beaches, often with the sounds of strumming guitars.

It’s not just that these cruising regions are amazing. It’s that they’re consistently amazing and yet original, with each one offering experiences that cannot be found anywhere else.

SAFE HARBOR WATER

There’s only one place on the planet where you can stroll down a marina dock, listen to the water lapping against the quay, feel the sun shining on your cheeks, and let your jaw drop as you crane your neck upward, arriving at a spot known as “Billionaires’ Row.”

It’s at Port Vauban in Antibes, France, on the French Riviera in the heart of the West Mediterranean—a destination within a destination, really, in a part of the world where superyacht spotting has been a favorite pastime for generations. From May through September, the most fantastic creations in the recreational-marine universe ply these waters, showing off their towering flybridge decks along with their limousine tenders. Superyachts converge here for events such as the Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival, which are always star-studded with red carpet parties and delectable creations of caviar and truffles. The sailing variety of the best-of-thebest yachts gather on the water for epic regattas like Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez and the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup off the coast of Sardinia, where the boats charge across the sea like thoroughbreds set free from the gate. Not a single pair of binoculars lays unused at any helm for miles around. There’s simply too much excitement out there to see.

The West Mediterranean covers Spain’s Balearic Islands to Italy’s west coast, including Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. The French Riviera lies smack-dab in the middle of this maritime paradise, with the combination of cultures on either side allowing boaters to create entire itineraries around food and wine. Head ashore to order black ink squid pasta with a glass of Rioja on Ibiza, followed by savory crepes with a fruity Burgundy in Nice, and homemade pasta with fresh mozzarella and a Super Tuscan blend off the coast of Naples. The bouquet of Sangiovese complements the fresh salt air in a perfect pairing.

The cheeses alone in this part of the world—Camembert, Brie, Parmesan, mozzarella—make for some of the best onboard cocktail parties anywhere. Add some Castelvetrano olives from Sicily, slices of fresh-baked focaccia, and a crema catalana for dessert, and you’ll be rolling yourself into your berth for a night of blissful dreams.

And all of that is before you even get to the world-class cruising, the vast majority of which is coastal or short hops between islands. Whether on a sailing catamaran or an express cruiser, boaters can follow the backdrop of scenery from colorful town to colorful town, with yellow, orange, and pink homes painting an artistic contrast against the azure waters, and beyond that, the green and brown hillsides.

There are plenty of forecasting services and fellow cruisers on the VHF radio to avoid weather snags, along with clearly marked charts for exploring new locales without running aground. Local harbormasters are a fount of information, as are the local fishermen who can predict a storm better than many satellites as they sit in their wooden boats, mending their nets to collect the next day’s catch. Take a stroll and chat them up. Oh, the secret spots they know.

It can feel like a christening of sorts, plunging off a swim platform into the warm aquamarine waters of the Northern Caribbean. The soothing balm hits your sun-kissed skin in a way that releases a level of calm the best spas in the world are forever striving to try and replicate. It’s a feeling of total immersion in nature, as if the Caribbean Sea is cradling every joint and muscle of the body. Some people just float. For hours. Because even after the most stressful weeks or months or years, this place can make a person feel almost reborn, ready to take on the world anew.

Several species of cruising yachts dominate the harbors in this region, with sailing and power catamarans on the prowl all around the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and larger motor yachts claiming the T-dock space in St. Maarten and St. Barths. And yet, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a bareboater or a professional captain: Everyone is aiming for the same kinds of experiences here. They’re the kinds of moments that often come with shirts and shoes as being totally optional.

Steel drums in the distance provide the musical backdrop to an afternoon of shell hunting on the beach or relaxing with a good book in the shade of a wide-frond palm tree or napping in a hammock whose strings feel impossibly weathered, and yet, somehow still secure. At the point in the early afternoon when the sun starts to move just past directly overhead, the street vendors come to life, adding the aroma of jerk chicken and curried goat to the smell of shrimp and lobster being prepared over open-flame grills. Conch fritters sizzle in oil. Savory plantains are crushed into a mash. And as if there wasn’t already enough rum in your glass, there’s always an offer of rum-soaked cake for dessert.

You’ll have worked up the appetite, for sure, after a day of being out on the water in this part of the world. Snorkeling. Scuba diving. Wakeboarding. Waterskiing. Kitesurfing. Foiling. Fishing. Kayaking. Paddleboarding. And don’t forget good, old-fashioned swimming, with the beaches beckoning for afternoon picnics and scavenger hunts with the kids. History teaches us that pirate’s treasure is hidden across these islands. There’s no better place to plant a map and let the fun ensue.

And then, of course, the beach bars hit their peak moment of jam, with reggae sing-alongs competing with the tall tales of ragtag skippers who become conspicuously chatty right around the time that two-for-one happy hour begins. Pull up a barstool and be regaled with tales of defeating the epic fury of the seas and the nagging demands of civilization. This is the stuff of which some of the best cruising stories are made.

The City of Fort Lauderdale boasts the nickname “Yachting Capital of the World,” and boy, is that title earned. All along the Southeast Florida coast and straight on down into the Florida Keys, this part of the Sunshine State is chockablock with boats of all kinds. And at one time or another, most of them end up in Fort Lauderdale, which alone has more than 100 marinas, boasts more than 100,000 boatingrelated jobs, and hosts one of the world’s biggest boat shows every year. Fort Lauderdale is a global epicenter of yachting within a regional mecca of cruising, a place with almost magnetic charm for those who like to be behind a wheel or simply watch a hull with a gorgeous sheer line cruise by on a local canal.

One of the best things about Southeast Florida is the wholesale renewal that’s possible here. Any kind of boat can get back to Bristol condition before hitting the water anew. The level of marine craftsmanship and expertise that exists in this part of the United States, in everything from systems integration to fiberglass repair to engine overhauls, is extraordinary.

True artisans mold and sculpt steel, aluminum, and fiberglass into perfect shapes for hull repair while interiordesign gurus choose fabrics and exotic woods that make being on board as much a tactile experience as a visual one. It can almost seem as if building the perfect boat is a goal that’s in the bloodstream in this part of Florida as much as breathing oxygen is.

And with good reason, because just off the docks lies a playground on the water that’s so packed with fun things to do, it’s hard to return to shore at the end of each day. Just south of Fort Lauderdale are Miami and Biscayne Bay, cultural juggernauts on their own of the wining, dining, and partying-till-dawn crowd. Raft-ups in this part of Southeast Florida can seem like whole-of-the-neighborhood events with shared food, lively music, and more water toys than any kid could ever imagine. Celebrations with fireworks over the water mesmerize people for miles around, with boaters anchoring up close for the most spectacular views. Christmas boat parades filled with lights, music, and crew in elfin costumes are a festive annual reminder that no matter the time of year, the boating community’s party is still going in this cruising region.

Beyond all of that, continuing south, are the Florida Keys—yet another special destination within this region, and easy to access from Fort Lauderdale and Miami alike. The Keys are all about great snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, sailing, and simply immersing yourself in the boating culture. Spend an afternoon meandering up and down Duval Street in Key West, and you’ll meet skippers who don’t own a suit or tie. Or who are just back from a trip to St. Somewhere and happy to give you the lowdown on the tidal swings. Or who can recite the works of Ernest Hemingway from memory, just for fun.

And remember, even here in the Keys, you’re only a couple hundred miles away from Fort Lauderdale. Southeast Florida is like that: All the best kinds of boating, all just a short jaunt from home base.

Three miles. That’s the distance the guttural roar of a 15-pound howler monkey can travel. It rumbles through the screeches and howls of the rainforests like the call of a lion, and then ultimately meets its match in the open expanse of the ocean where the deafening sound blends with the whoosh of the surf coming to crash ashore.

It’s nature’s own surround sound, reminding you that you’re on their turf, not ours. This is a long way from tourist-filled restaurants and shopping hubs. Costa Rica is where boaters go to commune with the elements on a whole other level of reality.

Wild doesn’t even begin to describe how it feels to be in this region of Central America, which has long been a lure for top sportfishermen from all around the world. Frame a mental picture of your most stunning nature walk mixed with your most memorable wildlife encounter and the most remote patch of water you’ve ever been on in a boat and then multiply by at least 100. That’s how it feels to be in the waters off Costa Rica, especially on the Pacific side, where the best seat in the house is in a convertible boat’s cockpit fighting chair with your arms aching and your spirit trying to will an enormous fish back to the boat after hours of a hard-charging fight.

Trolling, popping, fly-fishing, jigging, live-baiting, bottom fishing—it’s all going on in Costa Rica, as anglers hunt for the biggest battles they can find against marlin, sailfish, mahimahi, tuna, and more.

December through April is the peak fishing season for billfish, with the rainy season from May through November offering far less boat congestion at the docks and in the prime fishing spots. In fact, many world-class fishermen prefer the rainy season in Costa Rica, since migratory blue marlin are often moving through local waters with far less competition.

That is not to say that Costa Rica doesn’t offer its fair share of onshore amenities for boaters who want to mix on-water adventure with shoreside hot tubs and spas. Luxury resorts have popped up along Costa Rica’s Papagayo Gulf, bringing five-star dining and golf to the land of towering waterfalls.

Indeed, there’s a real infrastructure here from which a truly amazing itinerary can be launched, especially on a boat that’s kitted out for fishing. And this is one of the best places in the world to land a billfish grand slam: catching at least three different species of billfish in a single day.

Newport. Nantucket. Martha’s Vineyard. Portland. Bar Harbor. All the way from Rhode Island straight up the coast into Maine, this region absolutely emanates a richness of maritime history and culture that makes boating here an experience unlike any other.

Simply stepping onto a street in a place like Portland, Maine, is taking a step back in time to the days when the cobblestones came across the Atlantic Ocean as ballast in the holds of great ships, to help stabilize them at sea. Today, many of the waterfront shops that kept those classic wooden fleets in business are rebuilt as eateries and shopping hubs, all with the historical charm preserved in the floorboards, walls, and bar tops.

Walking the docks in Newport, Rhode Island, means following in the footsteps of America’s Cup legends, in clear view of the harbor where they tacked and jibed and battled their way to immortality aboard powerful J Class sailing yachts. Off in the distance across the bay, the New York Yacht Club’s waterfront lawn stands ready to welcome members for cocktails and canapés at sunset, with simple but elegant Adirondack chairs always at the ready with the best views.

The smell of clams, lobsters, and mussels baking on the beaches in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, is the smell of summer itself, with butter dripping off corn on the cob and the juice of fresh lemons bringing bright joy with every squeeze. Sticky fingers and full bellies are the prize after a day of playing in the surf with snorkeling fins and fishing poles, working up the kind of appetite that ultimately satiates the soul as much as the stomach.

And the historical treasures—oh, the treasures that maritime museums in this part of the world hold, from Mystic, Connecticut, to Bristol, Rhode Island, to New Bedford, Massachusetts, to Penobscot Bay in Maine. Entire 19th-century seafaring villages are recreated, inviting you to experience what the life in a shoreside boating community was like back then. Historical giants like Nathanael Herreshoff and Olin Stephens come to life in presentations of the yachts they designed, helping to lay the basis for the great-performing boats we all cruise on today. Replica ships allow you to squeeze your modern-size body inside and imagine how much harder it was to cross oceans before the invention of stabilizers, air conditioning, and king-size berths.

Cruising along the coastline in New England brings experiences that simply don’t appear in most other parts of the world, with the occasional classic launch zipping by in all its varnished mahogany glory, its chrome and stainless-steel deck hardware gleaming in the bright sunshine. Mansions built for business titans with legendary names like Vanderbilt and Rockefeller still dominate parts of the coastline and, sometimes, entire islands, standing like sentries from a century ago and the era of The Great Gatsby. You can stand on the deck of a modern boat, take a deep breath, and almost taste the champagne flowing as you prepare to head in toward the marina for the night, with many more days like this on the horizon for years to come. ▪
