While some of you may come to the club with a long history of boating, the club is open to all even if you have never driven a boat before.
Our Crew
One of our founders had never driven a boat before the club, the other is a life long captain of super yachts who knows all there is to know when it comes to boats. Together their experiences have shaped the club into a place where those new to boating get all the help they need to obtain their licence (a legal requirement to use the club boats) and feel completely confident taking their friends and family out for fun days on the water.
Travis
Travis is a serial entrepreneur with a number of online businesses. Travis got into boating through a Balearics based club and fell in love with being on the water. Having lived on the Riviera for 15 years he wanted to replicate the concept locally… the rest is history.
Jason
A career seafarer with over 200,000 nautical miles logged (super-yachts up to 3000 tonnes). Saddened by the thousands of seldom used boats dying in all marinas worldwide, Jason ensures club members boating experience are as hassle free as possible.
Orencie
Orencie operates a Riviera based concierge company and makes sure that all of our members are well taken care of and have everything they need to have an enjoyable day out.
Jenn
Originally a restauranteur from Manhattan’s famous Madison Avenue, Jennifer moved to St Maarten before embarking on a new direction as Superyacht chef. She now owns and operates the world’s foremost Superyacht Crew accommodation services.
What does the training involve?
To use the club boats you need to hold either the English RYA Power Boat level 2 or the French ‘Cotier’ qualification. To obtain either of these qualifications you have to sit a 2 or 3 day course with a local training centre. We have excellent relationships with these centres and can help organise your course and even give you some pointers on board before you start and then once you are qualified we can offer more assistance with anything you still feel uncertain about.
In short, with club membership comes all the help you need to feel 100% happy on the water in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment where you can learn at your own pace.
The courses train you in low speed manoeuvrers in port, man overboard, the ‘rules of the road’ (ie who gives way to who when at sea) and other emergency procedures
