The “Hei Matau” also known as a Tahitian fishhook is a talisman, that has brought and brings mariners the world over good luck while journing at sea.  Watermen Marine, Inc. has chosen this symbol to help us navigate the direction, for our management of our clients marine assets.  

Our professional marine services:

• Yacht Management
• Vessel Project Management
• Captain & Training Services
• Maritime Consulting

25+ years of maritime industry experience working with yacht manufactures, yacht brokerages, dealerships, OEM’s, ship yards and vessel owners.

We are all living our lives on a ship we call Earth.  Viewing this vessel from space is the only way most of us can see that over 70% of this ship is covered in water.  It is know wonder that we feel drawn to the sea, and the lifestyle that comes with it.  I have been lucky enough to have spent my entire career as a Master Mariner, and marine industry professional experiencing the life style that comes with a life on the sea.  Growing up in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, I grew a passion for the waterman lifestyle.  Since those early years of running around in a skiff, fishing, snorkeling, and spending time on the waters of South Florida, I have had the opportunity to explore the Worlds Oceans.  The Ocean is a great teacher, lessons that most of the time awe inspiring, with the occasional lessons that can be unforgiving.  Over my 25 years and more than 5000 days logged at sea, I was given the gift of mentorship from marine professionals all over the world.  The only way I can say “Thank You” to them, for their guidance, is for me to pass it on.  My intention with Watermen Marine, Inc. is to provide a maritime professional approach to yacht & project management, yacht delivery, captain services and marine consulting expertise.

Watermen Marine, Inc. is about delivering the life-style experience you envisioned with yacht ownership.  We are here to assist in creating the “Dream” by creating a care-free boating experience.  Let our marine experience, professionally guide and manage your yachting life-style. May you all have fair winds and following seas.         -Tripper

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should a life rest on a single hope.        –Epictetus-
