Hey all! A little bit about me, I grew up in Maine working on commercial fishing vessels until I finally packed up and moved to the sunny south. I worked as a towing and salvage captain which has brought me all over South Florida waters, West coast of Florida and all around the Bahamas. I currently hold a 100 ton masters captain license and have been with the yacht for over a decade. I absolutely love scuba diving and anything that keeps me outdoors!

I'm a local native from South Florida. I hold a master 100 ton license with a flawless record for over 40 years. I also had a career with Broward County as a FireBoat Captains, a relief Captain for Port Everglades Pilots Association, a tow boat captain, rescue boat trainer for Resolve Maritime Academy, U.S.C.G Auxiliary, and now relaxing with private yachts and charters. I'm an avid water buff that still includes diving and fishing. I have entertained 1,000's of guests to make their charters most memorable in the last 20 years! I love collectable cars and have had too many boats to count myself.

Grew up in Ft. Lauderdale ,experience captaining vessels in the US from CT to TX, and foreign waters from the Bahamas to the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. USCG 200 ton master credential.




Hi everyone, I'm Lara Bracci, a full-time Marine Biologist for the State of Florida, working to help manage and protect Florida's coral reefs. I'm originally from Connecticut, where I became a rescue certified scuba diver, and realized warmer water and better visibility were a must, so I made the move to Florida in 2018. I bring over 14 years of hospitality experience and about 12 years working aboard boats and research vessels. As a yacht stewardess I'm dedicated to creating a fun, enjoyable atmosphere and take pride in delivering a high-class, stress-free charter experience!
