I’m a happy, fun, and easy going captain who genuinely loves giving guests an unforgettable time on the water. Whether we’re cruising, exploring, or just soaking it all in, my goal is simple and that is to make sure everyone feels relaxed, safe, and has a great experience from start to finish. I’ve been captaining yachts since 2020 bringing boats all around the country but mostly working between Florida and the Bahamas. Before that I spent 7 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, leading search and rescue missions. Safety is second nature to me but I keep things light, enjoyable, and stress free onboard. I am a surfer and free diver and used to live on Maui. I have molded my life around the ocean and also love traveling and backpacking

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.

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!
I’m originally from Alabama and bring genuine Southern hospitality and a super sweet Southern-girl charm to every charter. I’m outgoing, warm, and love connecting with guests, making everyone onboard feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly special. I’m known for my kind heart, positive energy, and strong work ethic, and I take pride in being a hard worker who pays special attention to every detail to ensure seamless, high-quality service. I am passionate about creating memorable experiences through attentive care and thoughtful personal touches.

I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, where my love for the ocean naturally led me into the yachting industry. I bring over five years of hospitality experience as a server and bartender, along with more than ten years of nannying experience. With a strong foundation in service and childcare, I pride myself on creating a welcoming, high-end, and stress-free charter experience. I am detail-oriented and consistently leave vessels spotless, maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and presentation. My hospitality background allows me to anticipate guest needs effortlessly while creating an atmosphere where guests feel completely at home.
I’ve built my life around the ocean and love sharing that with others. Originally from New England, I recently moved here from Maui, where I worked as a firefighter, boat captain, and scuba instructor. Boating, surfing, travel, and life on the water have shaped a lot of who I am. I try to bring an aloha spirit to every charter and want guests to feel relaxed, welcome, and comfortable from the moment they step onboard. Whether you’re looking to unwind, explore, or just enjoy a great day on the water, my goal is to help make it fun, easy, and memorable.

I am an experienced Stewardess and Deckhand with over 6+ years inside and out experience making me a well rounded crew member for any charter.

When not on the water I enjoy diving, swiming, running and relaxing in a great hammock near the water between two palm trees.
