ONBOARD ESSENTIALS

Pure originality. A gift collection for the individual who has it all and values distinction above all else.

The Bahamas · Seasonal Navigation

Crossing Ahead of Everyone

October and November open a window few boaters use: water still warm, anchorages nearly empty and the islands before high season. Crossing from Florida is viable, as long as you honor two rules the sea does not negotiate.

REAL ESTATE. PRIVATE ISLANDS

The Considered Island

An honest map of what it actually means to buy a private island in the Bahamas or the wider Caribbean, written for the buyer who already has the means and now needs the method.

ONBOARD LIVING · LIFESTYLE

A Day Measured by Water

There is a particular rhythm to a day spent aboard at anchor, set not by the clock but by the light, the tide and the temperature of the water. An hour-by-hour account of how that day actually unfolds.

REGULATION

What the Law Actually Asks of You

Federal authority, state enforcement, and the small set of documents and habits that keep a day on the water clean. A working guide to the rules every recreational boater in the United States operates under, whether or not the badge ever appears.

MUSHA CAY. BAHAMAS

An Archipelago Drawn for One Guest

Eighty-five miles southeast of Nassau, a magician built the closest thing the modern Caribbean has to a private kingdom — eleven cays, forty beaches, and a guest list that can only ever hold one name at a time.

Bahamas · Itinerary

Fourteen Days, One Sea

A two‑week cruising itinerary for the Bahamas — from the first crossing out of South Florida to the pink sands of Eleuthera, traced through five archipelagos that begin where the urban edge ends.

ONBOARD · CONNECTIVITY

The Connected Boat

A modern helm glows like a cockpit, and a satellite dish on the hardtop now does what a marina phone once did. The boat has quietly become the most connected room its owner has.

SERVICES · MARINAS

Choosing a Home Marina

After the boat itself, the berth you keep it in shapes everything: how often you use it, what it costs to own, and whether ownership feels like freedom or a chore. A working guide to the most consequential decision most owners make twice.

DESTINATIONS · CRUISING GUIDE

First Crossing to the Bahamas

Fifty miles of open water separate South Florida from Bimini, the closest landfall in an archipelago of seven hundred islands. For the first-time captain, the crossing is short — and entirely unlike anything on the inside of the coastline.

AN 110‑FOOT CARBON‑BUILT HYBRID

Wallywind 110. A High Performance Cruiser That Defies Its Own Nature

Wally's first semi‑custom sailing yacht under Ferretti Group is a study in resolved contradiction — a 33.42‑metre flush‑deck cruiser engineered with the temperament of a racer, and the discipline to behave as both.

Crew & Operations · Chapter 7

Building your Crew

Who you actually need, what they must hold in their licenses, what they earn, and where you find them — a working guide to assembling a professional crew, written for the Fort Lauderdale market and the boats that move through it.

Cruising Logbook · Twelve Days at Sea

The long way around the Bahamas

A circular route from Miami through Bimini, Eleuthera, the Exumas and the Berry Islands — and the case, told quietly, for never crossing direct.
