Florida - Yachting Capital of the world
Florida, West Palm, Miami Beach & our Favorite Captains
Florida has over 1,500 miles of coastline and over 3,000 inland waterways, providing saltwater and freshwater recreation opportunities like kayaking, canoeing, sailing, etc. It's no surprise that it's the boating capital of the world.
Palm Beachers Wear It Well
Palm Beach isn't just a location, it's a lifestyle, a symbol of refined living, full of fashion statements, fashion plates, and fashionable stores and locations. From the northeast-inflected casual preppy mode – perfect for a nautical day at the Town’s super yacht Marina – to a more tropical beachside floral approach, Palm Beach’s taste is eclectic and forward, but also classic and timeless.
Captain Kelly Gordon: A beacon of leadership
Captain Kelly Gordon is a seasoned professional who not only navigates the waters but also guides the next generation of boating enthusiasts. As a superyacht role model, mentor, and educator, Captain Kelly runs a fleet of three different vessels that call the Palm Beach Marina home. “We’re not just captains, boat handlers, or navigators – we are leaders of a team,” said Kelly. “I love being based here, it’s awesome, from the way the docks are built, to the service, to the width of the slips. The Town of Palm Beach Marina is beautiful, with all its great amenities, but really what makes it so special are the people.”
St Francis Bay, on the other side of the pond
Sun, fun and exceptional sailing
On the second furthest point of Southern Africa, this quaint little harbour town has a lot to offer
St Francis Bay is the playground of dolphins, whales and the wealthy, the bay magnificent with a white sandy St Francis Bay beach that offers some of the safest bathing on the coast and some fine opportunities to fish on the rocks. Surfers flock here, as they do to most of this part of the coast, for its waves; and the fabulous beaches are surrounded by nature reserves, making them alive with the calls of birds and an incredible escape from the city lifestyle that ensnares most of us.
