Yacht Management Professionals was born from frustration; the frustration that yacht owners felt when dealing with unreliable service providers who didn’t communicate, didn’t deliver on promises, and didn’t treat yachts with the respect they deserved.
The complaints were consistent: ‘They never call back.’ ‘The work wasn’t done right.’ ‘I had to follow up constantly.’ Yacht owners were tired of chasing down service providers and settling for mediocre results.
Grif Blackstone decided to create a company that would do things differently. Yacht Management Professionals was founded on the principle that yacht owners deserve better; they deserve professionals who communicate clearly, deliver what they promise, and treat every yacht with the care it deserves.
After years in the marine industry, founder Grif Blackstone saw a pattern: yacht owners weren’t getting the professional service they paid for. Unreturned calls, missed appointments, and careless work had become the norm. It was time to set a new standard.
