About the Owners

Paul and Maria have spent more than 40 years together, with decades of boating experience throughout the Caribbean, East Coast, and Bahamas. Over the years, they have owned and operated several vessels ranging from 54’ to 95’, developing extensive knowledge of navigation, cruising, and classic yacht ownership.

Marlonna, their 80’ Hatteras motor yacht, reflects their appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, thoughtful upgrades, and comfortable time spent on the water with family and friends.

About Maria

Maria is a retired M.D. who enjoys cooking—especially fresh and healthy dishes—along with reading, ballroom dancing, and time with her five grandchildren. She brings a warm and welcoming presence to the boat and enjoys the relaxation and creativity that come with time spent cruising.

About Paul

Paul is a retired businessman and lifelong boater. He has captained five of his own vessels and logged thousands of miles across the Caribbean and surrounding waters. He has a deep interest in seamanship, classic yacht systems, and the navigation skills that come with years of experience on the water.

Together, Paul and Maria appreciate the adventure, connection, and shared experiences that boating brings to their family.
