About Us

Team

Derek Norton, Founder

Derek was in and around boats from the earliest age racing E-scows and Etchells with his parents. From his first job at North Sails and up through the ranks there, to top level racing and superyacht skipper/project manager, a love for the ocean and maritime endeavors grew.

A brief time away for undergraduate studies and an MBA in Europe segmented a long career as a captain and crew on fine vessels around the world. This left a desire to never be far from the ocean and to make his living upon it.
