A Family-Owned Charter with a French Touch

Authentic Hospitality & Local Expertise on Fort Lauderdale's Waterways

Marlène and her husband first discovered their passion for boating while exploring the coast of Corsica. In October 2024, they relocated to Fort Lauderdale with their family and their dog to bring that love for the water to South Florida.

Today, Marlène combines her French background and warm hospitality with the vibrant charm of the local waterways. Working alongside a close-knit crew of experienced local captains, she takes pride in sharing her favorite spots with visitors.

For Marlène and her team, every day out on the water is a shared adventure where guests are always treated like family.
