🩵A fresh headshot can help make a first impression. A strong industry community helps build what comes after it.

Thank you to Seahaven Superyacht Marina and Suntex Marinas for bringing YPY members together ahead of boat show season. Sabrina, Bayley and Brendan welcomed us for an evening of new connections, marina tours, and conversations about what’s next for our industry.

We’re especially grateful to Bert Fowles, VP of Brand and Marketing at Suntex Marinas, for continuing to champion YPY. Suntex supports us year-round through Las Olas Marina’s Silver sponsorship, and opening the doors at Seahaven gave our members another place to connect and grow. That continued partnership and investment in the next generation of marine industry leaders means so much to our membership.

We look forward to the next one !

📸 SNEAK PEEK!

YPY’s September Meeting was picture perfect.

Not only was Seahaven Superyacht Marina the quintessential backdrop for a fresh set of headshots thanks to Event photographer / Marc-Anthony, but members were able to mingle with and connect with marina staff and crew, take marina tours to discover the highlights of what Seahaven has to offer, and have some fun enjoying the crew lounge amenities and games.

Thank you to everyone at Seahaven for the warm welcome, refreshments and light bites✨

Members can expect to receive their headshots via email by the end of this week.
