This Is Our Story
Our family embarked on the adventure of a lifetime in 1995 with the purchase of our first tugboat "Sea Fox". Our children became adults on this first vessel while we painstakingly converted her to a yacht. After many years of labor she was sold to be used as a private yacht and underwent even more luxury retrofits. Now on our third tugboat renovation, "Red Cloud" we have found Goldilocks perfect porridge and are ready to share the comfort of her Salon with you.
