Oceanic Yacht Management – Our Story
Before there was Oceanic Yacht Management there was a man; a man called Eric Pearce, my father. Eric absolutely lived for adventure and particularly life on the open water; he worked on cruise ships, fishing boats, cargo ships and a whole host of other sea faring vessels before becoming a certified captain himself.
Eric founded Blue Water Yacht Company in 1978 and quickly developed a first class reputation for yacht and boating maintenance services. He developed “Emergency Blu” which organized all safety and communication aids in one place and by the time the mid-80s arrived he was helping yacht owners to recruit, check and verify their nautical staff.
In 1987 Eric purchased his first yacht and began to use it on a chartered basis. Due to his superb reputation he was able to quickly access some of the world’s premier charter vessels and act as a broker for these services. By the early to mid-90s Eric began to build yachts and used his vast experience to recruit the finest designers and contractors; he oversaw the projects himself and expertly matched each vessel to his clients’ exacting requirements. By now Eric was offering his clients something truly unique born out of his passion, skill and commitment to his work.
As the Millennium came and went Eric was still ahead of the curve and developing innovative services for his appreciative clients. He was at the forefront of the development of the yacht project manager; a role which offered clients a full, personalized service; a true one stop shop for yacht owners. It was this innovative service which inspired Oceanic Yacht Management.
Fast forward to today and you can see where my passion has come from; I’ve been on the water since the age of four, firstly with my father and now as Captain and owner of Oceanic Yacht Management.
My aim is to continue the great work of my father and provide a truly client focused yacht management service to our Florida based customers.
