About us

Test Your Mates

Like water off a duck’s backAside from a few downed signs and such, there

was no damage to megayachts or exhibitors’ booths at the Yacht & Brokerage Show as a result of Friday night’s squall. There should be no more rain through the end of the show, but the cold temps will remain so stay warm. Or cuddle up

with your Valentine. You did remember today is Valentine’s Day, didn’t you?

Network tonight with the crew from The Triton

The Triton is hosting a networking event tonight from 6-8 p.m. at the U.S. Superyacht booth on ramp 14. We’ll gather for casual networking and camaraderie. All yacht crew and business folks are welcome to join us and enjoy food, drink and music. No need to RSVP. Just bring business cards and your Valentine (or find one there).

Megayacht carries bright yellow float plane on deck

With retractable wings, a float plane fits on the sundeck of the 92-foot Argos series of megayachts by Tricon Marine. (The builder’s 100-foot model will be able to handle a

helicopter.) The yacht’s davit isn’t big enough to move the plane, so an external crane is

required. See it on Collins between ramps 13/14.

CHECKING THE TIDE: Triton Today’s Question of the Day:

Deckhand Dallas Agius M/Y Vita

“Yes, what’s her name? There is more than one, but they know that. One is in the industry.”

Mate Matt WardM/Y America

“Yes, I do. She works on a boat in the Caribbean, not mine unfortunately. I never meet girls in bars but I met her at Lady C’s in St. Maarten.”

Stew Tiem TranM/Y Fighting Irish

“I do not want to work with someone I’m dating. To live and work with someone, it’s just too much. You have to leave the dock sometime.”

Chief Stew Eleasha BaileyM/Y Dorothy Ann

Bailey does not have a Valentine. “Those are the best Valentine’s Days. There are no expectations.”

Eng. Harry OlivierM/Y Monte Carlo

“No, but I am looking. I prefer one in the industry, otherwise it won’t work.”

Mate Greg EllerM/Y Lucky Seven

“Not this year, but she should definitely be in the business. I had one on the same boat once; it worked great.”

Capt. Mitch BradleyM/Y Troutopia

“My wife is the stew/chef. I had to lay her off when we downsized, but she’s at culinary school. We met in the U.S. Coast Guard and have been married 21 years.”

Stew Rebecca LaurenM/Y Fighting Irish

Her Valentine works on a different boat, and was delivering supplies to Haiti during the show. “It’s tough. It would be nice if we could work together.”

Mate Ken SuddickM/Y Francine

“Yes, we’re married and now she’s in Michigan. I work two weeks on, two weeks off. But when I work as delivery captain she works with me.”

Stew Kristy RoyleM/Y INXS

“It’s awesome,” Royle said of her Valentine, Mate Luke Fleming. “It doesn’t really feel like we’re together when we are working. It’s not until we’re off that we’re a couple. I know some out there don’t like to hire couples because they’re afraid they’ll encounter problems, but I can’t see that happening with us.”

First Mate Rosco BarnesM/Y Muchos Mas

“No, I’ve no plans at all for Valentine’s Day. I’m just trying to get through the boat show.”

Chief Stew Callie MonaghanM/Y Muchos Mas

“I have four special someones. I call them my crew.”

Mate Stew Cameron ChumleyM/Y Casa Blanca

“You can’t stay mad, that’s the key.”

Capt. Chris ChumleyM/Y Casa Blanca

“No matter how big the boat is, if things aren’t going well, it’s the smallest boat you’ve ever seen.”

Stew Lisa HinesM/Y Hope

“It’s actually better than I imagined,” Hines said of her relationship with Capt. Peter “Mitch” Mitchell. “When we first came aboard, I was nervous, but it’s worked out good. The owner wanted the feel of a family. I really wish they weren’t selling the boat.”

Capt. Andrew “Hutch” HutchinsM/Y Khaki Blue

“We’ve been together three years,” Hutch said of his relationship with Chef/Stew Nina Viola. “That’s like 15 years in boat life.”
