Captain-owned yacht services built on real-world experience, technical expertise, and a passion for closing the gap between owners, crew, and the marine industry.
Founder & Lead Consultant
USCG-Licensed Master
Freelance Marine Group was founded on a simple principle: yacht owners, family offices, and captains deserve an independent, experienced professional they can trust to oversee their yacht programs from build to bluewater.
Led by Captain Rex, a USCG-licensed Master with extensive experience across private sportfishing, charter, and superyacht programs, Freelance Marine Group provides the single point of contact that closes the gap between owners, crew, shipyards, brokers, and insurers.
With hands-on experience in yacht deliveries, new-build oversight, management, and crew training throughout the US, Bahamas, and Caribbean, Captain Rex brings a captain's perspective to every engagement — ensuring technical competence, clear communication, and owner-side accountability at every stage.
Whether you're building a new superyacht, repositioning for the season, managing maintenance programs, or training your crew, Freelance Marine Group delivers professional services with the integrity and expertise you'd expect from a working captain who treats your vessel as if it were his own.

How we work with owners, captains, and industry professionals to deliver exceptional yacht program support.
We work for you — not the shipyard, not the crew, not the broker. Our oversight is independent and focused on protecting your interests, ensuring transparency, and verifying that what you're paying for matches what's being delivered. You get a captain's technical eye combined with owner-side accountability.
From deliveries to builds, management to training — one trusted captain handles coordination across all aspects of your yacht program. No juggling multiple consultants or wondering who's accountable. We simplify the complexity and give you one consistent voice with technical competence and operational experience.
We translate technical jargon into plain language so you understand exactly what's happening with your yacht. Detailed documentation, regular updates, and accessible explanations mean you're always informed and empowered to make confident decisions — not left in the dark wondering what the yard or crew really meant.
Our recommendations are based on how yachts actually operate, not theoretical ideals. We've been in the engine room at 2 AM troubleshooting systems. We've navigated weather windows and dealt with last-minute crew changes. We understand real-world challenges and provide solutions that work in practice, not just on paper.
We're not here for a quick transaction — we're building lasting relationships with owners and captains who value expertise, integrity, and follow-through. Whether it's a single delivery or ongoing program support spanning years, we're committed to being a trusted resource you can rely on as your yacht program evolves.
