OCEAN ROSE Privatyacht

Jerry was born in Miami, FL and raised in the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale. Being fortunate to have grown up in a family that was highly involved in boating, he was exposed to the water from a very young age. At the age of 9, he was fishing in Bimini on a 54’ Rybovich, which led to involvement in competitive fishing tournaments. He very quickly fell in love with the lifestyle and knew that it was what he wanted to spend his life doing. His family spent most of their summers fishing and traveling the islands of the Bahamas.

Jerry attended Florida State University, where he obtained a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance and Real Estate. He was also a member of the Track and Field team during his years in Tallahassee.

After graduation from college, Jerry returned to South Florida to pursue a career in the yachting industry. Using the skills learned throughout his lifetime, he obtained his first Captain’s position on a sportfish which allowed him to continue his passion for fishing, diving and the outdoors. Jerry expanded his experience as a captain, running multiple yachts throughout his tenure.

Jerry’s enjoyment of showing guests new places and experiences has allowed him to excel at his job as a maritime professional. Outside of boating and fishing, he is an avid hunter, golfer and outdoorsman.
