Yacht Management
I'm Captain Olivier — born and raised on the water in the South of France, now based in South Florida. After decades behind the helm on everything from classic small fishing boat to modern motor yachts, I built Grand Bleu Yachts to offer owners the kind of personal, hands-on care I'd want for my own vessel.
Your Yacht, My Priority
I don't just manage yachts from behind a desk. I'm the one checking your oil, monitoring your coolant levels, updating your chartplotters, and making sure every system is running right. When something needs attention, I catch it early — before it becomes a problem.
Whether you're aboard every weekend or visit once a season, your boat will always be ready to go.

Cleaning & Detailing
I schedule and oversee every detail of your yacht's cleaning — inside and out. From regular wash-downs to deep interior scrubs, I make sure she always looks her best. No cutting corners, no missed spots.
Exterior
- Full hull wash and oxidation removal
- Ceramic coating and wax protection

Interior
- Cabin deep cleaning and sanitization

- Window and glass treatment
I work with trusted detailing professionals and coordinate everything on a schedule that fits your needs — weekly, biweekly, or before every trip. You just show up and enjoy.
Ceramic Coating
Protect your investment with professional-grade ceramic coating. I coordinate full ceramic applications that shield your yacht's gel coat, paint, and surfaces from the harsh South Florida sun, salt spray, and everyday wear. It's the best long-term protection you can give your boat.
Why Ceramic Coating?
- UV protection against sun damage and oxidation
- Hydrophobic barrier that repels water and salt
- Easier cleaning — dirt and grime slide right off
- Long-lasting shine without constant waxing
- Preserves gel coat and paint finish for years
What's Included
- Full surface prep — wash, clay bar, and polish
- Multi-layer ceramic coating application
- Hull, topsides, and hard surfaces
- Stainless steel and metal trim protection
- Post-application inspection and cure time management
I work with certified ceramic coating specialists and oversee the entire process from prep to finish. Your yacht comes out looking showroom-new — and stays that way.
East Coast Delivery
Need your yacht moved? I personally captain deliveries along the entire East Coast — from South Florida up to New York, Connecticut, the Great Lakes, and even Michigan. Whether you're heading north for the summer or bringing her back down to Florida for the winter, I handle the trip myself so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Every delivery includes full pre-departure inspections, weather routing, and regular updates along the way. Your boat arrives safe, on time, and in the same condition she left.
Why Work With Me
I treat every vessel like it's my own. I take the time to understand what you need, how you use your boat, and what matters most to you. No corporate runaround, no hidden fees — just straightforward, reliable service from someone who genuinely loves this work.
My background — from the Mediterranean to the ICW, the Bahamas, the Keys, and up the East Coast — has given me the experience to keep your vessel in top shape, wherever she's docked.
