Meet the Owners
Marquis Charter's owners are a lifelong boating family with yachting experience that ranges from Sunfish Sailboats to 100ft Luxury Yachts. After chartering for a couple of decades in the Virgin Islands, and owning a private motor yacht there, they found their 65 Marquis in Sausalito. They bought the company that owned her, renamed her "Ciamar" and launched Marquis Charters exclusively to manage charters of the region's highest end luxury vessels. Ciamar led a 10-boat flotilla to Alaska, returning to the San Francisco Bay in October 2022. Marquis Charters turned on online booking at that time and has since added a three more luxury yachts ( 93ft Westport, 65ft Stephens, 96ft Ted Geary) to offer clients a broad range of choices of elegance, speed and capacity. These yachts are excellent choices for experiencing the Marquis Life and represent the pinnacle of luxury crewed experiences in the region. We are now in search of a luxury sailing yacht and a sport yacht to round out our portfolio in 2025.
