How do you decide which ten individuals in the world of offshore fishing are the most influential? We asked 45 high-profile and knowledgeable anglers, captains, outdoor writers, fishing-industry leaders, and conservationists, who offered up more than 100 candidates.

Thank God For Spinach!

Some weeks ago I was testing boats in Merry Ol’ England, where the weather was wintry, at least by comparison with the steaminess of the Florida home from which I’d just departed. Cold weather is, of course, a perfect complement to hearty fare. So it wasn’t surprising that late

Ahoy: Dr. Freud

If you’re a careful reader of PMY (and I’m sure you are), then you’ve probably perused a recent boat test of mine (“Cost Effective,” May 2009) that dwelled in part upon the difficulties I had returning a 50-footer to her slip after a sea trial during the Miami International Boat Show. The episode did not constitute a true horror show by any means, but the events were embarrassing enough. Sure, my

A Riviera Runabout

An offshoot of the Rodriquez Shipyard, which was founded in 1887, Morgan Yachts has been building Italian versions of classic U.S. workboats since 1991. Traditionally, downeast-style and commuter-inspired vessels over 45 feet have been the company’s mainstay, but now it’s venturing down to the 30-foot range. The 33 Dinghy (an oxymoron for most of us) is

Life After Life

One of the most unusual final resting places in the world is coming more alive every day. The Neptune Memorial Reef, about three miles off Key Biscayne, Florida, is not only attracting a greater variety of marine life, it is also bringing in a bevy of scuba divers and underwater photographers.The one-of-a-kind cemetery lies in 45 feet of water and includes benches, gates, and sculptures,

For Jason Taylor, a former chef on the 120-foot Orinokia, life is a constant blend of tastes and cuisines. This bilingual, New England native headed to St. Maarten to see the sights and wound up working as a chef aboard superyachts like this Benetti and catering private parties all around the island. He finally wound up competing in the Caribbean Concours de Chef Competition at the 2008 St.

Scuttlebutt: Off the Charts

NOAA says it was “very surprised” by a recent study suggesting that many boaters are using severely out-of-date paper charts and are unaware of the availability of updates. “The coastal waters of the U.S. are in a constant state of change. Channels are re-routed; new aids to navigation are established or deleted; new wrecks and obstructions are discovered,” said Richard Sillcox of NOAA. “It is

Immigration Doesn’t Take American Express

Making sure your crewmembers have the proper visa documents is essential in maintaining a well-run yacht. If one of them doesn’t, you may have to quickly substitute a crewmember untrained in the ways of your vessel, which can both burden the rest of the crew and add risk to your onboard operations. A little forethought in obtaining the appropriate visas will help the boat operate more smoothly
