Maritime Woman of the Year

I was very pleased to hear that Debra Marks is under consideration for “Maritime Woman of the Year”. In my 6-7 year association with Debra she has proved to be a true professional at all times. I will go so far as to say that I consider Debra the most outstanding captain in Southern California for yachts in the size and category she operates. I have found Debra to be competent in her job of operating yachts, astute in business, pleasant to deal with, and professional at all times. Debra certainly would have my vote for “Maritime Woman of the Year”!

Thank you so much for your hospitality during my visit to San Diego. Our time aboard your “command” was certainly a treat! Dave told me that I would not be disappointed and he was certainly right! It was a pleasure meeting you and being able to learn a bit more about your somewhat unique occupation. Thanks again and best of luck in your future endeavors.

Super “Super Bowl” Charter

I had the pleasure of chartering your yacht over Super Bowl weekend. I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how pleased I and my associates were. The boat itself was in excellent condition. The accommodations were striking and most importantly immaculate. Capt. Marks and her crew provided superior service to our guests. Their food preparation for us personally and their cocktail presentation was greatly appreciated by all. Capt. Marks made our stay most enjoyable by her courteous manner, her attention to her crew, and above all her professional presence. I have chartered many boats for both business and pleasure over the years and I do not hesitate to say this was one of the finest charters I’ve experienced. Capt Marks is to be commended and is truly a credit to her profession.
