St. Clair Superyachts: Navigating Luxury with Real-World Expertise
About the Company & Founder
Built on Experience Since 1997: Kevin St. Clair started his career below deck as an assistant engineer aboard a 150′ superyacht featured in Overboard and Indecent Proposal. His journey took him across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean, and into the heart of yacht operations.
Captain, Engineer & Broker: By 2002, he captained a 76′ Horizon yacht in Miami Beach. Years of hands-on navigation, maintenance, and sea trial experience shaped his reputation as a trusted maritime advisor.
Founded in 2025: Drawing on nearly 30 years of experience, Kevin launched his licensed Florida brokerage under the name St. Clair Superyachts, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale.
