Jean-Marie Cabri is a global business leader and lifelong sailor whose career has evolved organically across continents and industries. Born and raised in France by the water, sailing was never a decision but a calling. After completing a solid education in the French academic system, he began his career in banking, healthcare, and international business before pursuing a life at sea. With his wife and children, he embarked on a world voyage that ultimately brought him to California, where he embraced American culture and values while expanding his entrepreneurial ventures.
Jean-Marie established successful businesses in art and telecommunications before returning to his true passion: yachting. After selling his own blue-water cruising yacht, he recognized the unique perspective he could offer other owners. He became a USCG-licensed captain and founded his own yacht dealership and brokerage, combining professional expertise with the authenticity of an owner’s point of view. His approach to yacht ownership emphasizes simplicity, enjoyment, and discovery, guiding clients through every stage of the process with clarity and trust.
Today, Jean-Marie leverages his international background, entrepreneurial experience, and deep maritime knowledge to support clients in achieving their dreams on the water. For him, pleasure boating must remain centered on pleasure itself: the pleasure of learning, of practicing seamanship, of adventure and discovery, and ultimately of knowing oneself through the sea.
