Our Mission
At Lite Yachting, our mission is to deliver discreet, white-glove yachting support that gives owners absolute confidence and peace of mind. We exist to handle every operational and hospitality detail with precision, professionalism, and consistency so our clients can focus solely on enjoying their time on the water.
From arrival to departure, we ensure each vessel is fully prepared, meticulously maintained, and cared for to the highest standards. Our team anticipates needs before they arise, prioritizes safety and comfort, and operates with quiet efficiency and discretion. We serve a select clientele who value trust, continuity, and uncompromising execution.
We have earned the confidence of high-profile individuals, including nationally recognized business leaders and public officials, where reliability and discretion are non-negotiable. Our mission is reflected in long-standing client relationships and consistent five-star feedback built on performance, trust, and results.
Qualifications
All Lite Yachting crew members are trained, professional boat operators with extensive on-the-water experience. Every crew member holds a valid New York State boating license and operates in full compliance with all applicable maritime regulations.
Safety is non-negotiable. All crew are certified in first aid and emergency response, and we maintain rigorous international standards for situational awareness, vessel handling, and guest safety at all times.
Beyond technical ability, our team is selected for judgment, reliability, and professionalism. Crew members are carefully vetted and must demonstrate strong cognitive aptitude, sound decision-making under pressure, and personal accountability. As part of our internal standards, all crew are required to maintain an unweighted academic GPA above 3.65, reflecting discipline, consistency, and attention to detail.
Our crew maintains detailed knowledge of local waterways, marina-specific rules, and enforcement practices throughout the Hamptons and surrounding ports. We operate confidently in high-traffic conditions, at night, and in reduced visibility, with an emphasis on conservative judgment and proactive risk management. While guests are welcome to enjoy themselves responsibly, all Lite Yachting crew operate under a strict zero-tolerance policy for alcohol or substances while on duty. Professional operation is not optional.
