Yacht Genies was created after many years of watching couples struggle to get through the initial steps of vessel ownership. We have been boating together for over two decades and have delivered boats and offered training from the Canadian border to the Keys of Florida. Now, living in beautiful Cape Coral, FL we have noticed an increased need for a shared Captain & First Mate training experience.
We specialize in Couples Boat Training so that all on board are enjoying the boating experience. This includes learning about your new boat or finding all the great on water restaurants the area has to offer; to navigating the ICW or even how to create an amazing lunch/dinner on board!
Whatever the wish... we feel we are just the genies to grant it! - Captain Michael & First Mate Rochelle
In April 2021, we hired both Captain Mike & his wife Rochelle to help us safely transport our newly purchased vessel, a 2008 52ft. Sea Ray Sedan Bridge from Jacksonville, FL to our new home in Cape Coral, FL. First and foremost, this was an experience of a lifetime.

In April 2021, we hired both Captain Mike & his wife Rochelle to help us safely transport our newly purchased vessel, a 2008 52ft. Sea Ray Sedan Bridge from Jacksonville, FL to our new home in Cape Coral, FL. First and foremost, this was an experience of a lifetime. We learned so much from these two AMAZING people on our five-day excursion. They were the perfect guides, allowing us to operate our new boat, while coaching and assisting the entire trip. Whether you are looking for someone trustworthy to simply transport your boat or a highly experienced couple to guide you along. We highly recommend Mike and Rochelle.

My wife and I recently purchased our first twin engine trawler. Although we were long time sailors, we had no experience handling this type of boat so our broker suggested we contact Mike and Rochelle who specialize in providing on the water training for couples. We immediately found them very enjoyable to work with as they provided personalized training and positive feedback that had us feeling much more comfortable with the boat at the end of the day. Since we were out of state, they also delivered the boat for some repairs in preparation for our return home. Having done multiple boat deliveries that included the route we would take, they were able to share their first-hand knowledge and experience including custom tracks that proved invaluable during our trip. We would highly recommend Mike and Rochelle for anyone interested in boat deliveries or training,
