SPLASHED OUT

William Hunter

Will was born in Tampa FL and grew up in Naples FL. He always had a passion for the water being a native Floridian so it’s no surprise his career has taken him to the marine industry. After high school he started working at a marina doing boat/jet ski rentals, eco tours, running the fuel docks and doing charter fishing with the many charter captains that moored at his marina. After a few years of working the docks he was approached by the Naples Princess to be a mate on board. Eventually he went full time and was on the water everyday. He decided he wanted to see more and wanted to pursue the yachting industry. He soon found a yacht looking for a mate and quickly made the transition to a private yacht. Once he submerged himself in the yachting industry he knew he would be a Captain one day and planned to do so. After years of hard work and a lot of Maritime Education he became a captain. He is now approaching 10 years in the yachting industry and will continue to grow his career.
