Discover the Nautical Lifestyle with SeaNet Yachts

Jul 26

By: Amanda Huntsman

Founded by Michael Costa, SeaNet Yachts has been providing exceptional yachting experiences since 2003. Michael's deep connection with the sea, cultivated from his childhood days spent on the water with his large family, inspired him to create a business that would allow others to enjoy the same lifestyle. Recognizing the challenges of full boat ownership—time constraints, maintenance costs and limited slip availability —Michael envisioned a more accessible way to bring people together on the water.

Bringing People Together

SeaNet Yachts is more than a business; it's a community builder. The company’s mission, "To provide exceptional yachting experiences through innovative ownership options and personalized service, ensuring everyone can enjoy the water," reflects its dedication to creating memorable experiences. By offering whole or fractional boat ownership, SeaNet makes it possible for more people to enjoy yachting without the usual hurdles.
