ABOUT THE CLUB

Founded by a group of marine industry and recreation veterans, Barton & Gray Mariners Club is devoted to delivering a yacht ownership experience unlike any other, while maintaining the classic American relationship with the sea. Yacht ownership as an amenity, rather than an asset was a dream and idea our company is bringing to market - one we hope you share.
