Shaping the future of Yachting on San Francisco Bay
Marti McMahon is an innovative yacht designer, builder and owner. Her vision is to create intimate special occasion experiences on the most elegant private yachts for charter on the San Francisco Bay. Her clients expect an exquisite experience and Marti delivers it.
Marti’s been passionate about yachting since she restored a 21 foot pleasure boat. Her flair for decorating – along with her love for entertaining and cooking for family and friends, ignited her desire to launch a business that combined her passion for boats, gourmet food and enjoying the adventure and beauty of being on the water with others.
Marti’s dream of creating a premier yacht charter company became a reality as she acquired a fleet of four impressive yachts. She personally designed and built two of the growing fleet. Seasoned charter boat owners nationwide and discerning meeting planners took note of Marti’s elegant approach.
She acquired Yacht Lady in 2000 to enjoy personally and to offer to private clients to enjoy the affordable luxury of being on the San Francisco Bay without owning their own yacht. To appreciate the essence of San Francisco, you must also see it from the water.
