Who We Are

Brooks Detchon is a Yacht Manager with over twenty years of experience in the yachting industry. After attending the University of Vermont where he received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance, he began a professional sailing career. For fifteen years he worked on an array of sailing yachts and in a variety of positions, including Captain, Mate and Engineer. Always heavily involved in yard periods and refits, he found himself eager to expand his knowledge of systems and structure. A position of Project Manager at Marine Group Boat Works in San Diego provided a perfect place for him to do so. While at Marine Group Brooks was in charge of projects ranging from, full paint jobs, to adding extensions, to re-powers, to the complete gutting and modernizing of a classic yacht. Acting as a close liaison to captains, owners, contractors and yard managers, Brooks’ communication skills always made for an amicable experience and produced results on time.

Organizing, planning and executing refits on large yachts for close to five years, combined with his time as a yacht captain, gave him the knowledge and confidence to go out on his own. By providing full service yacht management, he is helping owners worry and work less, and he hopes to give them the freedom to simply enjoy their boats. Additionally, Brooks is an invaluable resource to captains and crew, relieving them of logistical responsibilities, and assisting with planning, so they can focus on the daily tasks of running the boat. With Brooks Yacht Management your yacht will run more efficiently, effectively, and to the highest standard.
