Black-Owned Yacht Charter Business Launched by HBCU Alum

Soca Caribbean Yacht Charters is a new boutique travel agency founded by a Hampton University and Howard Law School graduate Shelia Ruffin. Growing up on the eastern shore of Virginia, Ruffin always had an affinity for boats. Her grandfather was an avid boater and this allowed her the opportunity to spend her childhood on the water.

Ruffin eventually attended law school but failed to pass the bar on the first try. This led her to land a job on the island of St. Thomas where she decided to practice law. While there, Ruffin decided to become a certified travel associate, but she wanted to do more than just be a travel agent.

“I googled yacht agencies that were one-stop-shops, but I couldn’t find any,” Ruffin told Travel Noire . “This gave me an idea of what I could do. Plus, I couldn’t find any people of color within the industry. Therefore, I set out to start my own company.”

From there, Soca Caribbean Yacht Charters (SCYC) was born.

“We offer a door to dock-to-door service,” Ruffin said. “The minute you step out of your home, there is a luxury car waiting to take you to the airport. Once you arrive in your Caribbean destination, we provide transfers to the dock where you board your yacht. After your trip, we also provide all services in reverse.”

SCYC works with yacht companies in the Bahamas, Grenada, St. Lucia, the British Virgin Islands, St. Vincent and St. Martin. The company provides access to yachts featuring a private chef and captain.

“To be the anchor between the yacht industry and millennials and people of color is amazing,” Ruffin said. “It’s not easy. I’m entering into space where black women aren’t normally present. It’s an amazing feeling.”

SCYC also wants to encourage people of color to experience the high-end luxury yacht experience. Ruffin told the Miami Times , in 2018 black people “contributed $63 billion to America’s travel and tourism industry and Hispanic Americans contributed $56 billion.”

With that type of tourism purchasing power, this black-owned company looks to gain increased market share in the Caribbean.

8 Black-Owned Marine and Outdoor Businesses to Support

In celebration of Black History Month, we're highlighting eight remarkable Black-owned marine and outdoor businesses, each contributing to the boating culture we all love. 

Black History Month - Businesses

From trailblazing entrepreneurs in yacht charters to marina management and sailing advocacy, these individuals are breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity within the maritime industry.

1. Yacht Club Company | Jon Robert & William Lee

William Lee and Jon Roberts, Black entrepreneurs, turned their pandemic escape into a thriving business with Tulum's premier yacht charter service, the Yacht Club Company .

Lee, a tech founder, and Roberts, a hospitality veteran, transformed their chance meeting into a unique experience for people of color.

The Yacht Club Company stands out with specialized routes, diverse alcohol options, unique yacht experiences, and curated events and food menus tailored for POC. Lee emphasizes addressing the lack of inclusive experiences in tourist areas, making Tulum a destination for Black travelers.

Their decision to bring the Yacht Club concept to Tulum stems from Lee's love for the Yucatan Peninsula's culture and people. 

With a mission to cater to the Black traveler community, they aim to build a global membership program for people of color, providing exclusive events and access to premier locations. 

Partnering with H20sun Cruises, they manage sea vessels and provide employment opportunities for locals. The success in Tulum serves as a model for their global expansion plans, aspiring to be the ultimate hub for yachting and premium experiences worldwide.

2. Riverside Marina | Jason McGuire

One of only 11 African American Certified Marina Managers in the U.S. and the only one in Michigan, Jason McGuire operates Riverside Marina in Detroit. Taking charge in 2012, he led the marina out of bankruptcy to a thriving community with a 100+ person waitlist.

Originally known as Harbor Hill Marina, it was envisioned by former Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young and Porterfield Wilson, a prominent Black GM and Buick dealer. Wilson aimed to build an inclusive community along the Detroit River that embraced Black boating life. 

Riverside and Erma Henderson Marinas, both in Detroit, are the only marinas in Michigan run and operated by a Black company, making Detroit home to the largest African American boating community in the U.S. 

McGuire aims to continue the legacy, fostering the next generation of Black boaters in Detroit while creating more opportunities for Black Detroiters in the boating industry.

3. Soca Caribbean Yacht Charters | Sheila Ruffin

Soca Caribbean Yacht Charters (SCYC), founded by Sheila Ruffin , a Hampton University and Howard University School of Law graduate, stands out as a unique boutique travel agency owner, breaking barriers in the yacht industry. 

Motivated by her childhood affinity for boats and a desire to address the industry's lack of diversity, Ruffin established SCYC to offer exclusive, all-inclusive yacht vacations in the Caribbean. 

Ruffin challenges the perception that yachting is only for affluent whites, highlighting the untapped market potential among middle-class and wealthy individuals of color. She is working to revolutionize the industry by capturing the attention of those demographics that have been overlooked.

4. Slim Pickins Outfitters | Jahmicah Dawes

Slim Pickins Outfitters holds the distinction of being the first Black-owned outdoor gear shop in the United States. Established by Jahmicah Dawes, the store is driven by a core mission to foster diversity in ownership and leadership roles across the outdoor industry. 

Beyond its extensive range of outdoor gear, Slim Pickins Outfitters also boasts a curated selection of vintage clothing and footwear. Not only that, Slim Pickins Outfitters is deeply committed to enriching the outdoor community through educational initiatives and community events.

They are creating a meaningful space for the local community while catering to the needs of creative outdoor enthusiasts. 

By championing underrepresented voices in the outdoor realm and advocating for inclusivity, the shop is more than a retail store. It is pivotal in broadening access and representation within the outdoor sector.

5. Got The Hook Up Charters | Capt. Brandon Hillard

Capt. Brandon Hilliard, a native of East St. Louis, IL, and U.S. Air Force veteran, owns and operates Got The Hook Up Charters . Specializing in offshore fishing, he transitioned from freshwater to saltwater fishing during his Air Force stint in Fort Walton Beach, FL. 

His charters, led on a 2022 Cape Horn 31T Center Console, accommodate up to 6 passengers. 

Capt. Brandon's expertise includes bottom/reef fishing for Snappers, Groupers, Amberjacks, and Pelagic Species like Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo.

Certified by the United States Coast Guard, Capt. Brandon prioritizes safety. From the Panhandle to the Florida Keys and the Bahamas, Capt. Brandon's excursions promise a memorable adventure, creating lasting memories for everyone on board.

6. Black Girls Dive | Dr. Nevada Winrow and Taylor-Symon Winrow

Founded by Dr. Nevada Winrow and Taylor-Symon Winrow, Black Girls Dive is dedicated to empowering young women of color. By offering access to scuba diving education and education, Black Girls Dive created avenues for personal and professional advancement within the marine industry.

Black Girls Dive fosters the development of essential skills, knowledge, and leadership qualities. Through a diverse array of programs, including introductory diving courses, workshops, and mentorship initiatives, the organization is building up a new generation of leaders in marine conservation.

Black Girls Dive actively collaborates with communities and organizations to advocate for diversity in STEM fields, establishing a supportive network for women pursuing careers in marine science. 

The organization serves as a vital catalyst in dismantling barriers and empowering female leaders to drive meaningful change in ocean conservation and exploration efforts.

7. R&R Surf | Artiss and Arlyn Redmond

R&R Surf , the first Black-owned water sports rental business on the bayfront in Chula Vista, California, was founded by Artiss and Arlyn Redmond.

With Artiss's 25 years and Arlyn's over 21 years of experience in the Navy, including amphibious operations and various vessel types worldwide, the couple combined their knowledge and love for the water to create R&R Surf. 

Their business offers a range of water sports equipment rentals, emphasizing rest and relaxation for locals and visitors alike. R&R Surf represents a significant milestone in promoting diversity and entrepreneurship in the water sports industry while providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all enthusiasts.

8. Be You! Charters | Captain Nashhawn Taylor

Captain Nashawn Taylor, a Black woman and Master Captain, has pioneered a unique venture in the predominantly white leisure boating market. As the brains behind Be You! Charters , the country's premier paint, sip, and sail boating experience, Taylor's journey was marked by adversity. 

Initially a trained police officer, she identified the scarcity of Black women as Master Captains in yacht charters. Taylor strategically joined the marine division of the U.S. Coast Guard, known for its male dominance and elite status, and used it as a stepping stone to enter the yacht industry.

Transitioning from her 22-year career in the police force, Taylor founded Be You! Charters, which offers personalized, stress-free yacht charters in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

Positioned as the first Black-owned business of its kind in the DMV, Be You! Charters, based near the National Harbor in Fort Washington, Maryland, invites guests to paint on wine glasses before setting sail for a memorable yacht party.

Sip & Sail: The Black Woman Behind Maryland's Unique Boating Experience

Captain Nashawn Taylor is driving the boat of Sip & Sail, an experience that she says you’re likely not to find anywhere else in the country.

Mitti Hicks • Jul 30, 2021

Sip & Sail

Captain Nashawn Taylor is driving the boat of Sip & Sail, an experience she says you’ll likely not find anywhere else in the country.

As the founder of Be You!, she wanted to put both her passions and hobbies together that would allow people to sip and sail.

“I’m an artist, and I’ve been doing art all my life and I also love the water,” she told Travel Noire. “I’m a police officer by day and have worked on the marine unit patrolling the water. I liked the water so much that I decided to get my own boat. That’s when I decided to combine my experiences and decided to do paint and sail because I realized one else had that.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Captain QT (@beyou_captain_qt)

Taylor says that her model stands alone and based on her research, she is the only one with a unique sip and sail experience on the east coast.

Based in Maryland , guests can expect to paint on wine glasses, which will start on the pier before taking off to sail for the yacht party.

“It’s all about expressing yourself,” she said. “It’s about enjoying your freedom, and your time. It’s more than just doing a boat charter. By booking with us, you’re getting an amazing sightseeing tour along with the painting.”

Be You! offers two options for your yachting experience . The “luxury” yacht comfortably seats eight guests, while the larger “lavish” yacht offers more dance floor and open-air deck space.

Taylor and her team also work with caterers to offer food on the yacht and music on board.

“It’s a one-stop-shop where you have the artistic portion and the painting on the water.”

You can book the experience all the way into fall but her slots fill up quickly. To book or learn more about the experience, click here.

#1 Boat Rental In The DMV ★★★★★

Me and my husband had a great time doing a two-hour evening ride. You can bring your own drinks and play your own music, but the best part is really taking in the views. Everything was great from start to finish. Booking online was simple and you can fill out the waivers online ahead of time. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Very nice for a friends outing or date night! We went late afternoon/early evening and it's still pretty hot (late June) but once we took off it was cooler with a breeze. Enjoy the ride and take in great views along the Potomac. It's BYOB and you can connect your music to the boat's Bluetooth. Overall great time and our driver Jafari waited for us even though we were late. Make sure to use your phone for accurate directions, you'll walk though a tall gate past an office to get to the docks. We got a Little confused at first.

Have to show some love to this innovative company that popped up at the perfect time. A tiny pod on a tiny boat trying to celebrate a protracted Halloween, we wondered how we can show off our cute outfits but also stay safe and distant....enter....Yachtsy. Need to take advantage of a gorgeous day with friends or family? Yachtsy. A creative and romantic date idea? Yachtsy!

What do you do in the time of COVID-19 when you want to be out with friends, not pay a billion dollars at a bar where you can only be seated with so many people, enjoy the weather, and do something a little bit different? You rent a boat with Yachtsy. It was super easy to set up, the boat driver was right on time and super polite and you never got the feeling that he was wishing he were somewhere else. Its BYOB, which, how can you beat that!? and you can bring your own munchies. This was a great time and everyone in my group said we needed to do it again once it cooled down. Def check it out.
