Ami Ira – President/Co-Owner Bluewater USA
COMPANY HISTORY: Ami joined what was Crew Unlimited back in 1993, took sole-ownership of the company in 1999, and built it into a top international Crew Placement and Yacht Charter firm. In 2016, she was presented with an opportunity to team up with Bluewater. Having known the Directors for many years and sharing the same ideologies, the decision was easy. Now, Bluewater is able to offer the same top caliber service in all facets of the yachting industry, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as well as Antibes, Palma, Monaco, Moscow, and Hong Kong. One Company, One Complete Service.
“This has been an exciting and successful year for us. Our companies joining forces has changed the crew placement and training landscape, resulting in the world’s largest yachting talent pool by far, sharing more than 110,000 crew candidates, and offering more than 5,000 yacht jobs worldwide. In fact, our training capabilities make us the only company worldwide where a client can buy or charter a yacht, where the crew has been recruited, trained, placed, and are managed, in-house. This, in itself, sets Bluewater apart from everyone else, and is something we are tremendously proud of.”
