Run like a commercial vessel. Cared for like your own.
Pennant Yacht Management is a private vessel-management business in Rushcutters Bay, run hands-on by its Principal, Sam Fuller.
The Principal
Sam started as a deckhand on larger charter boats whilst beginning his first year at Macquarie University. Over the next five-plus years he worked up to master, across jet boating, whale watching, corporate charter and superyacht detailing, acheiving a Bachelor of Business along the way.
“The biggest lesson commercial boating taught me was how seriously safety and risk are managed when they have to be. I want private owners to see that same standard in the way their boat is looked after.” — Sam Fuller
Why Pennant exists
Commercial vessels run on checklists, logs and planned maintenance because the rules demand it. Most private boats don't, and their owners find out the hard way — a flat battery on a Saturday, a missed service, a mark that became a repair. Pennant brings commercial discipline to private boats, and makes it visible in a report after every visit.
