Marc Lariviere - Captain
Captain Marc Lariviere hails from the beautiful city of Montreal in Canada. Growing up on an island surrounded by water saw Marc spend majority of his time outdoors where he quickly developed a love for boating and being on the water.
By the time he reached his twenties Marc seeked adventure and decided he would leave his native Canada he called home to travel the globe.
On a one way ticket with everything he owned packed into one compact suitcase Marc landed in the Caribbean - which little did he know was to be the setting and beginning of a nautical career.
At the ripe age of 22 Marc had landed a job as the Captain of a sport fishing vessel, a career he held and truly enjoyed for a few years.
When he was 28 the big white yachts caught his eye on the Caribbean Island of Saint Martin and needless to say the once sports fishing Captain was hooked on Super Yachts.
Since then, yachting has taken him all over the world, navigating many oceans to remote and exotic destinations.
