Captain Sean P. Meagher was born and raised on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. USA. He was given his first sail boat at the age of 8 and has been sailing ever since. He earned his first Captains license at the age of 18 shortly after was given his first command of a ferry boat going to Martha’s Vineyard. Since then he has piloted everything from search and rescue craft on the Colorado river to Oceanco’s 109m Bravo Eugenia. In 2014 he piloted MY Latitude through the Northwest Passage and in 2015 he did it again in the opposite direction earning his first Boat International Voyager award. Overall he won 2 Voyager awards and has been nominated for 4 Boat International awards in several categories. He currently has a USCG Master Unlimited in both Sail and Power.
My role in the yachting industry is varied. I still am actively involved in with several vessels. I am the Marine and Military advisor to Engineered Fluids, a company that is working to make technology greener and more efficient. I speak internationally on a variety of topics, and finally I am a broker with Worth Avenue Yachts.
I think as masters we forget that what we do, the vessels we command and the demands that are placed on us are huge. I believe that the recognition of excellence among one’s peers is not only important but necessary. Necessary to those receiving it to remind us that we do not work in a vacuum, and for future honorees to have a bench mark to strive for.
