JusMad

Captain: William Hunter

Captain/Engineer- William (Will) Hunter
American
Waters Cruised: Northeast, Bahamas, Caribbean

Captain Will was born in Tampa, FL and grew up in Naples, FL. Being a native Floridian, he has always had a passion for the water, so it’s no surprise his career path brought him to the marine industry. After high school, Will worked at a local marina where he looked over the boat/jet ski rentals, directed eco tours, ran the fuel docks and assisted the many charter captains moored at his marina on their fishing trips. After a few years of working the docks he was asked to join the Naples Princess, a popular sightseeing cruiser as their Mate. His time on board the Naples Princess showed Will that he was ready to take on more of the sea. Naturally, he turned to the yachting industry. Soon he found a yacht looking for a mate and quickly made the transition to private yachts. It was this job that led him to meet his fiancé, Megan, JusMad’s Stew/Cook extraordinaire! Together they have navigated the yachting industry for over 7 years and run JusMad as a dynamic team.
