About YachtDudes

We are exactly what we say we are, just a couple dudes…. Yacht Dudes! Two cousins that grew up on the sunny beaches of South Florida and have enjoyed boating and water sports their entire lives. We both have gone through hassles and headaches when renting marine vessels as well as when purchasing our 1^st yacht. It was then we had an idea: Let’s do this, BUT BETTER! That was the day it all began. Now with a small family-owned fleet and several other options available from a small network of local and trusted yacht owners, we have fully launched online to service your needs better than the rest.

Dallas Ladd, grew up in Sunny South Florida with his scuba diving parents. His father a divemaster, his mother an instructor’s helper. His family owned several boats through his childhood and he also took up scuba diving at an early age. His passion for the ocean and water sports grew over the years as did his career in I.T. and business. Eventually founding several successful companies in tech and marketing as a serial entrepreneur he then partnered with his cousin Brandon. This however was the 1^st business that took off from day 1 like wildfire. Early on he could tell this was an industry lacking in the quality service expected by any consumer and hasn’t been focused on expansion so much as the customer experience ever since. His extensive background within the service industry is invaluable to providing a personal connection and lasting relationship with all of our clients.

Brandon Edwards also grew up in sunny South Florida blocks away from the Fort Lauderdale strip on the beach where he practically grew up on the water spending most days surfing, fishing, boating, and snorkeling. After high school Brandon became a serial student learning everything from statistics and programming, to electrical engineering and fabrication. Eventually he ended up in business school; and it was Brandon’s diverse skills plus trust in family that made Dallas the perfect partner for a solid venture they are both passionate about. Brandon’s programing skills have brought a unique skillset to this business as we manage all of our clients and vessel owners seamlessly so no detail is overlooked as we use our in-house system to provide clients the best experience possible.
