Michael Shore brings over 25 years of on-water experience navigating from New York City through the Hamptons as a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed 100-ton Captain. His career spans far beyond operating vessels, advising and guiding both new and seasoned owners through every stage of the yachting experience—from selecting the right manufacturer and vessel to coordinating dockage, logistics, and personalized accommodations long after delivery. Having seen many owners sell nearly new boats simply because they were the wrong fit, Michael provides the critical insight that bridges the gap between marketing promises and real-world performance.

Backed by deep industry knowledge and long-standing relationships throughout the Hamptons—including dockage, lunch slips, local captains, and marine professionals—Shore Yacht Concierge exists to deliver clarity, confidence, and a seamless ownership experience without regret.

Michael also supports clients throughout the vessel design and specification process, advising on layout decisions, build options, and the often-overlooked mandatory equipment and systems required for safe, compliant operation. From critical factory options to practical upgrades that impact real-world use, he ensures each boat is properly equipped—eliminating surprises and protecting owners from costly mistakes before delivery.
