Captain Kris brings a wealth of maritime expertise and a deep passion for yachting to M/Y BEACHFRONT. With a 200-ton USCG Master License, STCW, HELM, Radar Observer Unlimited, AEC Engineering Certification, and PADI Divemaster, he ensures that every charter is seamless, safe, and unforgettable. His hands-on leadership and adaptability make him a vital part of the onboard experience.
Born and raised in Newport/Little Compton, Rhode Island, Kris grew up in a close-knit family alongside his older sister. Surrounded by the ocean, he developed a love for boating at an early age. His childhood was filled with adventure, whether traveling, sailing, skiing, or golfing. His parents encouraged him to explore a variety of sports, and he spent years competing on a traveling swim team, playing golf, and enjoying winters on the slopes.
Kris’s fascination with yachts started early, inspired by the stunning vessels docked in Newport. As a child, he would sketch boats, dreaming of a future on the water. In 2003, he took his first professional step into yachting after earning his Scuba Dive Instructor certification. He soon found work on a liveaboard sailing yacht, traveling with guests and experiencing life at sea full-time.
His career progressed quickly as he worked as an engineer on a high-demand charter yacht in the Bahamas, gaining valuable technical expertise. Later, he transitioned to an owner’s program based in Nassau, completing over 15 Exumas trips annually, an experience that solidified his love for these pristine cruising grounds.
Over the years, Kris has served on a variety of prestigious yachts, including M/Y BEACHFRONT II, M/Y COMANCHE, M/Y SCOTT FREE, M/Y PATRIOT, M/Y FREEDOM, M/Y SEA DREAMS, M/Y ONE LOVE and M/Y INSIEME. Now at the helm of BEACHFRONT, he leads with a hands-on approach, ensuring smooth operations while fostering a dynamic and professional onboard atmosphere. He prides himself on his ability to adapt to any role necessary to enhance the guest experience and support his crew.
Kris has extensive cruising experience along the U.S. East Coast, from Florida to Massachusetts, enjoying the challenge of planning and executing seamless voyages. He has also spent years in the Caribbean, USVI, and BVI, but his heart lies in the Exumas - his favorite charter destination. With its crystal-clear waters, incredible fishing, and endless activities, the Exumas provide the perfect playground for adventure and relaxation.
When not on the water, Kris finds joy in Colorado, where he embraces the seasons, stunning landscapes, and outdoor adventures. Whether hiking, skiing, motorcycling, or exploring rivers, he thrives on the energy of the outdoors.
Currently working toward a larger captain’s license, Kris aspires to command a 180’-200’ yacht in the near future. Beyond yachting, he envisions running his own business, using his leadership and problem-solving skills to build something meaningful.
For Kris, the perfect charter isn’t just about luxury, it’s about creating unforgettable moments. His goal is for guests to leave BEACHFRONT with lifelong memories, feeling that they’ve just experienced their best vacation yet.
A true outdoor enthusiast, Kris enjoys motorcycling, skiing, hiking, swimming, and golf. Always eager to share his skills, he thrives on teaching and ensuring that every day, whether on land or sea, is filled with adventure and discovery.
He lives by the belief that if you can’t stop thinking about something, you shouldn’t stop working for it. Whether navigating a yacht, leading a team, or chasing new challenges, Kris pursues every endeavor with passion and purpose.

Guest one:Best crew! So much fun and I had an amazing time :))
Guest two:
Thank you so much for the best time!
Everything was amazing from the food to the sharks!
The trip would not have been the same without the amazing crew!!!
We are all so thankful for the food and helping us with water toys and everything in between!
WE LOVE BEACHFRONT!!!
LOVE, X family
***March 8-15, 2025***
Guest one:Thank you for an incredible week. It was truly unforgettable.
The crew – Kris, Reg, Paola, Geneva and LA – was the highlight of the trip and brought the best energy.
We are all already planning our next adventure on Beachfront because it is hard to imagine a more luxurious experience.
Thank you for a dream vacation + A presto!
With love,
X, Y & Z Family
Guest two:
This trip was absolutely amazing! I will never forget it.
The crew – G, Paola, Kris, LA, and Reg – made the trip even more special.
Thank you for such an amazing week! ♥♥
***January 5-11,2025***
Incredible voyage!Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed excellent food, service, and hospitality.
***November 23-30, 2020***
I would also like to let you know how much we appreciated the entire crew of the Beachfront. From the moment I met them via our video conference call, I knew they would be a great fit for our family. Words cannot express how friendly and caring they were the whole time. I felt as though they went above and beyond for us at every turn. I think we literally used every toy and amenity on the yacht and had the best time doing so. Brian was incredible from day one. He was extremely professional and personable the entire trip and kept our tribe moving the whole time. There wasn't one time we weren't exploring, swimming, playing, and bonding as a family and he was the one that kept that going. He along with Luke were right there with us the entire time with a drone, GoPro, and a camera taking pictures and video that will last a lifetime for us. The video at the end of the trip was definitely Hollywood worthy and has only been watched ten thousand times by our family. Brian and Luke made sure everything was ready to go at a moments notice and had us traveling in style. Words cannot express how great those two were.Maryanne and Steph did an outstanding job with the interior. I don't think a drink ever ran dry or a snack ever went empty, which is saying a lot with four cray kids on board. These two amazing people had the boat looking good from top to bottom 100% of the time. It was such a pleasure to return to our room completely made up from top to bottom always sparkling clean. I am a little OCD and to have everything wiped down, clean, pressed, and smelling good is what a real vacation is to me. We noticed everything they did and want to make sure that part of the trip doesn't go unmentioned. The table settings and themes were so carefully crafted and festive that even our kids would get up early to see how the table was set or jump off the tender as quickly as they could to be the first one to see what the theme was that night. We couldn't have had a better team to take care of us.
Martin was outstanding to say the least. He was so accommodating with eight people that all wanted a little something different. I would say the only complaint we had with the food is that we are all about ten pounds heavier now, which is a good problem to have! He along with everyone on board nailed Thanksgiving dinner. Words cannot express how grateful we are for the amazing food, company, and ambiance that was done to accommodate a special tradition we hold dear. We were all a little nervous as to how Thanksgiving would go and not only did it meet our expectations but it is going to be hard to do anything but this now every Thanksgiving. I also want to point out that the birthday cake was beyond incredible. I couldn't believe how great the cake not only looked but tasted. Martin truly is an artist and the trip would not have been the same without him.
Overall I cannot thank you or the crew enough. Our kids were literally in tears in the car on the way home from the boat, and not just from the amazing experience we had just had, but because of the friendship and love they had for the people that made it happen. Thank you for making this once in a lifetime trip so memorable. I cannot wait to do it again.

***April 4-8, 2018***
Everything exceeded our expectations – we can’t find the words to describe how wonderful everything was! And we can only wonder how there is a better crew than the BEACHFRONT crew! From Captain Brian, Stew Ollie, Mate Malcolm and Chef Gary, they were all A+ all around, total team players, always happy and helping each other out. They worked extremely hard, were professional, and made sure all of us were always happy. We loved catching grouper with Malcolm and bringing it back to the yacht to have Chef Gary cook it up - we couldn’t say more how wonderful it was! They even took video and gave us a copy at the end to remember our time aboard, snorkeling and exploring. We had a fantastic time and are already planning our return to BEACHFRONT and the Exumas! We highly recommend the yacht to anyone looking for a phenomenal experience!***/***
