About YatHub
Built from the inside.
YatHub is a professional maritime network founded by former chief engineers and captains. We're building the platform we wished existed when we were the ones hiring crew, looking for a slip, and chasing down vendors — based in Fort Lauderdale, the superyacht capital of North America.
Why YatHub Exists
The yachting industry runs on group chats. We're giving it infrastructure.
The maritime industry — captains, crew, dock owners, vendors — has no professional network of its own. Captains find crew through WhatsApp. Dock owners field inquiries by word of mouth. Vendors compete for work through personal connections. Reputations live in whoever's memory you can reach by phone.
YatHub digitizes and scales the trust-based referral network that already drives this industry. We don't replace the relationships — we give them structure, searchability, and permanence.
Built by people who lived the problem. A former chief engineer who hired the same kind of crew our users hire. Captains who've been on both sides of the dock inquiry. Vendors who know what a good lead looks like and what a bad one costs.
Free to use. Pay for visibility when the platform is delivering. No commissions. No payment processing between users. We connect people, we verify the network, and we get out of the way.
What the platform covers
Crew & captain hiring
Captains post roles. Crew apply with structured profiles. The hiring flywheel that already runs on WhatsApp, with structure on top.
Private dockage
Verified private docks across South Florida — owner-direct, no marina middleman, screened before listing.
Vendor & contractor leads
Inbound work for marine and waterfront service providers — qualified leads from captains, dock owners, and yacht managers.
Industry events & resources
Boat shows, networking events, role guides, certification paths, and the maritime calendar that matters.

Our Team
Industry first. Software second.
The YatHub team is small, local, and deeply in the industry. We attend the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Palm Beach, and Miami shows because we want to meet our users at the dock, not over a support ticket.
Founder Tal Foxamit is a former chief engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience across the international superyacht industry. He's worked alongside the captains, crew, dock owners, and vendors YatHub serves — not as an outsider building for a market, but as someone who lived the workflow first.
We respond to every inquiry, complaint, and listing question ourselves. There's no support ticket queue. When you email hello@foxstays.com, you reach our team.
