Angus Mackenzie

My Present

Greetings, I'm Angus Mackenzie, the Managing Director of Fairport. Currently, I oversee business operations, focusing on maximizing operational efficiency, and I lead a team of dynamic individuals. One of the aspects I enjoy most about my job is that every day brings new challenges, ensuring that no two days are the same.

My Past

My journey began in the coastal town of Knysna, South Africa. It was there that I first developed my love for the sea, spending countless hours sailing at the local yacht club and exploring beneath the waves through scuba diving. Joining the National Sea Rescue Institute at a young age allowed me to rise to the esteemed position of Rescue Coxswain. After graduating, I served three years in the South African Navy as a diesel technician on submarines. Upon completing my service, I returned to Knysna to manage the technical division of a large, highly regarded marine business. However, the allure of international travel beckoned, leading me to Florida to embark on a career in the yachting industry. Starting as a deckhand on my first yacht, my eagerness to learn and my substantial boating knowledge quickly earned me an engineering position aboard a larger vessel. In 2006, I decided to transition ashore, pursuing a role in the management department at International Yacht Collection.

My Future

Looking ahead, my goal is to continue evolving our services to remain current with new technologies while always prioritizing the importance of building strong relationships with our clients.

My Outside-office Life

Beyond the confines of the office, I find solace in family vacations and outdoor adventures. Whether it's surfing or diving, I cherish the moments spent with my daughters in and around our hometown of Jupiter.
