HIS STORY

A Life Lived on the Water

Captain Orly's love for the water started long before he earned his first license. Growing up in South Florida, the woods and the water were calling — and he answered. What began as a passion turned into a lifelong professional career spanning over three and a half decades on the water.

Over the years, Captain Orly has navigated the Eastern Seaboard, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean — accumulating the kind of real-world experience that can't be taught in a classroom. He has delivered yachts for private owners, brokerages, and manufacturers, captained charters for hundreds of guests, and trained countless students who went on to become confident, safe boaters.

His deep respect for the ocean, combined with a warm personality and a genuine love for what he does, makes him a trusted partner for boat owners, charter guests, and students alike.

"Make your passion your profession — you'll be glad you did."

"Make your passion your profession — you'll be glad you did."

— CAPTAIN ORLY PAZ

Captain Orly didn't choose this career — it chose him. From the very first time he stepped aboard a vessel, he knew the water was where he belonged. That passion has driven him every single day for over 35 years, and it's what makes every lesson, every delivery, and every charter something he gives his absolute best to.
