For Richard and Deborah Heinegger, life has always been closely tied to the water. Years ago, the couple spent three and a half years living aboard their 76-foot floating home. But after selling the boat and returning to a landlocked life in Kansas City, they couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.

For James and Kara Abraham, yacht ownership wasn’t something they imagined for their future. In fact, before becoming Moorings owners, they had never even sailed before. But what they lacked in sailing skills, they more than made up for in curiosity, a love for travel, and a spark of inspiration from watching YouTube sailing videos. And that spark grew into a reality when they discovered The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program. A program they say has been truly “life-changing”.

One of the best parts of being a Moorings yacht owner? It’s not just the boat—it’s the lifestyle. And nothing captures that better than the Moorings Yacht Owner Flotilla.
