An American Icon, Brought to Life

Kelpie, a 1928 schooner and World War II veteran, is more than a yacht — she is an American icon. Beloved in the Hamptons and recognized from New York to Europe, Kelpie is the most talked-about classic yacht on the water. Her crew, equally celebrated, embody the artistry of hospitality and the enduring spirit of adventure.

Celebrated. Recognized. Proven.

Kelpie and her captain are among the most celebrated names in yachting, with unmatched press coverage and countless editorial features. Our collaborations include Fiat, Platinum Born Jewelry, Vineyard Vines, Leallo, and the Ralph Lauren Gazette. Kelpie is a trusted stage for brands seeking authenticity, style, and impact.

The New Rules of Luxury

Today’s luxury consumer seeks more than a product — they seek a story, an experience, a memory.

• Authenticity & Individuality
• Immersive Experiences
• Bespoke & Personal Storytelling
• Social Amplification
• Hyper-Local Marketing

Kelpie embodies these shifts: a living, breathing stage experienced by an affluent audience, and shared organically across media.

A Stage Unlike Any Other

Kelpie is a 78-foot schooner certified for 24 passengers, accompanied by a chase boat certified for 16. This makes her uniquely suited as a dynamic photoshoot platform – capturing iconic imagery from every angle.

Coveted by editors and stylists alike, Kelpie offers not just a backdrop, but a story that already resonates with audiences in the Hamptons and beyond.
