Over a decade ago, Alex began sharing his fascination for yachts on social media, a simple passion that evolved into a global platform reaching nearly a million followers across Instagram, YouTube, and beyond. Today, The Yacht Guy is more than a brand; it’s a movement that’s reshaped how audiences connect with the world of yachting.

‘The goal of The Yacht Guy is to help brands continuously promote their name and get it out there, just to stay in the face of the people,’ Jimenez explained.

Reflecting on how the industry has evolved, Jimenez shared one defining trend he has witnessed over the past decade: ‘Bigger is better.’ His appreciation for standout vessels is evident when naming his top three favourites: CORINTHIA 7, ADMIRAL ARMANI, and FORCE BLUE, with the latter affectionately described as being ‘built like a tank.’

The discussion also introduced his exciting new partnership with Superyachts.com and Shari Liu, a collaboration that brings their shared vision to life in the new travel series ‘Unchartered Territory.’ Speaking about the project, Alex said, ‘When looking for my Top 100, it’s the first place I go,’ underscoring the synergy between The Yacht Guys channels and Superyachts.com’s established platform.
