After graduating from the University of Massachusetts he moved back to St. Croix permanently. Once again sailing as a charter captain and also competitively for the V.I. Olympic team. In 1991 Jean-Pierre went to work for Hess Oil in the marine department as a deck hand on a tug and later the same year became Captain of a 105 ship handling/ocean-towing tug.
He would marry his college girlfriend, Janet, in 1993. Their first of three children, Justin, was born in 1994. At that time they made the decision to move back up North. The family continued to grow with the arrival of Jessica in 1996 and James in 1999.
In 1995 he took the position of Waterfront manager for Marina Bay in North Quincy, MA. Once the new management system was in place his next project was to develop a new boat dealership and brokerage. At this point, Jean-Pierre migrated to being a full-time yacht broker. His knowledge of the industry and yachts in general made this transition the perfect fit. He prides himself in developing his client relationships into friendships. His clients know that he is always only a phone call away to answer any questions, whether it is about their next yacht or the next piece of gear for the current boat.
Jean-Pierre can be found doing what he does best, putting his clients in the right yacht.

The Frances Fleet offers a variety of fishing trips, including day, full day, night, offshore and overnight extended trips. Novices and experienced anglers alike are welcome on all our trips, and our crew will be happy to give instructions to anyone who wants/needs assistance. No reservations are necessary on the majority of our day and/or night trips, with the exception of night bass and squid. Rods are available to rent for all of our trips, and bait is supplied free of charge. And if you'd like to accompany an angler but choose not to fish, you're welcome to join in the fun and perhaps do some sunbathing at a discounted rate. If you want excitement, sport and the ultimate in fishing challenges, then our offshore tuna trips are for you. We offer numerous offshore tuna trips beginning in late August and running until late October. Due to the overwhelming demand of these trips, reservations are needed. Also of special interest are our whale watch expeditions. These trips run in July and August, five days per week. We have enjoyed sighting various forms of marine life, including finback whales, humpbacks, minke whales, dolphins, sea turtles, giant ocean sunfish, sharks and a wide array of bird life.
