Graeme Lord
Graeme Lord has more than 30 years' experience in the yachting industry. He established Fairport in October 2011 as an independent yacht management firm, which grew to manage a fleet of more than 100 yachts and 700 crew worldwide. After Fairport Global merged with IGY Marinas and both were acquired by MarineMax in 2024, he redirected his efforts to Professional Yacht Crew, a yacht crew leasing company he had founded in 2019 in the Cayman Islands.
He is Secretary/Treasurer of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) and Chairman of the Cayman Islands Shipowners Advisory Council, and has provided maritime law expert witness consulting services since 2022.
He has spoken at 20 Mare Forum events between 2014 and 2024, moderating four of them, all at superyacht-related conferences.
