SOS Maritime is Sonnenfeld Oceanic Services, a full-service yacht management and marine services company serving Fort Lauderdale and South Florida. We combine ongoing vessel oversight, hands-on care, technical service, project management, and superyacht administration through one point of contact. From pre-purchase planning and delivery to routine operations, refits, and crewed-yacht support, we build the program around your vessel and priorities. Choose comprehensive management, targeted shoreside support, or an individual service.
Preventive care, clearly documented.
Maintenance calendars, condition checks, photographs, service records, and outstanding-work lists give owners a clear view of vessel condition and upcoming priorities.
Projects with a plan.
Scopes, estimates, owner approvals, schedules, budget tracking, and completion reviews bring structure to repairs, haul-outs, and yard periods.
Support your captain.
Crew recruitment, payroll administration, operating budgets, and compliance support give captains an organized shoreside resource alongside technical and vessel care services.
Start with the right scope.
Owner-operated boats and large crewed yachts receive a scope suited to their needs. Book a single service or an ongoing program; a management agreement is not required for individual work.
