Marine Surveyor, Engineer, and Captain

Joshua St. Germain is a highly accomplished, lean manufacturing expert and a multi-faceted marine engineer and surveyor. A designer by trade, he is a fourth-generation mariner and has family history in production boatbuilding during WWII. Joshua gained a foothold in the marine industry in 2009, managing and crewing with Ferretti Group on 33’-90’ yachts. Immediately developing a passion for yachting, he formed his first marine company, St. Germain Yacht Services, in 2010. Joshua graduated at the top of his class from the Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design in 2013. He was recruited directly from school as an Engineer, and quickly rose to the position of Senior Engineer for Back Cove Yachts in Maine. Joshua went on to become Director of Service Operations for Coastal Carolina Yacht Sales in Charleston. At Coastal Carolina, he successfully led the development of a new service department, hired staff to complete work on new and used boats from 23’-66’, and reduced outside labor. In 2020, Joshua joined Scout Boats, managing the engineering team for their Yacht Division, producing 40+ units per year ranging from $1m to $3.6m. He grew the Yacht Division technical team, including the development of a new electrical shop to aid in vertical integration, saving significant vendor costs annually. Joshua is the founder and CEO of Revel Yachts, an OEM who is building their new 44' yacht with Lyman-Morse in Maine. He is a certified Master Marine Surveyor with USSA (United States Surveyors Association). Joshua currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina with his wife, and two children.
