Our Story
Meet the McDonalds
James and Amanda met (and fell in loveeee) at Skull Creek Marina on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. After working together for a few months, we met up at Wild Wing Cafe after work one day and haven't left each others' side since. We worked as a team running the marina, until one day a 112-foot yacht pulled in for fuel and offered us both a job. We took the job and moved from South Carolina to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We now work together to run the yacht for the owners and have traveled to the Bahamas, Chesapeake Bay, and Maine! We are exited to see where God leads us throughout our journey together. We know wherever we may go, we will always have each other right by our side.
Amanda
Amanda graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and moved to South Carolina to start working at Mermaid of Hilton Head in the summer of 2022. In pursuing her career in the Maritime Industry, she started working at Safe Harbor Skull Creek in the summer of 2023 which is where she met James!
James
James graduated from the University of South Carolina in the Fall of 2021. After working at Broad Creek Marina, as a dockhand, every summer since his junior year of high school, James wanted to pursue a career in the Maritime Industry. James became the Assitant Dockmaster of Safe Harbor Skull Creek in the Fall of 2021. Then James got an opportunity to work on a 130-foot yacht named Beach Girl in February of 2023. James did not enjoy that opportunity, and returned to Safe Harbor Skull Creek, but this time as the Dockmaster in April of 2023. He returned just in time to meet Amanda who started in July!
