Our Story
Baynz Marine LLC is a San Diego-based private asset management firm specialising in yacht management, crew recruitment, estate services, and bespoke global yacht charters — founded by a career maritime professional who has lived the work firsthand.
Captain Denzil Baynes
Founder & Managing Director
The Founder
Captain Denzil Baynes began his maritime career in 2008, working his way through every level of professional yachting — from deckhand to senior Captain — across private and charter vessels operating in the world's most demanding waters.
Over nearly two decades, Captain Baynes developed deep expertise not only in vessel operations and crew management, but in the broader world of luxury estate management — working alongside ultra-high-net-worth families to oversee properties, staff, and the full spectrum of private asset operations.
In 2021, he founded Baynz Marine LLC in San Diego to bring that experience to a wider clientele — offering the kind of hands-on, personally accountable service that only comes from someone who has done the work at every level.
Today, Captain Baynes leads every client engagement personally, ensuring that the standards of professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail that define Baynz Marine are never delegated.
