AME Strengthens Key Maritime Relationships at FLIBS
Building Bonds in Recreational Yachting: Our primary focus at FLIBS was reinforcing the core relationships that drive the maritime industry forward. By walking the miles of docks, we had the invaluable opportunity to meet face-to-face with clients, shipyard managers, captains, and industry leaders. Discussions centered on the latest trends in yacht management, propulsion systems, and predictive maintenance. These interactions are crucial for both building new relationships and maintaining the long-standing partnerships that have defined AME for decades. Our commitment to supporting the global recreational yachting community ensures we remain aligned with the evolving needs of the world’s most prestigious yachts, boats, and their teams.
The energy at FLIBS was electric, reflecting the robust thriving industry. We are proud to play our part in dynamic maritime engineering support that keeps vessels performing optimally and safely.
MIASF Leadership Perspective
We are honored to have the support of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) and look forward to sharing their insights on the show.
AME continues to make a strong impact across the marine industry. As a respected industry voice, AME proudly serves as a judge for the Innovation Awards at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
AME’s commitment to community and education is equally noteworthy. Christine leads with purpose, heading the Sea The World program at Junior Achievement and serving for many years as emcee of the Plywood Regatta, inspiring students to explore marine careers.
Rich, AME’s founder, extends this dedication through his service on the MIASF Board of Directors and longstanding mentorship within the Plywood Regatta. He also contributes to the Yacht Service Technician Apprenticeship Program, sharing his expertise in vibration analysis and other technical topics with apprentices.
Together, Christine and Rich demonstrate AME’s unwavering dedication to industry leadership, workforce development, and giving back, both on and off the water.
