Peggy Crotty

Owner of Kokomo Charters and Kokomo Yacht Club 

Peggy Crotty and her husband were young empty-nesters in Palm Beach County for the past several years. They decided to move to Sarasota and fell in love with the beaches, the waters of Sarasota Bay and the vibrant, expanding lifestyles in the region. 

While searching to purchase their own luxury boat, Peggy found an opportunity in purchasing an existing business, Kokomo Charters. She took over the business and saw immediate success with many happy clients. 

Kokomo Charters is redefining luxury boating on the Gulf Coast. As the region’s premier luxury boat charter service, the company offers a diverse fleet of unmarked, high-end day boats and yachts with top-tier amenities captained by a US Coast Guard certified captain. Clients can choose from vessels suited for thrilling speed or serene days on the water, ensuring the perfect adventure for anyone looking to get on the water. 

“We hit the ground running and within three months we realized we needed additional luxury vessels, so we bought our 50’ three-story yacht, ‘Memory Maker.’ Since then, we have expanded the fleet throughout Sarasota and are expanding into St. Petersburg. We now have a fleet of six vessels and have contracted to build our own custom yachts to expand the business,” said Peggy. 

In addition to the charter business, Peggy and her husband are redefining boating with the creation of Kokomo Yacht Club—Sarasota’s first luxury boat club for discerning mariners. It is an annual membership club where members have access to the entire fleet of day boats, yachts, and a sailing catamaran. All vessels are captained, so members can experience the pure joy of boating without any of the hassles or headaches of boat ownership.

“It is very fulfilling to be back into the business world, building two amazing businesses, and providing a world-class offering to our Gulf Coast.”
