About James Roy

With an extensive background in marina management and the marine industry, I have had the honour of serving as the Marina Director at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore since 2019. This esteemed marina stands as one of the most prominent and thriving marinas in Asia. Prior to my current role, I had the privilege of working in the Middle East, including notable locations such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Throughout my impressive 13-year tenure in the Middle East, I have garnered a solid reputation for my ability to develop and implement innovative strategies and services within the marina industry. I am deeply committed to continuously improving and elevating the standard of customer service across all marinas under my purview. I take immense pride in fostering a culture of excellence and exceeding customer expectations. My profound passion for sailing has been an integral part of my life since early on. During my formative years, I dedicated a significant portion of my time to sailing and participating in exhilarating races throughout Europe. To further broaden my horizons and enhance my skills, I embarked on multiple seasons aboard Superyachts, traversing the waters of both Europe and North America. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of the intricacies of sailing but also exposed me to diverse international sailing communities and their unique challenges. Prior to embarking on my journey to the Middle East, I honed my expertise as a Sailmaker and concurrently served as a part-time fleet manager for one of the largest charter fleets on the South Coast. This valuable experience provided me with valuable insights into the operational aspects of managing a fleet and ensuring the seamless coordination of sailing activities. In my role as the Marina Director, I bring together my wealth of experience, knowledge, and unwavering commitment to deliver unparalleled marina services. I embrace the opportunity to collaborate with marina staff, yachting enthusiasts, and stakeholders to create an environment that fosters growth, innovation, and exceptional customer experiences. By integrating my deep understanding of marina management, passion for sailing, and dedication to customer service, I strive to elevate the overall marina experience and contribute to the success of the marine industry as a whole.
