AMIkids Yacht Donation Program

6,000 Yachts, 50 years.

A wonderful Friendship

by Jorge Mahauad | Dec 01, 2020

Thanks to Blade Hovekamp and  Bruce Tait for a wonderful working relationship and friendship. Tait Yachts is one of the yacht brokerage houses with the most number of donations to AMIkids in the past few years.

It is only fitting, that his last contribution to our yacht donation program is this 40' 2008 Friendship. The factory says it all in a very short but elegant way:

"Impeccably designed, fast, beyond gorgeous, and built to an absolutely unmatched quality of perfection".

Like the friendship between Tait Yachts and AMIkids, this sloop is built to win the thoughest races with grace.

"We always knew about AMIkids, but in 2019 I became involved in a transaction and took an interest to learn about the work various schools do. It struck me —supporting AMIkids is a way in which I can pay-back.

I got involved in helping kids in rough environments make better choices and get on a better route to success. I was happy to be invited to join the board of trustees and help contribute in the ways that I can."

— Neil Emmott, Partner at Superyacht Sales and Charter
