How it all began
It all began five years ago at a boat show where Anthony Burns, on a quest for a modest center console, somehow ended up impulsively purchasing an 88-foot Italian motor yacht named Zen. Fate brought Anthony and James Carter together at that very show, where they bonded over shared interests in boating and technology. Over the next couple of years, as their friendship flourished, Anthony, fueled by the frustration of unreliable service providers, reached out to James, who boasted a background in both boating and IT.
One day, Anthony dialed up James, saying, “We need a tech-savvy solution to the chaos in the marine service industry. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could set up cameras to catch service providers in the act, ensuring they actually show up and do the work?” A bottle of tequila deep into the conversation (while lounging on Zen, of course), the whimsical idea evolved into something more tangible. Thus, over laughter, camaraderie, and the clinking of glasses, the duo conceived WAVE, a revolutionary on-demand marine service app that would forever change the way boat owners connect with service providers. The rest, as they say, is a tale of friendship, innovation, and a little bit of liquid inspiration.
