Meet Kim & Sea Saw

The Story Behind Sea Saw

Kim shares the story of how Sea Saw got her name—

and why she decided to keep it.

The Legendary Chanticleer

Chanticleer comes from the proud, clear-voiced rooster of classic literature—a fitting name for a yacht with such a commanding presence.

The yacht’s history is closely tied to beloved singer and actress Frances Langford and her husband, Ralph Evinrude. Ralph’s original yacht carried the name Chanticleer, and life aboard her became a cherished part of their years together.

Wake Turbulence Tale

Why name a boat Wake Turbulence? Its owner is an airline captain, so the name brings his life in the air onto the water. ✈️🌊
