Floatplan is hosted by Matt Maynard and Tim Boyle—two people who spend a lot of time around boats and a lot of time talking through what actually comes with owning them. Drawing on experience in yacht brokerage, finance-related work, and years of personal ownership, the show explores the excitement, the surprises, the trade-offs, and the second-guessing that tend to show up once the boat is real. The conversations are candid, practical, and grounded in lived experience. Topics include buying and upgrading, refits, custom builds, long-term ownership considerations, and the moments where enjoyment, timing, and personal priorities collide. This isn’t theory—it’s the kind of perspective that comes up dockside, in the yard, and on the trip home after a big summer cruise. Floatplan is for people who love boats and are interested in hearing how others think about ownership over time. Whether you’re stepping into a larger boat for the first time or well into the lifecycle already, the show focuses on sharing perspective, asking better questions, and learning from people who’ve been there. Floatplan offers a thoughtful, experience-based look at life with boats—for listeners who care about the realities of ownership and enjoying the ride along the way.
