We’re Zach and Alex Plaud—brothers, marine service guys, and the duo behind Buoy‑Yeah.com.

We didn’t grow up on yachts or spend our childhoods sailing. Instead, we worked in the marine industry—detailing boats, crawling under hulls, and wrapping them tight before New England winters. And after enough time in this business, we noticed something that always bugged us: marine gear is way more expensive than it needs to be.

Big box marine stores are loaded with markups, and most of the time, the people selling the gear have never used it on a job. So we decided to do something about it.

That’s where Buoy‑Yeah comes in. It's our way of helping boaters Bust Out Another Thousand… in savings, not in headaches.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• Marine gear picked by people who’ve actually used it on the job
• No fluff, no overpriced junk—just stuff that works
• A membership club with free shipping, discounts, and giveaways
• An online forum where boaters and pros swap tips, not sales pitches
• A growing network of trusted marine service providers you can actually hire

We’re not some giant company or faceless brand. We’re two guys who worked the yards and built this from scratch to help people like you get the most from your boat without wasting your money.
