Biography
Denton Douglas is the founder of Monarch Yachts, a Florida-headquartered builder of custom yachts. Born in St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica, he launched Monarch Yachts on his birthday in 2013 (Boating).
Each Monarch yacht is customizable down to the stitching, and Douglas is part of the entire process: selecting finishes, refining layouts and tailoring each element to the owner's vision. He serves as the client's sole point of contact from the first appointment to final delivery (Boating).
A Munro College graduate, he received a track scholarship to Howard University in 1988 and worked on Wall Street for years before moving into boatbuilding some 20 years ago. Monarch began operations in China and now operates two plants in Turkey (Jamaica Observer).
