You will also be required to sign a subcontractor agreement that includes confidentiality, customer non-solicitation and other provisions. Opportunity to Grow Swift Marine Yacht Management is continuing to expand throughout the marine industry. In addition to diving and hull cleaning, we provide yacht detailing, yacht management, fiberglass and gelcoat repair, mechanical services, electrical services, HVAC and other yacht-maintenance services.
