The search continues... - "The Northwest Passage" Film
Times are Changing
More than ever, yacht owners and captains are on the hunt for new, and exciting cruising grounds. From the tropical island-magic of the Indian and South Pacific Oceans, to the icy rugged waters of the Arctic surrounding Canada, Iceland and Norway.

As an up-and-coming, award-winning filmmaker, with his eyes (and lens) set on the horizon, Shelton envisioned an unmet need in the industry. In early 2017 , he launched LuxuryYachtFilms.com.
