About Us

Hi there! I’m Tiff. I put the “iff” in Team Wiff. Actually, it was my “what iff” question that led us to liveaboard for 5 years. Now we live on the road in a retired ambulance (not my idea), but I love it. Traveling brings me an incredible sense of peace and joy, as does being on the water. I grew up in Southern Maryland boating every Summer. Now that our “home base” is in Florida, we have year-round boating! I was never the most adventurous or flexible person until I met Will… but now, I couldn’t imagine living the typical “American Dream,” ew.

Hey. I’m Will, a US Marine Corps Combat Veteran turned beach bum and boat junky. Born in DC and raised in Southern Maryland, I actually wasn’t surrounded by boats like Tiff. My love for the water didn’t develop until we moved to SWFL, but I quickly made up for the 20+ years lost, and have fully immersed myself in all things SaltLife. In fact, I’m now studying to become a marine surveyor and I’ve been a full-time marine mechanic/repair man for our fleet for the past 5 years. I have a lot of wild ideas that I pitch to my lovely wife on a daily basis. To my surprise, she’s said “yes” to most of them, even when I asked her to marry me while on a jet ski in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Hmmm… what other crazy things can I convince her to do…

On November 17, 2012, I was born on Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina. I was the last in my litter to be adopted, because no one could handle my high level of energy. Well almost no one… there was a kitten-less cat lady in Maryland who clearly needed me in her life. So, I was presented to her as a gift. They named me Turbo, because of my impressive fast and high-flying hunting tactics. I could go on forever, but as I got older… I chose not too. Now I get satisfaction out of picking on my smaller, older brother Ryback, and bullying the humans until they grant me my massage. My favorite activities include eating and sleeping. I am working on learning how to do both at the same time. Be sure to check back on my progress.

I am a rescue cat from the backwoods of North Carolina. My previous owners (and neighbors to Will), left me for dead when they adopted a new mutt and took off to Ohio. So one rainy night, I was crying on the back porch, and Will lured me in with a bowl of chopped up hot dogs. I took a couple hours to warm up to him, but we were inseparable afterwards. Well kind of. I was an outdoor cat, so I enjoyed going and playing with my farm friends, but I would always come back… sometimes with a few battle scars from fighting chickens and raccoons. Hence, why I am named after the biggest baddest wrestler of that time period. Now, I am a relaxed boat cat, but I still enjoy some exploration from time-to-time. Even if against my parent’s will.

Heyy. I’m “Bo” – I know, kind of a lame name for a converted ambulance. But, you see, Team Wiff lived on a boat for 5 years before me. Out of habit, they kept calling me a boat. That’s how “bo” stuck as my name. Anyways, the majority of my life was spent in Tallahassee, FL, saving lives and such. Then I sat for dead in a lot until these young wiffersnappers bought me and spent 7 months tearing out my insides and rebuilding me to be their home on wheels. I’m excited to see new places and faces. Most of the faces I’ve seen so far have a look of confusion. Haven’t they ever seen an ambulance before?

I’m Cora-D. Named after Will’s grandmother, which just so happens to have a nice flow with C-Dory (that’s my manufacturer). No, not Cape Dory, C-Dory is a whole different company, unrelated. Try explaining that to the old salts of the sea and you’ll see why I don’t even bother anymore. Why do I look so rough in this photo? Well, I’m in the boatyard where Team Wiff is doing a “minor” refit on me. That’s what they called it at least. Seems pretty major to me, but I’m happy to finally be getting some love. I mean, check out my new dark sunglasses. 😎

I am a 1999 SeaRay 480 Sedan Bridge with twin Caterpillar diesel engines. I go fast and I look good. That’s what won me over in Team Wiff’s eyes. I’m sporty on the outside and have a luxurious touch on the inside, including three comfy staterooms, two heads, and a spacious engine room where I flex my muscle. I was super stoked to chauffeur Team Wiff and the cats around for 3 years, but then I started to be a pain in the a$$, or that’s what I gathered from our engine room convos at least. Oh well, they took really good care of me and I’m sad to see them go. We had fun times in the keys and SWFL. Off to the east coast of Florida I go! (again)

Sup. I’m Rumrunner an ole’ 13.5ft Boston Whaler Rage. When I was born, I was assigned the identity of a jet boat, but now, I identify as an outboard mini-sportfishing boat. People have said great things about my superior bloodline all my life, but ever since my trailer broke and Wiff had to drag me 250 miles on a gimp trailer, they haven’t said anything about me that should even be repeated out loud. I’m not sure they were convinced I’d make a good family car. But I think I turned out alright.

I am a 1988 Bluewater Yachts Coastal Cruiser, which makes me older than Team Wiff! I am 51 feet not including my platform or lift, and I can comfortably host almost 36 people, not that we tried. In my younger days, I cruised the Great Loop, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. But while with Team Wiff I mostly sat at the docks, since my engines and insides gave them so many issues. I loved Team Wiff for all the hard work they put into making me look and feel good on the inside. They couldn’t help my outward appearance much, but hey, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, right? My hailing port was the party town of Fort Myers Beach, FL, where I served as the dock queen/floating home to Wiff and Rybo until Feb 2018, when they sold me and I was shipped off to San Francisco, CA via 18-wheeler. I have to admit there were pretty cool sights along the way.

Sup! I’m a 2015 Yamaha FX Cruiser SVHO supercharged and capable of almost 70mph. Team Wiff put a sweet JL audio system and new exhaust on me right before they sold me. I used to be the most sea worthy in the fleet, with the most sea time. That was until RumHaven came around and I spent most of my time in the garage. That’s alright, I know I’m missed. Did I mention I helped them get engaged on their way back from the Bahamas? Pretty sure that makes me the favorite forever. Love you guys. Yours truly, WW.

Well hello. I’m ‘nana Rum, a 12′ aluminum jon boat with 9.9hp old-school Evinrude motor. They found me on Craigslist and feel in love with my bright yellow bod. They didn’t seem to like the way I stalled out when not going full throttle, and crashing into everything. Therefore, they sold me off and went to tie up to some stinkin’ dock. Weird, I know. They did wish me well as they sold me to a nice guy from South America who said I’d be a mighty fine boat overseas, we’ll see.

I am a collapsible 12ft’ Portaboat that is driven by human propulsion (rowing oars) while awaiting to be refit with a new motor. I was the tender to M/V Wiffersnapper, before they sold her. Now they have some new fancy boat and new dinghies… what’s up with that?? Oh did I mention that I have a hole in my butt that takes on water while at sea? Cool… I know. — Wait, why does my Craigslist post say SOLD??!?
