Our Team

Cameron Hughes is the founder of de Negoce wines! As a négociant (wine trader), we don’t own vineyards or a winery – our focus is on purely finding the best wines and negotiating the best price for our customers. Through deep connections built over decades, we have access to top wineries and producers all over the world. We look in every cellar and barrel room, and peek behind every door that says “Employees Only.” Sometimes we buy wine still in the barrel, and other times we buy “shiners” (wine already in a bottle with no label). Regardless of how we get it, the mission is simple: buy the best possible wine at the best possible price.

Capt. Takoda Fletcher is a graduate of California Maritime Academy with a background in private yacht management and a deep love of the ocean! I started sailing when I was just 12 years old as an intern for a small sailing company, fast forward a few years and I have gotten the chance to sail around the world, received advanced maritime training at one of the nations premier maritime academies and worked on several different luxury yachts. Onboard M/Y de Negoce my central goal is client safety and giving you the best possible charter experience! Me and my crew will go above and beyond to serve you, give you a truly incredible experience and make sure your time onboard our vessel is truly unforgettable!
