About Nautical Luxuries

showroomIn 1990, International Crew was established in one of the world’s most beautiful ports, Newport Beach, California. The company’s inaugural line of nautical Christmas cards with stunning photographic images by photographer Heather Niblo became its hallmark, and was quickly embraced by nautical enthusiasts nationwide.

The Nautical Luxuries Catalog and NauticalLuxuries.com Website, both launched in 2000, were created in response to a decade of enthusiastic inquiries from consumers with an unrelenting eye for quality products that embodied the nautical/coastal lifestyle.

In 2002, International Crew Nautical Luxuries relocated to the super yacht capital of Fort Lauderdale, building a loyal following of yachting and coastal decor enthusiasts and rapidly outgrowing its warehouse! Exceeding capacity to grow, the company returned to Southern California two years later.

With an expanded warehouse and showroom in Irvine, and a growing national and international customer base, Nautical Luxuries' owner, DJ Cathcart, continued to enhance the company's product line, maintaining the same insistence on quality, appreciation of luxury, and a penchant for playing on the ocean.

Through her creative vision, and extensive, ongoing product research, DJ developed the most comprehensive collection of unique, high quality nautical and coastal themed gift and decor items available anywhere.

"When a customer makes a selection from Nautical Luxuries, they know they're acquiring a beautiful, unique item that not only reflects their personal passion for life by the water but also will become a valued addition to their home, or a treasured gift for anyone who shares their passion for the sea."

Nineteen years later, a new wind has had unprecedented impact on businesses worldwide. Here at Nautical Luxuries, we too have felt the compelling need to change tacks and catch a new breeze. Wth the undying enthusiasm that only personal passion can fuel, I'm moving the business forward exclusively online.

With each new website visitor, and every new online customer, the word is spreading about Nautical Luxuries'
unique collection. I'm enjoying introducing my latest home and yacht decor finds as well as sharing my thoughts, ideas,
and coastal living experiences with this growing community through the Nautical Luxuries Blog. I invite everyone who enjoys
the Nautical Luxuries collection and shares my own passion for the sea, to participate, spread the word, and come back again
soon to see what fabulous, new coastal/nautical items I've discovered.
