Sea Bold Portraits Turns Your Yacht Photos Into Phenomenal Art

Like many of you, Sandy Giameo grew up boating. In fact, she spent many a summer on her grandfather’s boat, cruising the Jersey Shore. His boat, The Big Spender, wasn’t a superyacht—she was a 38-foot (11.6-meter) Bayliner—but it didn’t matter. The memories are some of Giameo’s fondest memories, and they’re the inspiration behind her company, Sea Bold Portraits. Giameo and several artists she personally selects will transform a photo of your yacht into a painting.

In fact, using your choice of pastel paints or charcoal, Sea Bold Portraits creates gallery-worthy art complete with a mat and frame. Additionally, the artists are adept at combining photos into one finished piece. This is especially suitable, for example, for those of you with years-old images of a yacht no longer in your family’s possession.

Learn more about Sea Bold Portraits—including how not having a photo is no problem—in the June 2025 Megayacht News newsletter. A subscriber-only benefit, our newsletter features stories you won’t find here on our daily website. So, for example, besides learning Giameo’s capabilities, you’ll be introduced to Capt. Hugo Ortega. This native New Yorker worked his way to the helm within nine years without knowing a thing about yachting. He’s helping others do the same, through Superyacht Sunday School.

Also among our newsletter stories, we share insight into the inroads AI is making in yachting, and why one especially important development is alarming. Furthermore, we provide information on last-minute charter availability for one of the world’s most famous yachts. There’s an update on a major refit of an American-built megayacht, too. Finally, we give you inside information on articles we’re publishing soon on Megayacht News.
