Meet Bakari Christopher Adderley

Born and raised in the stunning islands of The Bahamas, I grew up surrounded by the sea — a place that became both my playground and my purpose. My passion for the water led me into the world of boat and yacht detailing, where I’ve found a meaningful career rooted in craftsmanship, precision, and pride.

My journey hasn’t been a straight line. As a U.S. Marine Corps Honor Graduate, I learned discipline and grit in ways that continue to shape who I am. One defining moment? Helping a fellow recruit push through bootcamp when he nearly gave up — something that still reminds me why leadership matters.

I believe growth happens outside of your comfort zone. Whether it’s learning new skills hands-on, staying in touch with mentors, or setting goals that require real discipline, I’m committed to building a life that reflects my values: family, hard work, and humility.

Inspired by my father and uncle — both successful entrepreneurs — I’m working toward a future where I can give back, live comfortably, and support my community. Volunteering with organizations like Hands For Hunger has shown me the impact small actions can have. That’s the kind of legacy I want to leave.
