If Tequila is Number Juan, Then Neoprene Must Be Number Two

Dr. Henner's fleet of yachts in Los Cabos is the stuff of legend. We went aboard to find out what happens when a Wisconsin dairy farm kid becomes a yacht owner.

The fleet is anchored in Los Cabos, and it is not subtle. Four yachts, each with a name that tells a story: Neoprene, a 108-foot black Mangusta — the largest and most distinctive of the fleet. Number Juan, a 100-foot Azimut Jumbo, named for the high-end boutique tequila company in which owner Dr. Henner is also partnered. Heather Nikki, an 80-foot Azimut, the original boat, named for his wife. And Olivia Grace, a 60-foot Viking Princess, named after his daughter adopted from a local orphanage.

These are not just boats. They are chapters in a life story that nobody could have predicted.

From the Dairy Farm to the Open Water

Dr. Henner grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. The farm taught him work ethic, entrepreneurship, and compassion — but also made clear that dairy farming was not his destiny. He joined the military, studied medicine at Midwestern University in Chicago, trained in emergency medicine at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and finished his military career at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. Then he bought an emergency medicine company.

"One of the reasons I have this company is that I didn't have any other focus other than work for a long, long time."

A board-certified emergency medicine physician and entrepreneur, Dr. Henner built the kind of career that creates choices. He chose Los Cabos. He chose yachts. He chose a life that looks, from the outside, like the definition of having made it — and from the inside, he'll tell you, feels exactly like that too.

The Tequila Connection

Number Juan tequila is the other half of the Cabos story. The brand embodies the same philosophy as the fleet: quality, specificity, and a refusal to settle for ordinary. When you're running a 100-foot yacht named after your tequila brand, the branding has clearly worked.
