I represent yacht buyers in South Florida who want one number to call, not a directory of brokers. My focus is direct builder access — current model years, in-stock inventory, and custom orders matched to how you'll actually use the boat — backed by broker-network relationships when a brokerage vessel is the smarter fit.
If you've already done your research, I can save you the next six months. If you haven't, I can save you from buying the wrong boat.
Not sure where to start?
Tell us your range and how you'll use the boat. We'll search the live yacht market plus the off-market network and reply within 24 hours with three to five vessels worth your time.
The truth about yacht ownership.
Four numbers the listing brochures won't tell you.
A $2M yacht costs $200–300K per year to run — fuel, marina, insurance, maintenance, captain, crew. We model it for you before you make an offer, not after.
A SAMS- or NAMS-certified marine survey is the difference between a $1.5M deal and a $500K mistake. Hidden osmosis, delamination, engine wear — they all show up. We never skip this step.
Most motor yachts lose 15–25% in the first three years, then flatten. Buying a 4–6 year old vessel from a reputable yard captures that depreciation without sacrificing reliability.
Pocket listings, distressed sellers, pre-public reductions — they move through broker networks, not public search. Our relationships in South Florida give you access most search-driven buyers never see.
