Looking for the Right Boat?

Not just any boat โ€” the right boat. I help buyers navigate the market, avoid mistakes, and find a vessel that actually fits how they sail.

Why You Want Someone in Your Corner

Buying a boat is overwhelming. YachtWorld has 50,000 listings. Every broker wants to sell you something. Half the boats are overpriced, and the other half have problems you won't see until after you've paid.

I'm not here to sell you a boat. I'm here to help you find the right one โ€” and to tell you when something isn't right, even if it means walking away.

Think of me as a knowledgeable friend who happens to be a licensed captain and yacht broker. Someone who's been on hundreds of boats and knows what to look for.

What I Bring to Your Search

๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Captain's Eye on Sea Trials

I'm a USCG 100-ton captain. When we take a boat out, I'm evaluating it the way a sailor does โ€” systems, handling, what's been maintained and what's been neglected.

โ›ต I Know Boats

Sail and power. From J/boats to motor yachts, I've delivered them up and down the coast. I understand what matters for performance, comfort, and resale.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Honest Assessment

I'll tell you if a boat isn't worth the price. I'll point out the problems. My reputation matters more than any single commission.

๐Ÿ“‹ Full Transaction Support

Offer strategy, survey coordination, negotiation, closing paperwork. I handle the complexity so you can focus on the boat. Need delivery or training after purchase? I do that too.

I Look Where Others Don't

When I evaluate a boat for you, I'm checking what matters โ€” engine rooms, systems, maintenance history, what's been done right and what's been deferred.

I've spent 15+ years on the water. I know what breaks.
