As a native born and raised in South Florida, I was a professional captain for over twenty years; delivering and operating yachts of all types throughout the North American coast and Caribbean, as well as film, salvage and celebrity work (read discretion and confidentiality skills). Of particular interest was my position for three seasons as the boat fleet manager for the Miami Vice TV series (remember Elvis the alligator?) and seven years as personal captain to Mr. Julio Iglesias. Like every competent captain, I spent a whole lot of time participating and directing countless yacht refits and repairs.
I began brokering full-time around 12 years ago as a natural extension to my yachting career. Actually, I started with larger used yachts (100' plus) and gradually began to focus on the mid-sized used yachts for sale. Since I have accumulated a variety of experience handling all types of new and used motoryacht sales - from express boats like Sunseekers and Sea Rays, to sport fishers, to larger yachts such as Kuipers, Delta, Broward, Westbay, etc - I can offer intelligent, hands-on advice. Recently I achieved the (CPYB)Certified Professional Yacht Broker status - a relatively new program that will be industry standard in the future. Comparable to other professional certifications, one has to possess and maintain excellent working knowledge of domestic and international maritime law, transaction issues, yacht knowledge and sublime ethic issues in order to become certified. My sales record and satisfied customers (see the Testimonial link on my website) speak for themselves. A great deal of my energy is spent providing after sales service to my cruising customers. Thus whether selling or buying a yacht - I can handle all your yachting needs. And since I only work with a few, select clients at any given time, you can be assured the best possible service!
