Having spent the better part of my life in the marine industry, and 27 years as a yacht broker and sales representative, I have gained the knowledge that gives me the ability to make your dream of yacht ownership come true. In reality, we sell dreams. I understand very well that a yacht is not a necessity, or a financial investment, but it is an investment in quality of life. In most cases a purchase of a yacht is the fulfillment of years of thought and persistent planning.

 

A great deal of time and personal effort is spent finding the yacht that best fulfills the style of yacht that will best fit your personal desires. There is more to a purchase than type and price. As a buyer you must feel good about what you are buying.

 

My promise to a buyer or seller is to give the best service that I can offer. This is where years of experience in the marine industry count. You need questions answered in a competent manner. You need to fully understand the process that goes into the purchase of a yacht. You need to understand what options you have in deliveries, adding additional equipment, repairs, the right surveyors, trucking when necessary and each step that leads to the ultimate goal of yacht ownership.

 

I have devoted my professional life to working with sincere buyers in both power and sailing yacht. During my years as Vice President of Hans Christian Yachts I was in charge of quality control, coordinated international sales and shipping, and many other responsibilities that gave me the background necessary to deliver quality product to buyers. I have worked with may top designers, builders, and equipment vendors. My 20 years with the Orange County Sheriff’s Marine division was a great learning experience of how “Murphy’s Law” can affect a yacht owner.

 

The purchase of any yacht should be a fun and fulfilling process. In this website I have offered outlines of both buying and selling yachts that should be helpful to buyers and sellers. Take a moment and go over them. Even if you have bought and sold yachts in the past, it is good to refresh your understanding of the entire process of purchasing a yacht in California, and other areas..
