I am a seasoned yacht and ship broker with extensive hands-on experience in all facets of yacht ownership and operation. My expertise covers maintenance, performance, handling, dockage, liveaboard considerations, cruising grounds, and insurance.

My cruising experience spans the Eastern Seaboard, Florida’s east and west coasts, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
