Brandon Ricci
I have been in and around boats for most of my life. I began my career in yachting as a young adult, working for a full-service marina in Macatawa, MI starting in 1999. After a few winters of painting bottoms and waxing hull sides, I decided to migrate south during the winter periods to further my career in Florida and the Caribbean. I held a professional crew position aboard a 114' motor yacht, cruising to several ports in the West Indies. The following winter season I began my 100-ton Captain's License studies and worked with mega-yachts (both sail and power) in the port of Ft. Lauderdale.
Returning to Michigan each spring, I learned the ropes of sailboat rigging. My passion for providing outstanding customer service matured during the ten years I served as the parts and service manager at the very place my career began. It is this passion that helped me to decide to enter the next chapter of my professional life; yacht brokerage.
Yacht brokerage is a people business. I do not take lightly, the importance of developing and maintaining strong customer relationships. I look forward to serving those that I have known, as well as those that I will be privileged to meet.
