Bill Cook
Bill Cook began his maritime career running sportfishing yachts in New Jersey. While earning his degree in business management he developed his love of being on the water into a source of income by racing sailboats professionally and delivering yachts up and down the east coast.
He acquired his USCG Merchant Marine License in 1983. His love of boating led him up through the ranks to run yachts up to 200'. He has made multiple Atlantic crossings. While still in college, he started his own business which he grew into a successful venture that he sold 7 years later. He used the proceeds from the sale of that business to fund 3 years of cruising in the Caribbean, Baltic and Mediterranean. After cruising (spearfishing for dinner and drinking rum drinks), Bill and his wife made the Cayman Islands their home where they lived for 15 years.
In Cayman, Bill owned and operated Yachts Offshore, a service oriented yacht brokerage and management company. There he catered to an international clientele who he helped purchase, sell and operate yachts up to 200' He now uses his decades of experience to help client/friends sell their boats and find their next "perfect boat".
Bill now lives in St Augustine FL with his wife and their two Australian Shepherds (Bean and Cali). He still loves boating, fishing and diving. Bill is driven by his passion for customer service. Whether you are buying your first boat or are a seasoned boater, he revels in helping clients find just the right boat for their boating needs and ensures you are confident in your purchase and comfortable in taking the helm to safely enjoy your new yacht.
