Michael Mandel
Michael's passion for life on the water began while growing up in California, shaping a career that has spanned well over two decades in the yachting industry. Based in Florida for over 40 years, Michael has spent more than half of that time as a top-producing yacht broker, as well as serving in senior management roles with respected brands such as Sunseeker, Fairline, and his own brokerage, 1 World Yachts.
Specializing in motor yachts and trawlers ranging from 50' to 120', Michael brings extensive market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and a client-focused approach to every transaction. He is known for providing ethical, transparent guidance while ensuring the buying and selling process remains both efficient and enjoyable.
Throughout his career, Michael has built long-standing relationships with clients and industry professionals alike-many of whom have become lifelong friends. He is proud to bring his experience, integrity, and passion for yachting to YSI, where he continues to deliver exceptional service to discerning buyers and sellers.
