Brian has been selling boats with BVI Yacht Sales since 2009, when he moved to the BVI having sold his yacht rigging business based in Annapolis MD. Brian grew up in a sailing family, racing Opti and 420 as a child, progressing to sailing keelboats and right out of high school took off on a 24’ Sloop to explore and learn the world of yachting. Working variously as a rigger, captain, carpenter, electrician and diver he acquired a wide range of skills relevant to his career in yachting, and applies all this to help USA & Caribbean yacht owners through the process of preparing their vessel for sale and actively seeking the right buyer to get the best possible sale, over and over again. Brian’s philosophy is that selling boats is about providing information to buyers accurately and transparently so that deals go smooth, and buyers become sellers again later through good relationships.
