Northrop & Johnson Yacht Broker Robert B. Petrina has been an avid boater since his youth. He began working as a deckhand in 1996 on a 44-foot Pacifica. He continued working on boats as he attended the Maritime Institute and subsequently Orange Coast college.

Robert soon took on the role of captain, running larger and larger fishing boats along the west coast of the US up to Alaska and down into Central America. Most recently, Robert captained a 121-foot Nordlund motor yacht that cruised between Juneau, Alaska, and Costa Rica.
Robert has fished in more than 40 professional marlin tournaments throughout his career, winning seven of the tournaments and placing in 12. He has completed numerous yacht deliveries and assisted in re-powers and retrofits. Robert is an extremely knowledgeable sportsfisherman. His years of working on and running sportsfishing vessels have made him a veritable expert. Furthermore, he has a deep understanding of the yachts required for both professional sportsfishing and novice sportsfishing as well as cruising yachts.
