I have an extensive career in the marine industry that has evolved from working in boat yards to managing a boat dealership representing major boat lines such as Boston Whaler, Jupiter, Donzi and Pacemaker Yachts for 35 + years. I am also instrumental in importing and distributing the Nord Star power boats in the US which has led the way to becoming a Yacht broker to represent clients finding that right boat. No matter if it is down east, trawler, cruiser or a sailboat I can find or market that boat for that discerning buyer.
