With a typical layout with four guest suites and three crew quarters with two galleys and 7 heads, yachts can be considered six bedroom condos at sea. Yet, unlike your beach house, one month your yacht may be in Spain and the next you may be in Florida and how, then, does the yacht handle the conversion in power? Well, yachts can be outfitted with transforming units that enable vessels to plug into 50 hertz or 60 hertz of shore side power. Some examples... Read More

The world of yachting is vast and can be confusing. There is a lot of unique terminology to help make sense out of all the unique aspects and things around yachts. As the yachts get larger, and especially when owners start to consider chartering their yacht, safety classifications become increasingly important when choosing your next yacht. There are lots of classifications from around the world. Lloyd's of London has a safety classification that yachts can obtain.

Although the docks were quiet on Thursday and Friday due to poor weather, serious buyers still showed up looking for deals before the summer boating season. As always, much of the crowd was foreign, but we were happy to see that American buyers were also on the docks... Read More

Built in 2005, "Savannah Ann" is a 78' Marlow Explorer for sale in South Florida. Savannah Ann is by far one of the most photographed vessels in all of South Florida.  Sitting majestically broadside to Las Olas Boulevard, passersbys get the full view of this stately pilothouse motor yacht.  Her Portuguese forward deck and lapstrake hull features separate her from the typical bland production boat look. As soon as you step aboard you are greeted by a solid wood interior that gives the vessel a beautiful atmosphere... Read More

Her owner had decided to move up to a larger yacht and after putting it on the market we immediately had activity. Sunshine had some nice features for a yacht of her... Read More

2013 is off to a great start with over ten boats having been sold by our office in January alone, including a 47' Intrepid that was listed and sold within that month! Word has come from one of our brokers that the Intrepid 475 Sport Yacht that he listed on January 1st has closed and he was surprised by how much attention the vessel received. "Azure" was the first 47' Intrepid that the factory built, and because they wanted to start with a splash, the boat was... Read More
