Hello & Welcome To Boats and Yachts Online Blog

My name is Wayne and I reside on the West Coast of Florida, and I am a full-time yacht broker for an elite brokerage house called Allied Marine. Allied Marine is one of the oldest, most respected yacht brokerage houses in the US, and is owned by a world leader in the yacht industry called the Ferretti Yacht Group. I have had the pleasure of helping clients buy and sell yachts for over ten years, both in the US and worldwide. So why am I a yacht broker? The answer is very simple, I love it. I cannot imagine a better job. Let’s face it -- cruising around with clients buying and selling some of the finest luxury yachts in the world cannot be all bad. Also, in my over 15 years in the industry, I have been formally trained and educated in a number of yacht lines -- Bertram, Hatteras, Ferretti, Riva, Pershing, and Mochi Craft Yachts. I also have extensive education in Azimut, Searay, Tiara, and Maritimo Yachts, just to name a few. But in addition to selling new yachts, I have the pleasure of helping clients purchase and sell pre-owned boats. And the great thing about that - if it's pre-owned, I can help people buy any yacht, anywhere. Whether it's a sport fishing yacht, a motor yacht or a trawler, I've seen them, I've ridden them, and I've helped buy and sell them, both domestically and internationally. So the point of this blog is to share my excitement about these yachts, provide information about the yacht market as whole, show you some of best deals in the yacht market right now, and help answer any questions you might have if you're considering buying or selling a boat. Below are a few of my websites -- please visit these sites, and once again I appreciate any and all of your comments and hope you revisit my blog!
Best regards.

To your next yacht.
Wayne.

With gas or diesel options, molded hard top and quality construction
that Tiara Yachts are known for the 30’ Tiara will satisfy any quality boat buyer looking for a premium 30’ boat.
The LOA of the 30’ Tiara Open with the pulpit and the optional swim platform is 35’0”
She has a nice 12’6” beam and draws 2’8” the hull has prop pockets.
The power is either a choice of two Crusader engine options or Cummins diesels.
The 30’ Tiara can come with a choice of a gas generator or a diesel generator and can come with a fishing package or cruise package.

Listing Your Yacht

Hello are you considering selling your yacht?
A large part of my job as a licensed Yacht Broker for Allied Marine is obtaining clean quality listings.
I really enjoy my job and getting clean yachts to sell is all part of the fun. I enjoy the challenge of marketing the vessels and finding a buyer.
I have been brokering vessel for over ten years.
Over the years I have been to school and trained on Hatteras Yachts, Bertram Yachts, Tiaras, Searays, Azimuts, Ferretti Yachts, Rivas, Pershing Yachts & Mochi Crafts, just to name a few.
I do not specialize in one particular brand or style; one of the great aspects of my job as a broker is learning about and selling a variety of yachts.
There is more to the overall picture than listing a vessel for sale.
To list your vessel and sell her in a timely fashion and have the least amount of hassle, the following needs to be done:
Vessels have to be competitively priced. They need to be in “yacht show” condition all the time it is on the market for sale. They must be ready for water trials and rigorous Surveys.

Allied Marine is owned by the Ferretti Yacht Group, and is one of the oldest yacht brokerage houses in the US – founded on the shores of the Miami River over 50 years ago. The company has a stellar reputation in the brokerage world. We sell yachts throughout the globe, so we are familiar with international transactions and shipping yachts overseas.
Sellers will often ask me, why should I list my yacht with Allied Marine, and from my years of experience the response is quite simple. . .
Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. The person/s that are interested in your yacht wants to do business with us. They have heard of us and they want to do business with a very reputable company, a company that is going to spend that extra time with them and be there for them during and after the sale for many years to come.
You are not just putting your yacht on the market with a brokerage house but with an institution.
There are approximately 50 world class brokers representing Allied Marine and we all network together. We hold biweekly, in-depth conference calls with our offices throughout Florida working on finding buyers for our listings. We are a co-brokerage house and invite all outside brokers to work with us as well.

If you are thinking of selling your yacht, I would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. I invite you to leave any comments or questions below, and feel free to call or email me.
