About

International yacht broker and highly respected social media personality who is known to many, including the 900,000 followers he boasts on his theyachtguy Instagram account, as "The Yacht Guy." He grew his worldwide fame by becoming the first-ever yachting influencer and sharing stunning images and videos of regatta views, sunsets aboard superyachts, and attending on-board events in the company of some of the world's most elite personalities. He has also utilized his thorough breadth of market expertise to work as an advisor and intermediary to both buyers and sellers in the transaction of their luxurious vessels.

Before Fame

His fascination with yachts and high-end watercraft was sparked as early as 1998. Over 12 years later, while attending the world-famous Newport International Boat Show, he encountered an unexpected dilemma involving his phone's dwindling storage capacity. He did not want to miss the opportunity to continue capturing the unrepeatable sights at the event and his brother suggested that creating an Instagram account would grant him all the photo storage he could need.

Trivia

In February of 2019, a highly detailed profile piece was published about his life and work in MEL Magazine. He was a guest on the BOAT Briefing Podcast in March of 2022. He has been featured in SuperYacht Times, It Boat Magazine, Denison Yacht Sales, Superyacht Content, FRANK Magazine, and countless other outlets for his unique working lifestyle and the endless trove of fascinating experiences he has managed to collect along the way.

Family Life

He was initially encouraged to become involved with Instagram and social media by his brother. He has a daughter named Poeme and has declared that he intends on naming his first yacht after her.
