Naples Yacht Brokerage has never been a franchise or a dealer outpost. Pete answers his own phone, and the advice you get is about the right boat for you, not the inventory someone needs to move.
Pete has sold boats since 1978 — sailboats, trawlers, sportfish and motor yachts on Lake Michigan, Galveston Bay, the Gulf and the Bahamas. With Debbie and Charles, the office carries a century of combined market memory.
We sit above the Ship's Store at the Naples Boat Club — wet slips, a service yard and a boathouse at the door. In one of America's most beautiful cities, it makes sense to pair a boat purchase with a visit.
A look at the kind of vessels moving through the office — center consoles, sportfish, downeast, trawlers and motor yachts from roughly 30 to 58 feet. Inventory turns through the Naples season; call Pete for the live list.

Pete Peterson · Founder & Principal Broker · Yacht broker since 1978
Pete Peterson started selling boats in Houston in 1978 — new sailboats and trawlers — then moved to Florida's Space Coast in 1983 after sailing the Bahamas. When the Petersons sailed into Naples aboard their Westsail 32, Pete founded Naples Yacht Brokerage: the first independent full-service yacht brokerage in Collier County, and still the oldest.
Read the full story →Our property isn't a storefront in a strip mall. It's a piece of Naples Bay — a condominium boathouse, a marine service yard, and wet slips, with the brokerage office above the Ship's Store. Survey, haul-out and sea trial happen steps from the desk.
Naples is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and the brokerage sits in the heart of it. Out-of-town buyers fly in, see the boat, and make a few days of it. We help with everything from showings to the slip she'll live in.
Market analysis, off-market intel, sea-trial coordination, independent survey, escrow and closing. We'll tell you when the boat you love is the wrong boat.
Professional photography and video, then synchronized listing across YachtWorld, YATCO, Boats.com and our own site — plus a private buyer list we actually call.
Our marine service yard, wet slips and boathouse mean survey, haul-out and storage are handled on the property — not scattered across three vendors.
Center consoles, sportfish, downeast, trawlers, cruisers, motor yachts and sailboats — licensed and bonded across the categories Naples buyers actually want.
