For buyers, sellers, and the out-of-town clients who fly into Naples to close — the actual sequence, not the marketing version. Backed by our own service yard, slips and boathouse on Naples Bay.
Where we earn our long-term reputation. Market scan, off-market intel, shortlist, walkthroughs, sea trial, independent survey, escrow, closing. We'll tell you when the boat you love is the wrong boat — twice, if you don't hear us the first time.
Contract to global market in seven days. Professional photography and walkthrough video, multi-channel listing, and direct, named outreach to qualified buyers — not autoresponder e-mail blasts.
US, Canadian, Caribbean & international buyers. Flag-state filings, multi-jurisdiction escrow, secure international wires, and Florida tax handled correctly the first time.
Our property on Naples Bay includes a marine service yard, wet slips and a condominium boathouse — so haul-out, survey and where she'll live after closing are handled in one place, not three.
Survey day · hauled & inspected steps from our Naples Bay service yardWe retain only independent, credentialed surveyors. The boat comes out of the water, the bottom and running gear get inspected, the sea trial runs against a written checklist tied to your use case — and the survey results often become the basis for a second negotiation. That's where the deal is really made.
Use case, geography, budget, hidden constraints. What you want versus what you actually need — we're honest when those aren't the same boat.
5–10 vessels, listed and off-market, each with a written assessment, the number we believe it should close at, and the questions we'd ask the listing broker.
We meet you on the dock; for international buyers we run live walkthrough video. Sea trials are coordinated, documented, and assessed against your use case.
Written offer with contingencies, independent survey and haul-out, then the second negotiation the survey makes possible.
Escrow, USCG documentation or state titling, Florida tax handling, flag-state coordination, and an introduction to the right marine insurer for the hull.
Captain and yard introductions, the punch list, the maintenance schedule, the next slip. The relationship doesn't end at the closing table.
