Max was born and raised in Palm Beach where he developed a lifelong passion for boating and fishing. He attended Saint Andrew’s School in Boca Raton and graduated from Florida Atlantic University. With fishing and boating being two loves of his since childhood, obtaining his 100-ton Masters captain’s license and getting into fishing charters was inevitable.
After college, Max began working for Southern Comfort IV Charters and Living On Island Time drift fishing, where he captained both boats for seven years. During this time, he earned a strong reputation as an excellent captain and hard worker while gaining valuable knowledge of how to operate and manage boats. In the spring of 2017, Max made the jump into becoming a yacht broker.
Over the past eight years, he has successfully sold and closed more than 75 yachts and boats ranging from 26 to 85 feet. He specializes in high-end outboard-powered boats, sportfishing boats, and luxury motor yachts. These specialties have allowed him to build a strong portfolio of clients and boats sold. His extensive market insight and hands-on experience enable him to anticipate client needs, streamline the sales process, and deliver seamless results for both buyers and sellers.
Max’s core values are integrity, trust, and accountability, and he always strives to be the best he can be. Going above and beyond the normal requirements of a yacht broker is what separates him from the rest and makes him a special person to work with. He never tries to be someone he is not, and these values have helped him build a strong repeat client base and gain referrals from trusted clients and friends. For Max, the sale of a boat or yacht is more than just a transaction — it is about building lifelong relationships.
He currently lives in Lantana, Florida with his wife, Blair, and their two dogs, Tango and Pepper.
