Bob’s passion for boating began early, growing up just across the sand from Clearwater Beach. His first hands-on experience came through a father-son pram-building project—a modest start that sparked a lifelong connection to the water. That small boat was the first of many, leading to ownership and operation of both sail and power vessels ranging from 13 to 65 feet. From those early days, Bob’s career path became clear: helping others experience the enjoyment and fulfillment of yachting. What began as boat sales evolved over 30 years into a deeper, more client-focused role as a yacht brokerage consultant. His expertise and leadership eventually led him to establish his own brokerage firm, growing it to over 20 brokers with offices in West Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, Daytona, and Naples. While building and leading a successful company was rewarding, years of administrative responsibility pulled Bob away from what he valued most—direct client relationships. Recognizing this, he made a deliberate return to his roots, focusing once again on personal service and hands-on guidance. Throughout his career, Bob has traveled extensively, working with clients in more than 40 countries. His experience includes serving as a project manager on major refits, including a four-year, comprehensive mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and cosmetic restoration of a 65-meter triple-mast schooner. This breadth of experience has given Bob a deep understanding of every aspect of yachting—from market knowledge and vessel selection to long-term ownership considerations. However, he believes the most critical element is what happens after the sale. His commitment to clients extends well beyond delivery, ensuring their ownership experience remains seamless, enjoyable, and rewarding. Bob takes pride in providing exceptional, ongoing service—from initial inspection through every stage of ownership. His focus remains simple: to support his clients in achieving and maintaining their ideal yachting lifestyle.
