Spencer developed a lasting passion for the ocean at an early age, cruising New England’s coastal waters with his family from the age of four. Those early experiences shaped his deep appreciation for the boating lifestyle and the vessels that make offshore adventure possible. Today, he splits his time between Palm Beach, Florida, and Newport, Rhode Island, staying closely connected to two of the country’s most active yachting markets.
During high school and college, Spencer worked at Pilot’s Point Marina in his hometown of Westbrook, Connecticut, where he gained hands-on experience with the day-to-day operations of a full-service marina. It was there that he developed a strong appreciation for the customer-facing side of the business, as well as the tight-knit boating community that defines the industry.
Building on that foundation, Spencer went on to become an experienced private, delivery, and charter captain, completing multiple deliveries between New England and South Florida each year. Through extensive exposure and time “in the field,” Spencer acquired a strong familiarity with the inner workings of marine systems. Notably, he and his father undertook a full refit of their family’s 43’ custom sportfishing boat, personally replacing or repairing everything from engines to electronics.
After college, Spencer led business development for a boutique NYC investment bank specializing in private equity M&A transactions. In that role, he developed a deep understanding of high-value deals and recognized a natural alignment between business founders and yacht owners. Today, he brings that capital markets expertise into yacht brokerage, approaching each transaction with professionalism, discretion, and a strong commitment to integrity.
Outside of work, Spencer is an avid freedive spearfisherman and tournament angler who is always on the hunt for the next big adventure and is stoked to share those stories through creative avenues such as media and literature.
