Yolanda Phinney

My motto is “Service before and after sales”.

This is my strong belief and what I live by whenever taking on a new client to join my extensive and worldwide yachting family. I started my boating lifestyle at the tender age of 5 with my first sailing vessel, an Optimist. After growing up on the waters of Long Island Sound, I have now cruised most of the saltwater on Earth with the exception of the Antarctic Ocean. When I am searching the world for the perfect yacht for my clients, I put my 35-plus years of experience as a Florida yacht broker, a delivery skipper, a full time live aboard, and as an avid boater to work for my clients. The sum of my life’s experiences on or in water comes in very handy when I am helping a client to custom build their dream vessel or when looking for the best pre-loved yacht to create new memories.

I feel that it is most important to listen to my clients and to do the leg work in order to find the best yachting opportunity that will fit their lifestyle, however, finding or building the perfect yacht for you does not complete my work as a Broker. It is the beginning of a long relationship where I will “have your back” and do everything in my power to ensure your enjoyment of the yachting lifestyle, both as your consultant and hopefully as your friend. Whether it is something as simple as a recommendation for places to visit on your next trip, where to buy the latest water toys, staffing your vessel, or finding a new slip, I will have your back. I am blessed to be married to an amazing delivery and project manager Captain that is also an avid diver, fisherman and pilot. Together we are able to provide exceptional service before and after you have joined our extended yachting family. My years of playing on and in the water from Nova Scotia to Southern Chile has provided me with a rather extensive wealth of knowledge which I am most happy and eager to share!

I am looking forward to providing you with exceptional service while assisting you in making your yachting dreams a reality.
