Yachts over 80 feet bring full guest programs, dedicated crew quarters, and professional-grade systems. South Florida's deep-water marinas and concentrated service yards make Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach the natural centers of Florida's large-yacht market — and the working focus of this South Florida brokerage.
Dan coordinates large-yacht purchases end to end across the Miami — Fort Lauderdale — Palm Beach corridor: specialist surveys, crew and maintenance-record review, comps-backed negotiation, and escrow structured for multi-party closings — backed by CPYB certification and $50M+ in closed transactions.
What to consider on a superyacht
Crew arrangements — captain experience, contracts, and retention — should be evaluated as part of the purchase.
Verify fuel burn and range at displacement cruise against the current owner's logs, not brochures.
Berth availability for 80-foot-plus yachts is limited; line up committed dockage before closing.
Insurance for large yachts involves substantial underwriting; obtain a bindable quote before contract.
Coordinate the haul-out and dry-dock inspection window early — yard capacity for big boats books out.
