With more than 25 years of hands-on experience in the maritime world, I’ve dedicated my life to sailing and helping others navigate the rewarding but often complex journey of yacht ownership. As a professional sailor with dual Spanish and U.S. citizenship, and a licensed and bonded yacht broker in Florida, I bring a rare combination of international perspective, deep sailing expertise, and market knowledge to every consultation, delivery, or training session I take on. My career has taken me across oceans, from Caribbean island-hopping deliveries to high-end yacht commissionings in Europe. I’ve worked with some of the most respected names in the sailing world—Fountaine Pajot, Dufour, Lagoon, Sunreef Yachts, and Leopard Catamarans—giving me a unique and well-rounded perspective on what makes a yacht not just seaworthy, but perfectly suited to its owner’s goals. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to navigate the purchase process with clarity and confidence, or a seasoned sailor wanting to understand the subtle differences between top catamaran brands, I’m here to help. Here’s how the hourly consulting process works: Discovery Session: We start with a video or phone call where I get to know you, your goals, and your sailing experience. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a conversation focused on clarity. Needs Analysis & Brand Comparison: I help you break down the pros and cons of specific catamaran models, explaining real-world differences between major brands like Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon, Sunreef, Leopard, and Bali. Market Support: I can guide your search in the U.S., Europe, or the Caribbean—wherever the right boat may be. I regularly track global listings, new builds, and hidden opportunities. Contract Review & Strategy: If you’re about to make an offer, I can help you review the contract, inspection terms, and purchasing timeline. My goal is to make sure there are no surprises later. Survey & Sea Trial Coordination: I advise you through the technical review, helping you understand what’s normal wear and tear, and what might be a red flag. Commissioning & Delivery Advice: If you’re buying new or importing a yacht from Europe, I can help with commissioning plans, equipment reviews, and even delivery captain selection. Post-Purchase Sailing Support: Once your boat is in your hands, I offer sailing days to help you get fully comfortable with systems, navigation, docking, and more.
