Born and raised in Maryland, Chris developed a passion for boating and sportfishing at an early age. That passion ultimately led him to South Florida — the sportfishing capital of the world — where he turned a lifelong love of the water into a full-time career in yacht brokerage.
Chris specializes in center consoles, sportfish, express cruisers, and high-performance yachts. His strength lies in combining deep marine knowledge with strategic marketing and disciplined deal execution.

Clients choose Chris for:
• Strategic market positioning
• High-impact digital marketing and exposure
• Detailed vessel knowledge and evaluation
• Strong negotiation skills
• Clear communication from listing to delivery
As a father of three, Chris understands that boating is more than a transaction — it’s about experiences, memories, and time on the water with family and friends. His personal love of sportfishing and travel keeps him closely connected to the lifestyle his clients pursue.
Whether representing a late-model center console or a custom sportfish, Chris approaches every deal with integrity, focus, and a results-driven mindset — reflecting the standard of service Island Yacht Group is known for.
