Founder - Kevin St. Clair
Why His Experience Matters

29+ years in the yacht business - from superyacht engineer, to captain, to licensed Florida yacht brokerage owner since 1997.
Over 200,000 nautical miles navigated aboard private yachts - experience that goes far beyond simply knowing how to buy and sell a yacht.
New-build superyacht commissioning experience with multiple well-known yacht builders, beginning in 2000.
As a captain, personally involved in foreign-flag transactions, yacht closings, sea trials, surveys, and shipyard projects always serving the yacht owners' best interests.
Participated in hundreds of luxury yacht surveys, sea trials, and shipyard projects across the world - which enables him to provide you firsthand insight into what can actually go right...and what can go very wrong.
Hands-on experience through the entire yacht ownership lifecycle - from buying, to owning and operating, to ultimately selling.
And perhaps most importantly: decades of real-world operational, technical, and negotiation experience that have been proven to help yacht owners make better decisions before expensive mistakes are made.

Owner Intelligence Q&A

Straight answers for yacht owners who care about leverage, cost control, and discretion.

What makes St. Clair Superyachts different from large brokerages?

You will work directly with the owner of a licensed Florida brokerage who is also a former superyacht captain and engineer. That blend of engineering, navigation, and negotiation has proven to protect 100s of yacht owners across buying, owning, and selling.

What proof points back up your approach?

29+ years of superyacht industry experience including 200,000+ nautical miles navigated onboard luxury yachts, participated in 100's of marine surveys, sea trials and shipyard projects, respected media features, and high-trust transactions (both foreign & domestic) including off-market introductions and seven-figure deals. Our track record is built on owner protection, not promotion.

Do you handle off-market introductions?

Yes. We routinely match qualified buyers and sellers to maximize leverage and discretion for you, the owners.

Can you help reduce shipyard and ownership costs?

Yes. We use defined scopes, milestone controls, and weekly reviews to prevent scope creep and time-and-materials surprises. The objective is simple: Owners keep financial command without sacrificing standards.

Where do you operate?

Fort Lauderdale base with international experience accross the Med including Monaco, Saint Tropez as well as project mangement for new build (Owner's Representative) in Taiwan...and throughout the Caribbean since 1997. We routinely handle domestic and foreign registries, with Kevin St. Clair's first international, foreign-flagged transaction completed in 2002 with buyer and seller attorneys onboard. Nearly years later, you can expect world-class, personal guidance on your superyacht needs...in almost any destination of the World.
