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 work directly with the owner of a licensed Florida brokerage who is also a former captain and engineer. That blend of engineering, navigation, and negotiation protects owners across buying, owning, and selling.
What proof points back up your approach?
30 years industry experience including 200,000+ nautical miles navigated onboard luxury yachts, 100's of marine surveys, sea trials and shipyard projects, respected media features, and high-trust transactions including off-market introductions and seven-figure deals. The track record is built on owner protection, not promotion.
Do you handle off-market introductions?
Yes. When appropriate, we quietly match qualified buyers and sellers to maximize leverage and discretion for 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 across the Med, Asia and throughout the Caribbean...since 1997. We routinely handle domestic and foreign registries with Kevin St. CLair's first international, foreign-flaged transaction completed in 2004 with buyer & seller attorney's onboard. A quarter-century later, we're more advanced with this process.
