Sea Yachts

Representation,
not salesmanship.

Sea Yachts represents yacht buyers the way counsel represents a client. You work directly with Garry Chupurdy Jr., a licensed captain and yacht broker who knows boats from the engine room up.

Anyone can show you a boat. Few can tell you what's wrong with her.

I'm Garry Chupurdy Jr. I've been running boats since 1998 and brokering them since 2008. I evaluate every yacht the way a captain does, then negotiate for you the way an advocate does.

Garry Chupurdy Jr.Captain and yacht broker

Captain. Broker. Builder. Rigger. Painter. Boat investor.I've done the work, not just sold it.

Diesel engines and machinery

I know what a healthy engine room looks like, what a tired one costs, and which problems a seller would rather you didn't notice.

Navigation and boat handling

Sea trials run by a captain, not a salesperson. I'll tell you how she handles, and teach you to run her after closing.

Survey and sea trial

I know where surveyors look and what their findings are worth at the negotiating table.

Contracts and closing

Offers, contingencies, escrow, title, and documentation, handled with the care of a legal matter.

Build quality and refit

Hulls, rigging, paint, and joinery. I know what quality work looks like, and what a refit really costs.

Value and resale

I've bought and resold boats with my own money. I know what holds its value and what turns into a money pit.

Yachts from $150K and up, for private clients anywhere in the world.

We specialize in exports. Buy in Florida, and we handle the paperwork, the logistics, and delivery to the loading point for shipment to your home port.

Buyer representation is usually paid from the listing side, so it typically costs you nothing. Every purchase includes captain instruction and a full systems orientation.

Good-value deals

Hand-picked boats I think are worth a serious look — and why.

These yachts are listed by other brokerages. I’m sharing them because I believe they may represent interesting value based on the information publicly available at the time of posting.

Sea Yachts is not the listing broker for these yachts. Listing details, pricing, availability and condition may change and should be independently verified with the listing broker.

If you’re interested in one of these boats, I can represent you as the buyer’s broker and work with the listing broker on your behalf.

Ask about a boat

Found a boat? Get a captain's opinion before you call the listing broker.

Send me the listing. I'll tell you what I see, what I'd check, and whether the price makes sense. No cost and no obligation.

Send me a listing Usually within one business day.

Buying from overseas?

Florida has the best selection of yachts in the world. You don't need to be here to buy one well. I act as your eyes, hands, and advocate on the ground.

  1. I inspect for you

    I go aboard the boats on your short list and report back honestly, with photos and video.

  2. I attend survey and sea trial

    A captain on board for you, reading the surveyor's findings and putting them to work in negotiation.

  3. I manage the closing

    Contract, escrow, title, and documentation, handled remotely with you at every step.

  4. I handle the export

    Export paperwork and delivery to the loading point for shipment to your home port.

Selling a yacht?

Every listing gets its own marketing campaign and a broker who can answer a buyer's hardest questions about the engines, the systems, and the survey. That's what closes deals.

Request a valuation

Straight answers

What does buyer representation cost me?

Usually nothing. In most purchases the buyer's broker is paid from the commission the seller has already agreed to. I'll explain exactly how it works for your boat before you sign anything.

Can you represent me on a boat listed with another broker?

Yes. Most yachts are listed for co-brokerage, so I can represent you on almost any boat on the market, including the ones in big-brokerage ads.

Why not just call the listing broker?

Because they work for the seller. Their job is to get the seller the highest price. Mine is to make sure you buy the right boat at the right price.

I'm not in Florida. Can you still help?

Yes. I work with clients around the world and specialize in exports. I can inspect boats, attend survey and sea trial, and manage closing and export on your behalf.

Do you also sell boats?

Yes. Every listing gets its own marketing campaign and a broker who can answer a buyer's hardest technical questions.
