Experience in the Superyacht Industry

Kent’s career on the water began at 19, working aboard sportfishing boats in Cabo San Lucas. This early experience gave him first-hand knowledge of yacht operations and client service before he transitioned into yacht brokerage in his mid-twenties. Alongside his early brokerage career, Kent gained additional commercial experience as an entrepreneur before deciding to focus fully on yacht sales. Over more than a decade in brokerage, Kent has completed over 200 yacht transactions. His early sales experience included cruising yachts and sportfishing vessels, with particular exposure to brands including Viking and Cabo, before expanding into luxury motor yachts from builders such as Pershing and Azimut. As his client base developed, Kent progressed into increasingly large and complex yachts. His experience now extends to 40-metre Westports, 50-metre Delta Marine yachts and superyachts exceeding 65 metres, providing a broad perspective across both production and custom-built vessels.
