We bought an Aquila 44 from Kyle in April of 2025. He communicated very well, negotiated with the seller and helped us get the deal done. We were comfortable enough with him that we did not sign with a buyers broker. He facilitated the inspections, agreed repairs and maintainance once the deal closed. He was very transparent about the history of the boat and what we were buying. I can't imagine working with a better broker. We had so much confidence in him that we even hired him as a captain and spent a week on board with him moving the boat up the East Coast.
Over The Top Help and Support Thank You Michelle and to your team, for the "Over The Top" help and support you all have so graciously extended to Vickie and I from beginning to end with Sv Escape Velocity! We Look Forward To Keeping In Touch. Yours! The Harveys
A brokerage and so much more! Nicole and Michelle helped procure our first sail cat, a Lagoon 450S. They walked us thru the process and made what initially felt overwhelming and impossible, an easy reality. Their advisement during the purchase process and after has been invaluable and allowed us to ease into this lifestyle. We took our maiden voyage in Dec 2024, and they continued to support us with questions we had along the way and words of encouragement as we set sail. Their efforts for ensuring a positive experience before, during and after the purchase were tireless. Not only do we consider them as our brokers but now also consider them as friends!
A true pleasure dealing with this team We purchased the boat utilizing Michelle Ropiza as broker representing buyer and seller. She is absolutely the best! Her, Nicole, Eva and Pat are awesome! It was a true pleasure dealing with this team from start to finish!
Highly Recommend Michelle and her team made the entire selling process very easy. From arranging dock space to cleaners and all the other little bits involved in selling a yacht. Would recommend them highly!
Michelle was great at finding the perfect boat my family and I were looking for. She has her ears to the ground and a great pulse on used catamaran activity. In our case, she was able to connect us with a boat before it was even being sold. She sees and understands the value of the used catamaran marketplace. I'd use her again in the future.
Our adventure begins, with Michelle’s help, and we are loving every minute. Michelle & Catamaran Brokerage are SO much more than a brokerage. They are building a helpful community. We took ownership and began to head off from Ft Lauderdale, days before Hurricane Nicole hit. Michelle reached out with concern and helped us with solutions to stay safe. She had checked in with most of her clients to see if they needed any help finding safe harbor. How great is that?! We can’t say enough – THANK YOU MICHELLE & PAT!
An outstanding experience We recently sold our vessel through Catamaran Brokerage and had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark Wattrus. From start to finish, Mark demonstrated incredible professionalism, expertise, and dedication. He guided us seamlessly through the entire process, ensuring we felt informed and confident every step of the way. If you’re looking to buy or sell a vessel, Mark is undoubtedly the broker you want in your corner. His commitment to his clients and his extensive knowledge of the market truly set him apart. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mark and Catamaran Brokerage, for an outstanding experience!
The BEST boat broker Mark Wattrus is the BEST boat broker around. He went above and beyond to help us in buying and selling our boat. He is super knowledgeable and seems to know everyone in the industry. So grateful for all his help
Absolute customer focus We engaged Mark after we had a very disappointing experience with a previous broker. Mark immediately and seamlessly arranged the many details needed to achieve a successful outcome. He communicated regularly, (we were halfway round the world away), was a pleasure to work with, organised everything that needed attending, to and provided us with the confidence our interests were being looked after. The sales process was quickly and efficiently backed up by Catamaran Brokerages’ back office. We unreservedly recommend Catamaran Brokerage as a great company to handle sales in a professional and friendly manner, and especially Mark Wattrus for reflecting that approach and his absolute customer focus. Thanks Mark!
Ultimate professional Mark Wattrus has been an excellent yacht broker. He is the ultimate professional, providing a board range of advice and always working for my best interest. He was an excellent communicator, and he was always readily available to answer any questions by phone, email or text. His team provided excellent support.
Can't Compliment Mark in any way that is rewarding of his knowledge, integrity and work ethic. You should have no hesitation about hiring Mark to represent your goals. Grateful for all his good work.
Extensive industry experience and dedication I had the pleasure of working with Kevin at Catamaran Brokerage to acquire an amazing sailing catamaran. Kevin’s extensive industry experience and dedication were evident from day one. He took the time to ensure that we had a thorough understanding of what we needed in a boat, guiding us through the entire process with patience and expertise. Kevin arranged all necessary pre-purchase inspections, handled transportation logistics, and even helped us move the yacht from South Florida to our home in the Carolinas. His attention to detail and commitment to our satisfaction gave us complete confidence in our purchase. What really set Kevin apart was his ongoing availability—not only during the buying process but also afterward. He has been 100% available to answer any questions we’ve had and has even assisted us with sail planning. Kevin is also an exceptionally patient and insightful teacher, making sure we were fully prepared to operate our new catamaran. I highly recommend Kevin and Catamaran Brokerage to anyone looking for a yacht. Their personalized service, industry knowledge, and ongoing support made this a truly exceptional experience.
"Exceeded all expectations" Kyle was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we can't recommend him highly enough! After extensive research to find a trustworthy brokerage, we chose Kyle and Catamaran Brokerage, and the experience has exceeded all expectations. As first-time boat owners, we needed a lot of guidance, and Kyle made sure we were well-informed and comfortable at every stage. His team at Catamaran Brokerage went above and beyond, walking us through every step of the process—from financing to insurance and beyond. What truly sets Kyle and his team apart is their focus on quality over a quick sale. Their priority wasn’t just to get us on any boat but to ensure it was the right boat for us. Now, as proud owners of our new boat, we’re thrilled with our decision. Even after the sale, Kyle and his team have continued to provide outstanding support, connecting us with trusted companies to ensure a smooth transition into boat ownership. We couldn’t be happier and are incredibly grateful for their expertise and care.
Gwen Robic did a fantastic job selling our catamaran in St-Martin. She gave us many referals for repairs and marina, she is easy to deal with, helped the purchaser with all the required document and giving us all information making the transaction very smooth. She is the best..
Highly Recommend The sale of my catamaran went very well. Thanks to the entire Catamaran Brokerage Team and Gwen in particular.
Catamaran Brokerage a Cut Above I wanted to provide some feedback and information for those on the site interested in selling or buying a catamaran. I have had the opportunity to work with Catamaran Brokerage (Michelle and Gwen) in both the selling of our L-40 sailing catamaran and purchasing of our L-43 PC. Catamaran Brokerage was fantastic to work with as we sold our L-40 sailing catamaran. Michelles network of individuals delivered several individuals interested in the boat and arranged all the details of the showings. Michelle continually contacted me talking thought all the things that would make the boat sell. They had me involved, since I knew a lot about the boat, and handled all the details when offers came our way. Michelle and Pat personally came to the sea trial and survey which really helped the buyer and me as we moved through the process. Michelle and her team also handled all the details of the closing making it very easy. We then use Catamaran Brokerage help us find our L-43 PC. Because we only were shopping for a L-43 finding what we wanted was not easy. Catamaran Brokerage found several US based L-43’s but none of them worked out to be what we wanted. But because Catamaran Brokerage has Gwen based in St. Maarten we found a L-43 that fit our needs in the Caribbean. Personally I really did not want to buy a boat in another country 1,100 nm from home, which I am sure many of you would not want to do either. But with Gwen on site all the scary details got handled pretty easily. Gwen and Michelle worked together to insure that in each trip down we did what we needed to do (sea trails, surveys, etc.). The truth is it is more complicated to purchase a boat in another country but with Gwen and Michelle organizing, showing, assisting with negotiations, government details, importing, and helping with the arrangements to get the boat back to the US all fell into place. Plus now we have an amazing friend in Gwen who worked behind the scenes to insure all the local stuff got done right. I could go on but I will close by saying I strongly recommend Catamaran Brokerage for selling or buying a boat. I also would encourage you to expand your boat shopping to St. Maarten (Caribbean) with Gwens guidance it provides so many more options. If you want to contact me to learn more about our experience don’t hesitate to message me.
"Very Knowledgeable and Helpful" The whole team was very helpful getting this purchase done and boat handed over. I appreciated the small touches like having boat washed right before handover and assistance getting the boat out of a tight slip. Our broker, Stephen Lloyd was also very knowledgeable and helpful, making sure that we were comfortable with the process.
Steve Lloyd made selling our boat a remarkably seamless and lower-stress experience, and I know it's not normal, but it was awesome. He's very collaborative with the whole selling process, and never once did I get shady or shifty vibes. Steve was consistent and reliable when I asked him to do something or find something that had to do with the whole selling process. He was honest when he didn't have an answer; rather than making something up he went and found the solution. Steve was also very thoughtful and supportive, since we were sad about selling the boat due to an injury. 10/10 would recommend
