A Midwest native, Juan owned several successful businesses before being persuaded in 1997 to join a friend selling boats in Minnesota. He quickly developed a passion for boating and the yachting industry as a whole.
Subsequent opportunities afforded him valuable experience selling both new and brokerage yachts, working with new boat builders for improved manufacturing practices, delivering boats throughout the United States, and teaching new owner’s boat and yacht operation and maintenance. Juan’s previous business expertise frequently comes in handy for trouble-shooting mechanical or electronic issues.
In 2008 Juan and his wife, Liz, a marine journalist, relocated to South Florida in pursuit of warmer temps and sunnier skies.
Juan holds distinction as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB), Master 100 Ton Captains License and is an active member of the Florida Yacht Brokers Association (FYBA).

I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate the effort you put forward in concluding my recent purchase of the “Sea View”. I have been looking for a quality Bluewater Yacht for over a year and dealt with several yacht brokers during that search. I am very happy you had the boat of my dreams and were instrumental in the transaction. I am sure you are very proud of the numerous certifications you hold but “true professional” should be added. I never had to worry about actions being completed, status of the deal, who had what responsibility, or whether I was being told the truth.
You clearly went above and beyond in making sure everything was done even after the money had been transferred and the deal was consummated. Helping me find a temporary marina and acting as the Captain when the boat had to be moved were examples of your professionalism and commitment to the customer.
That kind of service is rare today and you are to be congratulated for the effort. It goes without saying that if I meet anyone who is looking for a yacht, your name will be the first one I give them with my whole-hearted recommendation. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
