Biography

ABOUT WILEY

Yacht broker Wiley Sharp grew up on the West Coast of Florida, where he was exposed to sailing and fishing at a very young age. Sailing and cruising became a mainstay in Wiley’s life after high school when he went to sea to earn his captain’s license. This took him to Cape Town, South Africa to face some of the toughest seas in the world.

After earning his 200-ton license, Wiley went to work in the Bahamas as a charter yacht captain, yacht mechanic and delivery captain. From there, his love for the sea and work ethic took him to St. Vincent & The Grenadines as an Operations Manager for a large charter company. After a period of time there, he moved to Grenada to open and manage a new charter yacht operation with a fleet of 20 sailboats and catamarans.

Wiley returned to the states and began working as a yacht broker in South Florida. After several years as a yacht broker, Wiley once again moved back down to the Caribbean and lived/worked in St. Thomas, USVI as an Operations Manager for a catamaran company. Wiley has created a large, successful and extremely informative YouTube Channel, named Wiley Sharp Catamaran Expert, which touches base on all things catamaran related. Wiley specializes in catamarans and always has a finger on the pulse of the catamaran market. He has intimate and personal knowledge of the cruising lifestyle and catamaran charter industry; knowing exactly which catamaran works best for each client, based on their needs.

With Wiley’s experience including over thousands of miles at sea and countless hours maintaining yachts, he is a fantastic choice whether you're looking to buy or sell your catamaran.
