Ray Pessel

Ray’s passion for boating began as a teenager while restoring a classic 25' wooden Chris Craft alongside his brother-in-law. That early hands-on experience sparked a lifelong love for the water and ultimately inspired his move from New Jersey to Florida.

In 2002, Ray began his professional career in the marine industry, selling Prestige, Fairline, Cruiser Yachts, Formula, and Chaparral at a local marina. By 2004, he had earned his broker’s license and went on to represent a wide range of new and pre-owned vessels, successfully guiding clients through countless transactions.

Known for his dedication and integrity, Ray has built lasting relationships through repeat business and referrals from clients who value his ability to match them with the perfect boat. As a broker with Denison Yachting, he is proud to represent both brokerage and new yacht sales, offering world-class brands such as Sunseeker, Riviera, Absolute, Chris Craft, Regal, and HCB Custom Yachts.
