A Message from Broker
Vincent Schimmenti

My name is Vincent Schimmenti, and I was born in Passaic, New Jersey, which is 10 miles west of NYC. I started boating with my father as early as I can remember – on the Passaic River and Newark Bay, out to the Hudson and New York Harbor and Brooklyn and Coney Island, then on to the Jersey Shore in our wooden cabin cruiser with a compass and a flat head six-cylinder motor. Later, I developed a passion for classic wooden boat restoration and restored two wooden boats.

I moved to Miami in 1992 and started to work at Ft Apache and Wellcraft in New Boat Sales and Brokerage. My interest turned to European Boat Builders, and I have, over the years, sold multiple boats for manufacturers including Cranchi, Fairline, Baia, Neptunis, Regal, PR Marine Germany 102′ to 125′, and more recently, Sunseeker and also Pearl Yachts.

I enjoy seeing yachts being built and the different hull designs and construction techniques. I have had some great teachers along the way, such as Paolo Caliari and Geoncarlo Batista, and I have visited many shipyards around the world. I believe you become an essential part of your customer’s boating experience, and you must be there for them before, during, and after the purchase.

Broker-Selected New Boats

As a licensed Florida yacht broker, we have the ability and relationships to be able to bring you to a new boat factory and deliver you a new boat. Additionally, all ships will be delivered through the territorial dealer. The warranty is also directly from the factory and can be arranged by New York Yacht Sales.

With direct broker sales, we can save you money and offer the convenience of managing the warranty and service of your new boat. Learn more about NYYS by contacting us today.

Convenience with Direct Broker Sales

Buying your boat is not the simplest thing in the world, but we can guide you through and get you the best price and service. That’s why we provide you with the convenience of yacht broker-represented purchase and service. We simply negotiate on your behalf and present you with the best possible deal. There are no excuses.

We arrange a factory visit. We then negotiate the value of your new boat and the sale of your possible trade-in boat as well as the after-sale warranty maintenance and repairs.
