Hello, I'm Chris Sailors, a Licensed Yacht Broker with a passion for the sea that spans two decades. Since the age of 14, I've navigated the waters, turning my love for boats into a thriving career. I've served as both captain and mate for over a decade, gaining invaluable experience.
As a boat owner myself my love for the water extends beyond the professional realm. There is not a boat that I don't love, and I bring both expertise and enthusiasm to every transaction.
My journey includes a sales manager role at a high end boat dealership and has taken me to numerous boat manufacturing plants, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Beyond the waves, I'm adept at leveraging the internet to showcase boats effectively, ensuring they reach the right audience.

Chris, I’m looking for something to cruise the inter coastal waterways and do a little off shore exploring with two to four people. I know the 26XO would be a good option but would the 25 Offshore be a little better? I’d also like to hit Boca or Haulover inlet one day. Thanks
@@destin_yacht_broker1 Thanks. Comfort is probably my first priority. Additionally, the extra weight would not be a problem. I’m looking at Grady White, Pursuit and Regulator.
I own a boat with a 225 hp Mercury. My best guesstimate is $100/hour to cruise that boat with those engines. Depending of course in the cost of fuel. It’s more here in Canada. You also have to factor in regular 100 hour maintenance for each engine which for these would add another $25/hr. So $125/hr approx one would need to plan to spend. Each engine would costs about $50k US including tax. A guy at my marina has a 42 foot Sea Ray with twin diesels and he closes in on $400/hr.
@@renko9067 I was pretty sure operating a boat like the one in the video required some deep pockets. I plan on getting a center console 23’-29’ but I want to stay away gas guzzlers (I am aware fuel economy and boats don’t go together) I’ve been looking up a few boats in the 23’ range at at around 40-45 mph the fuel usage is around 20 gph, but going at 20 mph their usage is cut in half. Thanks for your reply
