Graham Barnes

Graham Barnes is a yacht captain who spent 23 years in command of Captivator, a Palmer Johnson. When she was sold, he brought that experience to yacht brokerage, and few brokers know a yacht the way a captain of that long standing does: how she handles, what she costs to keep, and what a survey is likely to find.

Originally from South Africa, Graham makes his home in Fort Lauderdale. Alongside his work as a broker with Aspire Yacht Sales, he manages yachts for their owners, and as a certified diver he knows the parts of a boat that most people never see.

Buyers get straight advice from someone who has been responsible for a yacht day in and day out. Owners thinking of selling get a broker who understands exactly what they have.
