John D was born and raised on the coast of N.C. He grew up in a commercial fishing family. He's says he's been on boats commercially and recreationally since he can remember. He has built boats, lived on boats and worked on boats. He's been in the yacht brokerage business since 1997 after he had a friend’s father tell him once, “Find the one thing you love to do in life and figure out a way to make a living doing it, and you will be successful.” Being close to the water, boats and being around salty people was the one thing that always made him happy. He was living in Morehead City, N.C. at the time when he was asked to help start a Yacht brokerage in Wrightsville Beach, N.C. He has enjoyed everyday since he's been in this business. He says he's met wonderful people and made many friends.

John Ds other marine related experiences include: Marine Engine rebuilds, Racing boats, Diving, Commercial Fishing, Yacht deliveries, and Tournament fishing.

John D offers his clients assistance with boat handling, deliveries and understanding the mechanics of their boat.

Sean Doyle

Sean was raised in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina and was first introduced to boating at the age of four aboard the family 15-foot skiff. After studying construction management at East Carolina University, Sean went to work for a marine construction firm. His early experience fishing, water-skiing and crabbing convinced him to try a career on the water and he enrolled in a yacht surveyor course in Stuart, Florida. During a two year stint as a surveyor's associate, he was offered a position with a well-known North Carolina custom builder and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually landing a sales position with Bluewater Yacht Sales. Sean says the most rewarding part of the job is helping clients work through design issues to make their new boat meet their specific needs. His experience allows him to offer clients sound advice.

Peter has been in the yacht business most of his life. He grew up on Long Island, NY in Huntington and learned to sail at a young age. He raced Thistle class in high school, sailed to Bermuda in 1968 and got hooked on offshore racing. He’s completed two transatlantic trips, 10 SORC's, 7 Honolulu races, dozens of Mexican races, big boat series on San Francisco Bay and numerous other events. Last year he raced to Bermuda again. He has raced and cruised over 250,000 miles! After college he built Cal sailboats and Ranger sailboats for Jensen Marine. He met Chris Hall in '72 selling him boats for his Cal dealership, and then moved to Newport Beach, CA in 1973 to work at the main Jensen factory. When they shut down in '75 he went into yacht brokerage at The Crows Nest in Newport Bch. In 1986 he bought a custom 54’ Soveral cutter "Whistler", lived on board for six years and visited 38 countries on the west coast and across the Pacific. He moved to Wrightsville Beach, NC in 1993, sold "Whistler" and went back to yacht brokerage.

“I have a history of keeping my clients. I always put the client first and try my best to fulfill their boating needs to the best of my ability. I recently sold the 65' 2003 American Custom Yacht "Outlaw" to a California client I sold a Bertram 28 to in 1977. "Outlaw" was our ninth transaction! I Iook forward to continuing in this industry as long as possible.
