Forbes Horton Yachts

Specialties

Representing Buyers and Sellers of Fine Sailing & Motor Yachts

History

Established in 2011.

As yacht brokers based in Annapolis, MD, we have had to travel further and more often to find quality power and blue water sailing yachts for our buyers. Our yacht brokers have traveled to New England, Florida and all over the Mid Atlantic recently in order to find quality listings. The firming financial market trend and lack of brokerage inventory, specifically with regards to blue water boats, has caused prices to firm along the entire Mid Atlantic making Annapolis a perfect place to sell your boat. As yacht brokers in Annapolis, MD, we work hard not to just put your boat on the market by simply hanging a sign on the rail. We study the trends, inform our clients and put our listings in the market. At first glance, there seem to be many choices for yacht brokerage representation when it comes to selling your blue water sailboat or your powerboat. Give us a call today and we will prove that there is only one.

Business Owner

Cleaveland Forbes Horton began his professional yacht brokerage career working for Martin Bird & Associates in Annapolis, MD and quickly became a top producer at the firm. He has been a YBAA member since 2007 and earned his Certified Professional Yacht Broker credentials in 2010. An expert in cruising sailboats and efficient power boats, he has helped hundreds of boaters buy and sell their yachts nationally and internationally.

Horton was exposed to the yachting industry as a child. His father, Cleaveland F. Horton Sr., the owner and founder of Sea Frost marine refrigeration, introduced him to the top manufactures in the industry and provided him with an insider’s view of the yacht construction and design process. On windless summer evenings he and his wife, Jamie, and their two young boys, Hendrix and Maxwell, are often seen ghosting through the harbor aboard SCOUT, their custom-​built Handy Billy motor launch.
