History
Established in 2007.
Founded in 2007 in West Palm Beach during the decline of the boating industry, Export Yacht Sales was able to stay afloat by purchasing and refurbishing boats as well as the brokerage business. In 2012, as the brokerage business improved, Export Yacht Sales opened a second mobile office in Miami and increased brokerage sales totaling approximately one boat a week. In 2013, due to the owners background in commercial shipping, the company was renamed Export Yacht & Ship.
