About Us
Chesapeake Yacht Brokers is a small business that is deep in experience. At a time when the marine industry is dominated by large corporations that believe bigger is better and see a customer as an account number, Chesapeake Yacht Brokers is focused on building solid relationships, personal service and an uncompromising reputation for excellence. We bring our passion for boats and life on the water to our work and share this passion with our clients everyday. Chesapeake Yacht Brokers, which operates in conjunction Chesapeake Sailmakers, offers a natural synergy as all of our clients have a boat and boat owners are always thinking about buying and selling. This offer the brokerage a steady stream of potential Buyers and Sellers and offers boat owners easy access to information and advice.
The O'Malley Brothers bring decades of experiences in the marine industry and the Annapolis area dating back to the mid-seventies when they cruised the Atlantic Coast, Chesapeake Bay and raced in the IOR and MORC fleets. In the early 1980's, after hand-building their 25' MORC racer, the brother campaigned her between the New Jersey coast in the summer and Annapolis in the Spring and Fall. In 1987 Chuck and Bill both moved to Annapolis full time and have been established here ever since. Over the past few years Chuck and Bill have continued to compete in the local fleets as well as many grand-prix events includiing the Farr 40 and Transpac 52 classes. Their other passion is for Cruising Rallies and Blue-Water yachts, where they have hosted many educational seminars and offer valuable advise to cruising sailors preparing for offshore voyages.
Chesapeake Yacht Brokers sells new and previously owned racing, cruising and blue-water yachts. It is rare to find a yacht brokerage that equally support the racing and cruising markets so effectively. Our background in sailmaking, boatbuilding and yacht design provide us with insight and understanding as to the various qualities and characteristics of a yacht. This enables us to help our Buyers locate the right yachts and help our Sellers correctly market their yachts for a quicker sale. We have extensive experience with overseas purchases, importing, shipping and land transport. We offer Buyer Broker support, consulation services and project management. Chesapeake Yacht Brokers is your full service broker capable of supporting all your yacht purchase and sale requirements.
