The ones we reach for first.

Finance My Yacht

Frank Ramos

Frank Ramos has been arranging yacht financing since 1984 — over forty years in the market and more than a billion dollars in closed transactions. Finance My Yacht structures loans across the full range of ownership scenarios: fixed, adjustable, and interest-only programs for personal ownership, as well as corporate structures and foreign flag registry for buyers whose acquisition requires a more considered approach. His builder relationships span center consoles through superyachts, and he handles USCG documentation and foreign delivery coordination directly. For a transaction that needs more than a standard bank loan, Ramos has worked through the structure before.

Stacks Marine Insurance

Dani Lohrenz

Stacks Brokerage is a Florida-based independent insurance brokerage with a dedicated marine division — meaning they shop for coverages across multiple carriers rather than writing for a single company. Their boat and watercraft programs are structured around agreed hull value, liability, fuel spill coverage, and emergency assistance, with navigational range extending through coastal Canadian and Mexican waters. Dani is our direct contact and handles his clients with the same attention to detail we expect from every professional we recommend.

Robert Allen Law

Robert Allen Law operates out of Miami and Palm Beach, with a practice built directly around the lifecycle of yacht ownership — purchase contracts, sales, financing, charter agreements, and litigation when it comes to that. Their dedicated yacht inquiry line and Brickell address put them at the center of the South Florida maritime market, where the transactions are significant and the legal complexity to match. For buyers and sellers who want an attorney whose practice is organized around the vessel, not around it as a side matter, Robert Allen Law is a natural call.

Bradford Marine

Bradford Marine has been a cornerstone of the Fort Lauderdale marine industry since 1947. Their full-service yard handles haul-outs, bottom work, structural repairs, and major refit projects for recreational and commercial vessels up to 150 feet. For vessels transacting in South Florida that require pre-sale work or post-survey repairs, Bradford's dock and workforce represent a reliable, high-capacity option.

Blake Stahl & Associates

Blake Stahl

Accredited Marine Surveyor, Yacht and Small Craft

Jupiter, FL · 561.722.1874

Blake Stahl is an accredited marine surveyor based in Jupiter covering the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach corridor. His pre-purchase surveys are built around a thorough, documented assessment of the vessel's structural condition, mechanical systems, and market value — the kind of report that holds up at closing and gives a buyer a clear picture before the contingency clock expires.

Marine Safety Consultants, Inc.

William E. Benns

NAMS Certified Marine Surveyor

New England · 508.364.6788

William Benns holds the Certified Marine Surveyor designation from the National Association of Marine Surveyors (NAMS) and has built his practice around wooden vessel inspection throughout New England. A traditional wood hull demands a surveyor who understands planking systems, frame condition, fastening corrosion, and the particular failure modes that separate a well-maintained classic from a liability — Benns brings that knowledge directly.
