An International Heritage

Born from Genuine Relationships

Founded in 1992, American Yachts began as a small operation specializing in the import and export of vessels around the world. With our founder and CEO being a native of the United Kingdom, Gordon Burgess was able to establish relationships with dealers, brokers, logistics partners and boat owners, not only in Europe but in 6 of 7 continents. Early on, these relationships helped to fuel exponential growth and propelled the business into what it is today: an internationally recognized, full-service and first-class Yacht Brokerage company.

This is the origin of our slogan – Globally Local. Most importantly, we believe that creating and nurturing relationships with our clients is the key to our success. Our team of professional brokers is committed to learning and understanding your every need, and will Our Heritage provide a seamless and enjoyable experience from first introduction to the closing of a sale and beyond. American Yachts has sold thousands of boats in our nearly three decades of doing business both domestically and internationally. Let us use our extensive industry knowledge, reputation and experience to shatter your expectations for buying, selling or trading in your next vessel.
