"I’ve known Kevin Ralph for almost 20 years. I’ve had dealings with him on fifteen million dollar boats,
complicated three and four boat transactions, and simple small closings. In every case he has been straight
forward, and on target. He has always been willing to go the extra mile and has always put his clients first and
foremost and protected their interests, even to his own deteriment.
Lastly, but foremost, he is an honest man and you will always know where you stand with him."

At Skywater Yachts we understand that buying or selling your yacht is a serious financial undertaking, regardless of the budget. We pride ourselves on putting our clients first and using the knowledge and global contacts we have garnered over the years to expedite the selling process.
With nearly 3 decades of experience in the sale and purchase of yachts around the world, we have the tools to get the job done:
Located in one of the highest concentrations of yachts in the world, Fort Lauderdale, FL. is also a mecca for Buyers from around the globe wishing to view a wide variety of yachts for sale. It allows our team to be able to view and preview dozens of vessels, which in turn allows us to be able to offer guidance to Sellers about the marketplace, sales and the competition for their boat.
Marketing:
Having your yacht marketed correctly is of critical in getting it sold. This starts with an objective assessment of your boat and where it stands in the marketplace from other vessels currently on the market and even more importantly what has recently sold. As such we will give a free market evaluation on what we think the vessel will sell for, based on these factors, as well as what you should do to maximize the selling time and price for your yacht. A lot of Sellers make the initial mistake of listing their yacht with the broker that gives them the highest “evaluation”. In our decades of experience, we feel that pricing a vessel correctly from the start is critical in not only selling the boat within a reasonable period of time but also maximizes the selling price, although this may sound counter-intuitive at first.
Yachts, just like most consumable products garner the most activity and interest when they first come on the market. Consequently a boat that is priced too high, will not only get no offers, but will eventually languish and be ignored in the marketplace, even though the price gets reduced to below what it could have sold for, since most people assume that there is something wrong with a boat if it’s been on the market for years! The only thing wrong very often, is the fact that it was priced too high to start with. We have seen this happen time and again, initial pricing is critical to maximizing the selling price!
We have participated in International Boat Shows, from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Palm Beach, Monaco and Cannes and believe that Boat Shows are a critical component to get maximum exposure for the yacht, when combined with e-mail, internet and print marketing campaigns.

Testimonials:
“I have known Kevin for longer than I care to remember (about 25 years!) and during the course of this time
he has been involved in six transactions, either helping me buy or sell one of the yachts I have owned, from a
70’ Hatteras M.Y to a 95’ Broward and a few in between.
I have not only come to rely on his expert knowledge of the marketplace, which is almost encyclopedic, but
due to his unwavering honesty and integrity, I have come to trust his judgment in finding the right boat, for
me, regardless of his own financial gains or losses.
I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to anyone seeking to buy or sell their yacht in this ever evolving
marketplace."
