Our History

Dave D’Onofrio Yacht Sales is a leading independent yacht brokerage with offices in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. Established in 1989, DDYS has a long record of success serving our clients both before and after the sale, ensuring a positive experience for them on the water. The vast majority of our clients – both buyers and sellers – have been referred to us by other clients in the United States and worldwide. We are proud of our tradition of service to the boating community and we value the relationships we have built for more than two decades in the yacht business. All of us at DDYS strive to make sure your ownership experience and sale or purchase, are pleasurable and headache free. Our extensive network of service providers and vendors helps us to ensure your entire ownership experience is a positive one.

Integrity and professionalism are a hallmark of our business; our reputation is our most valued asset and we welcome the opportunity to provide you with superior service, ethical transactions and excellent support throughout your purchase or sale. We are proud to welcome you to our waterfront offices at the Fort Lauderdale Marina and the North Palm Beach showroom. DDYS represents a large selection of centrally listed new and pre-owned vessels, from center console fishing boats to mega-yachts. We also have access to all other brokerage vessels available through the industry central listing systems.

To make the purchase experience easier for our clients and to provide 24-hour access to all listed vessels, DDYS launched Yacht Access in 2001 to better serve our customers. Yacht Access is an interactive website that provides buyers with an easier way to find their next boat and sellers with more exposure when contemplating the sale of a vessel. We are excited, to announce the re-launch of Yacht Access - the new website will provide better connectivity with the latest in social media and web technology, while providing greater access and better results for our clients. Please take this opportunity to tour our new website; we are certain that you will find it to be both easy to navigate and informative. Continuous innovation and improvement are critical to our success, and providing the best tools for our clients is our first priority. We welcome your comments and suggestions on how to enhance our new site to better serve your needs. Please contact us directly at 954-527-4848 with your input.

Thank you for visiting the new Yacht Access. All of us at Dave D’Onofrio Yacht Sales look forward to exceeding your expectations!
