For over four decades, David Walters Yachts (DWY) has established itself as one of the most respected and trusted names in yacht brokerage. With offices in Fort Lauderdale, Annapolis, and St. Martin, as well as strategically positioned remote brokers in Newport, Palm Beach, Naples, and Destin, DWY offers a true national and international reach. Today, as the yacht market continues to thrive, DWY is announcing new opportunities for experienced yacht brokers and marine industry professionals to join our team.
This expansion reflects both the strength of our brand and our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest level of service, expertise, and results to our clients. For brokers seeking a platform that combines prestige, reputation, and opportunity, there has never been a better time to consider a career with David Walters Yachts.
A Trusted Name in Yacht Brokerage
Since 1982, DWY has represented buyers and sellers of premium yachts across the U.S.,Caribbean, and worldwide. Our brokers have guided clients through thousands of successful transactions, ranging from long-range motor yachts to downeast-style boats, bluewater sailing yachts, and luxury catamarans. Our team, as a whole, is diversified with a wide range of knowledge and first-hand experience aboard the yachts they represent.
However, beyond the numbers, DWY has established a reputation built on integrity, professionalism, and lasting client relationships. Many of our clients return to us repeatedly for multiple purchases and sales, and a significant portion of our business comes from referrals. For experienced brokers, this reputation is a powerful asset — one that opens doors and establishes trust from the very first client interaction.
Providing Our Team With Opportunities
At David Walters Yachts, we believe the success of our brokers begins with the opportunities we create for them. Unlike many firms that focus narrowly on a single market segment, DWY offers a wide-ranging portfolio of listings across motor yachts, sailing yachts, power yachts, and multihulls. This diversity ensures our team can connect with a broad spectrum of buyers and sellers, from coastal cruisers to bluewater passagemakers. And while many of our brokers have a specific specialization, our team as a whole is well versed on a wide breadth of boats.
In addition to brokerage, we represent a select group of high-quality new yacht builders, providing our brokers with the ability to offer clients fresh alternatives alongside pre-owned options. This combination strengthens relationships and broadens earning potential, allowing brokers to guide clients through multiple stages of yacht ownership.
Equally important is our collaborative culture. Our brokers work as part of a supportive team where knowledge, referrals, and resources are openly shared. Leadership is hands-on and invested, offering guidance without micromanagement and ensuring every broker has the backing needed to succeed. From advanced marketing tools to a dedicated administrative staff, DWY’s platform is designed to reduce friction, free up time, and empower brokers to focus on what they do best — cultivating relationships and closing deals.
For professionals ready to elevate their careers, DWY provides the balance of independence and support that makes true entrepreneurial success possible.
The Tools & Resources For Your Success
Yacht brokerage is a relationship business, but success also depends on having the right tools. At DWY, we invest heavily in providing our brokers with resources designed to help them succeed:
- Premium Marketing – Professional photography, videography, drone, and digital marketing campaigns that highlight every yacht at its best.
- Global Exposure – Strong presence on YachtWorld, Yachtr, MLS, and targeted campaigns across digital platforms.
- CRM & Lead Generation – Access to one of the most extensive CRM databases in the industry.
- Administrative Support – In-house transaction coordination and administrative support, allowing brokers to focus on clients, not paperwork.
- Team Culture – A collaborative environment where opportunities and referrals are shared, not siloed.
For brokers accustomed to managing everything on their own, the DWY platform provides a dramatic advantage — freeing up time to focus on generating new business and building stronger client relationships.
