Welcome to Sea Island Yacht Sales – Trusted Yacht Brokerage with Southern Roots and Offshore Expertise.
Born and raised on the waterways south of Charleston, South Carolina, Ed grew up hunting, fishing, and living life on the water. After earning a degree in finance and marketing from the University of South Carolina, he moved to Palm Beach in 1986 and quickly rose through the ranks at Ocean Yachts of Palm Beach—eventually managing the operation and personally selling 30 new yachts in a single year.
