Testimonials
My point of contact was Jose Noy. He was an excellent salesman and good with paperwork. He referred me to reputable contractors such as insurance providers, loan originators, I had my trailer built to suit my needs and he arranged with the Marina for service records and transportation. I feel he went above and beyond and it should reflect upon the company he works for.
Florida Yachts International is not only the most reliable and helpful company at selling yachts, but also Florida Yachts provided the best weekend experience I’ve ever had in Miami (and I grew up in Miami). I booked one of their charters for Saturday on the water with a group of my closest friends and the experience was magical. The boat was huge, super well organized, and the crew went above and beyond. FYI made the experience easy to organize and memorable. See attached for a couple pics from the awesome trip. I can’t say enough good things.
Florida Yachts made purchasing a boat an enjoyable experience. Hiram Concepcion was extremely attentive, took calls during and after the purchase and the staff made the paper work process flow smoothly. I especially liked the electronic document signature process so traversing Miami-Dade traffic was not required. The best part is long after the sale, Hiram has turned out to be a good friend that is always available to provide advice and recommendations for boat servicing. GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Probably the best experience I had with the broker ever. I was purchasing a vessel located in south Florida from New Jersey. Arney and Michelle guided me through the whole transaction over the phone and email and were super helpful in not just arranging all pre prepurchase paperwork and survey, but also helping with addressing the issues that came up after the transaction was completed. Highly responsive and honest people.
FYI continues to have a such dedicate team! I Have purchased two boats through them. They handle finding you a boat all the way to closing and everything in between. Captian Hiram Concepcion even took me on the boat several times after closing to get me comfortable with my cruiser for the family. Highly recommended !
This is the best place to go for a yacht! Hands down, the most grious pros in the business. If you want to be happy about your purchase, bring your business to Florida Yachts International!!! You will be glad you did.
The guys at FYI are great! I specifically like working with Nick A. A few years back I was referred to Nick by a mutual friend and all of my interactions with him since then have been A+

In order to obtain a license as a Yacht Salesperson, an individual must complete an Initial Application, Application for a Yacht and Ship Employing Broker, Broker or Salesperson’s License – DBPR Form YS 6000-1 , obtain a $10,000 Surety Bond or Letter of Credit, submit a Fingerprint Card and a $51 fee or go to a Livescan vendor that is registered with FDLE for criminal background processing (NOTE: The Livescan vendor will charge you directly for the fingerprint scan), submit a $500 application fee, and provide information regarding affiliation under the license of a Florida Employing Broker on the application. The licensure period for a Yacht and Ship license is biennial (2 years) and upon completion of the first 2 consecutive years, a Yacht Salesperson may be eligible to upgrade their license to the status of a Yacht Broker or Employing Broker, both with the requirement of a $25,000 surety bond.
The basic duties of a Yacht Salesperson and a Yacht Broker are similar with the main difference being the Yacht Broker status indicates additional experience in the industry. Employing Brokers (and all licensees) must maintain a principal place of business in Florida, and have the option of being in sole practice or employing other Yacht Salespersons or Yacht Brokers in their company. If required, there may be more than one Employing Broker within each company. Employing Brokers also have the additional requirement of establishing an escrow (trust) account in a Florida financial institution. Effective July 01, 2020, licenses are no longer required for a Branch Office.
No later than 60 days prior to a license expiration date, all licensees are notified by mail with a Renewal Application, Application for Yacht and Ship License Renewal – DBPR Form YS 6000-6 . Licensees can then submit their renewal along with the required Surety Bond, Bond Continuation Certificate, or Letter of Credit ( see sample form ), and the $500 renewal fee. During renewal, if eligible, licensees may also upgrade their license status from Yacht Salesperson to Yacht Broker or Employing Broker, or downgrade their license from Employing Broker to Yacht Broker or Yacht Salesperson, or from Yacht Broker to Yacht Salesperson. Upgrades and downgrades may also be completed at any time during the biennial licensure period. Please note: If license renewals are not submitted 30 days after the expiration of the license, the licensee may need to reapply for licensure.
The Yacht and Ship Section announces a new online option that allows Yacht and Ship licensees the ability to renew their licenses online and receive expedited approval. Renewal notices will continue to be mailed to licensees 60 days prior to their license expiration, and once received, a licensee can visit DBPR’s ‘Online Services’ at https://www.myfloridalicense.com/activateaccountinstruct.asp to access the online renewal site. At this site, licensees can set up an account by clicking on ‘Renew Your License’ then selecting ‘Yacht and Ship’. Please note, licensees can still elect to submit a paper application and supporting documents if that process is more convenient.
All requests for publications, documents, forms, applications for licenses, permits and other similar certifications can be obtained by contacting the Customer Contact Center.

Flagler Yachts lists and sells a large variety of vessel builds for our clients. Those looking to purchase a yacht have a choice between popular designs — including sportfish, motor yachts, express and center console boats — to select a model that caters to your lifestyle. Discover more information about listings from industry-leading manufacturers with the following configurations in mind.
If you plan on chasing world records or fishing in local water, a sportfish boat enables owners to cruise through rough ocean waters to reach the fishing grounds in comfort. These sportfishing yachts have design capabilities for fishing and typically feature a larger cockpit area for trolling or live-baiting and storing all your equipment from fishing rods to bait and tackle. Depending on the model, sportfish yachts tend to cruise at a higher speed than a motor yacht.
Motor yachts technically refer to a large array of styles. These yachts typically offer larger volume, luxurious spaces and range in size from about 35 feet to well over 100 feet! Yachts in this category contain multiple decks for outstanding views of the ocean. Areas such as a fly-bridge, pilot house and sky lounge are common within multi-deck motor yachts.
Express yachts or express cruisers act as sport models for the boating industry. These yachts are engineered for speed and usually contain a single deck above hull structures for high speed and excellent maneuverability that any boat buyer would love.
Center console boats are smaller designs great for almost anything out on the water. Consider a center console boat from Flagler Yachts for a boat built for fishing, diving, cruising and ease of use versus their larger counterparts.

The process of buying a home has seemingly never been simpler: Find a property on a listings website like Zillow, Redfin or Trulia; reach out to the listing agent; tour the property; and make an offer.
But for years behind the scenes, experts say, consumers have not been fully aware of the ultimate cost — and potential conflicts of interest — when searching for a home.
Now, a landmark settlement with the National Association of Realtors is poised to upend this model. According to consumer advocates, and even some realtors, it’s a win for homebuyers and sellers.
“Price transparency is a good thing, increased competition is a good thing, and this will increase both,” said Mariya Letdin, an associate professor at Florida State University’s College of Business. “I really welcome this change.”
When someone goes looking for a home today, they are in most cases intercepted by a broker who has access to certain listings and who will work with the buyer at no cost upfront to help them get into a home.
But therein lies a common misconception, experts interviewed by NBC News said. Although a homeowner who puts their property up for sale must hire professionals to market their home, they usually fold that cost into the final price paid by the buyer.
“The buyer brings the entire purchase price to the table,” Letdin said. “And the seller gets to keep a little bit more of that after this ruling.”
As part of the new settlement, the buyer should now be fully apprised upfront about any potential fees or commissions they’ll ultimately have to pay.
That’s because the agreement requires that a buyer sign a formal contract with a broker laying out what services they’ll be receiving, and for how much.
Alternatively, a homebuyer could decide not to hire a broker and instead put their search costs toward a real estate lawyer, appraiser or someone else with knowledge of the housing market, experts say.
And a seller could even offer to cover the cost of the buyer’s team as an incentive to attract more buyers.
Of course, for a property that’s garnering a lot of attention, such buyer incentives are unlikely to be on the table.
And in the months following Covid-19 pandemic reopenings, the hottest U.S. real estate markets were tipped squarely in favor of sellers.
But now, with home price growth leveling off, the playing field is leveling out too, putting more buyers in the driver’s seat, experts say.
“Now you can hire an attorney for $1,500, instead of paying a $50,000 commission,” said Doug Miller, a real estate lawyer based in Minnesota who helped launch the actions that led to the NAR settlement.
Whomever a prospective buyer chooses as their representative in the homebuying process, the NAR settlement now formally bans the seller’s ability to advertise a commission for the buyer’s reps on the multiple listing service.
For its part, the NAR has maintained that the free market has always set commission levels, and that they were always negotiable — and even useful.
“Offers of compensation help make professional representation more accessible, decrease costs for home buyers to secure these services, increase fair housing opportunities, and increase the potential buyer pool for sellers,” the NAR said in its March 15 statement announcing the agreement.
But in most cases, there was little difference in the amount being offered for those commissions in a given market — usually about 3%.
That’s because any attempt to offer a lower commission to a buyer’s agent would likely motivate the agent to direct their client away from that property.
Miller characterized that behavior as improper and said buyers, in many cases, would have had no awareness of it.
“The future here is that buyers will now be in the driver’s seat,” Miller said. “Instead of that [commission] money going to their agent ... it can now go directly to the buyer. It’s the same amount of money, but now the buyer gets money instead of a buyer agent, and they can decide what to do with it.”
What’s more, greater competition for clients is likely to result in lower costs across the board, said Ryan Tomasello, a real estate industry analyst with the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods financial firm.
“When you introduce a ton of transparency to a marketplace that has historically lacked it, any economist will tell you that reduces friction costs — i.e., commissions — and those are some of the highest in the world,” Tomasello said. “So the all-in cost of buying and selling a home, in theory, is going to decline.”
Many experts, including other real estate professionals, agree that the settlement will effectively thin the ranks of fly-by-night agents who served as an intermediary — a phenomenon that surged during the pandemic-era housing boom.
“A lot of folks parachuted in during 2020-2021 to try to make easy extra money by putting themselves out there as a buyer agent and taking 3%,” said Phil Crescenzo Jr., vice president of the Southeast division at Nation One Mortgage Corp.
“But they weren’t bringing 3% of value — not even close.”
Crescenzo compared it to moonlighting mortgage brokers who helped fuel the housing bubble of the mid-to-late 2000s.
“Once they changed the compensation rules, the dominant professionals rose to the top, the bottom disappeared, and the industry got better,” Crescenzo said.
