Fifty years is a long time to stay true to an idea. Oceans change. Cities grow. People come and go. But at Grand Yachts Inc., one thing has never shifted: the belief that trust is built the same way a good boat is built—one honest decision at a time.

Since 1976, we’ve been here on the coast, helping people find their way to the water. What began as a small brokerage driven by a handful of stubborn perfectionists has become a name people know they can count on. Not because we shouted the loudest, but because we did the work—one client, one vessel, one promise kept at a time—until the reputation spoke for itself.

We’ve never thought of ourselves as salespeople. We’re intermediaries between craftsmanship and those who appreciate it, between a builder’s precision and an owner’s trust. For five decades, that connection has been our compass. Every yacht we’ve placed, every deal we’ve closed, every client who’s worked with us over the years through multiple sales and purchases—that’s the true measure of our work.

You don’t last fifty years in this business by cutting corners or chasing trends. You last because you keep showing up. You return the call. You remember the small things. You know the difference between a promise and a platitude. For our clients, expectation isn’t an empty word—it’s a high standard. Consistently meeting that standard is the reason we’re still here.

We’ve weathered market crashes, changing tastes, and new technologies that made the impossible look routine. Through it all, the core remained the same: do it right or don’t do it. Integrity isn’t a slogan, it’s the quiet work of keeping your word when no one’s watching.

As new generations took the helm, that philosophy carried forward. The names on the business cards may change, but our values don’t. The trust our clients place in us was earned slowly, deliberately, over decades—and it will be protected the same way for decades to come.

So here we are, fifty years on. Still doing what we said we would. Still believing that the best kind of success is the kind that doesn’t need explaining.

To every client, builder, industry partner and friend who’s shared the journey with us: thank you for holding us to the highest standard. You’ve made us better for it.

Here’s to fifty years of Grand Yachts Inc.—and to the quiet, steady work of earning trust, one vessel at a time.
