Sell with control
Performance boats trade inside networks: captains, prior owners, repeat buyers, and brand followers. Activity is not a transaction. We control the process, not simply advertise the boat.

Why Frigate Yachts
Premium vessels don't move through open markets alone; they move best through relationships.
Captains with requirements, prior owners who trust us, repeat buyers watching for the right opportunity. Listing a boat publicly generates exposure.
Exposure is not a sale. Strategic positioning, generating qualified interest, and ability sells premium vessels.
What we do
Frigate Yachts manages vessel transactions for premium center consoles and sportfishing boats in South Florida. We are not just a listing service. We control exposure, qualify buyers, and coordinate every step from positioning through closing.
Most failed transactions are emotional, informational, or execution problems. We exist to remove them, replacing reactive brokerage with controlled representation and direct client counsel from first call through closing.
Controlled Exposure
Targeted placement, not open inquiry handling.
Qualified Buyers
Vetted discussions through our network.
Structured Process
Terms defined before emotion escalates.
End-to-End Execution
Survey through closing, fully coordinated.
Buy with clarity
We represent buyers with a defined process: mission fit, vessel evaluation, structured diligence, and disciplined negotiation. Clear information allows confident decisions.
Buyer representationWe don't just sell boats. We manage transactions and represent assets.

“Working with McLean was a breeze. He goes WAY above and beyond. From running to Miami to get eyes on her to towing her to St Augustine to still lending an ear for thoughts on improvements. What started as a business transaction became a friendship. You can put your trust in McLean, he won't let ya down!”
“Excellent customer service! McLean went above and beyond to make our deal happen. He is very knowledgeable and it shows in the attention to detail he provides. We had a very smooth transaction and professional sale. Would definitely recommend and use him for any future purchases or sales.”
“William McLean surpassed all of my expectations. The process of selling my boat through him was stress-free and fast. He handled all aspects of the process personally and professionally, he is my go-to guy going forward.”
“Excellent service. Went above and beyond many times to find and close on my contender. Did everything he said he would do and more. Extremely smooth transaction even though the boat was out of town. I would not buy a boat with anyone else. He also helped me sell a boat in a difficult market and made it look easy.”
Your vessel transaction is emotional. Our information and experience keep the decisions rational.
