A Broker Who Understands More Than Just Boat
For many yacht buyers, the search isn’t just about horsepower, length, or brand names — it’s about finding a vessel that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. That’s where Peter Kelly, one of our Licensed Yacht Consultants at FYI Yachts, shines. With a background in international business and finance paired with a lifelong passion for boating, Peter brings both practical expertise and lifestyle insight to every client he works with. From childhood days wakeboarding on California lakes to cruising the waters of South Florida, Peter has lived the boating lifestyle he now helps clients achieve.
Matching Yachts to Lifestyles
One of Peter’s unique strengths as a broker is his ability to match a client’s vision with the right yacht. He understands that a yacht is more than a purchase — it’s a gateway to experiences. For anglers chasing mahi in the Florida Keys, Peter recommends versatile fishing-focused brands like Intrepid. For day cruisers who want sleek performance and style, he often points clients toward Pardo, VanDutch, or Fjord. And for those dreaming of extended adventures or Mediterranean escapes, Peter looks to Italian builders like Sunseeker and Pershing, blending comfort with cutting-edge design.
By starting with how his clients want to use their yacht — not just what they want to buy — Peter ensures every recommendation leads to the right fit.
Guiding Buyers Through Every Step
Purchasing a yacht is a journey that extends beyond the initial search. From the moment a client begins working with Peter, they have a partner who provides insight at every stage. He helps buyers evaluate not only specifications and performance but also resale value, long-term maintenance, and overall suitability for their intended use.
Peter’s background in international business gives him an added edge when assisting clients who are navigating cross-border transactions or considering yachts abroad. Whether negotiating on behalf of his clients or coordinating with surveyors and closing teams, Peter’s goal is always to make the buying process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
A Passion for the Water, A Network for Results
Peter doesn’t just sell yachts — he lives the lifestyle. His own most memorable boating moments include fishing trips with close friends and exploring hidden gems like Elliot Key south of Miami. This personal connection allows him to speak authentically with clients, building trust through shared experiences.
At the same time, Peter’s growing network within the yachting world gives buyers an advantage. From uncovering yachts that haven’t yet reached the open market to guiding clients through international opportunities, his connections create access and confidence throughout the buying process.
