Worldwide professional representation for buyers and sellers of premium ocean-going trawlers. Over three decades of bluewater expertise.
Jeff Merrill Yacht Sales, Inc. provides worldwide professional representation for buyers and sellers of new and used premium brand ocean-going trawlers.
Our brokers combine decades of hands-on bluewater cruising experience with deep technical knowledge of trawler systems. We don’t just sell boats — we are trawler owners, operators, and passionate advocates for the cruising lifestyle.
We specialize exclusively in premium trawlers that serious cruisers trust for deep sea travel and ocean crossings. We prefer fiberglass builds like, Nordhavn, Selene, Kadey-Krogen, Fleming, Marlow, DeFever, American Tug, Nordic Tug and all many other ocean capable brands.
Honesty and integrity guide every transaction. A small price to pay for the counsel of a certified, professional yacht broker.
From first-time trawler buyers to experienced cruisers upgrading, we provide expert guidance through the entire purchasing process — vessel selection, sea trials, surveys, negotiations, and closing.
Strategic pricing analysis, professional marketing, worldwide exposure, and hands-on management of every detail from listing to closing. Your deposits are secured in trust accounts.
Our Trawler Advocate program provides personalized coaching on systems, operations, and the cruising lifestyle. We travel worldwide to preview and inspect trawlers on your behalf.
Ordering a new Selene or other premium trawler? We guide you through the build specification process, factory visits, sea trials, and delivery with decades of new-build experience.
