Why Our Team Stands Out

Trawler Owners Themselves

The JMYS team isn't just selling boats — most are trawler owner-operators with thousands of hours and miles at sea. You're working with people who actually live the lifestyle.

Trawler Specialists

Unlike generalist brokers, the JMYS team focuses exclusively on trawlers, bringing unmatched depth of knowledge to every transaction.

Nationwide Coverage

With team members on the West Coast, East Coast, Chesapeake Bay, and Pacific Northwest, JMYS covers every major U.S. cruising market.

Our Philosophy

A Team Built on Shared Values

Every member of the JMYS team shares the same core values that Jeff Merrill established when he founded the company: dedication, determination, and drive. These aren't just words on a page — they guide every client interaction, every trawler evaluation, and every transaction from start to finish.

“When you hire JMYS as your trawler advocate, you are drawing on a lifetime of boating and decades of marine business knowledge to assist with purchasing or selling your trawler.”

Each broker on our team brings their own unique strengths and regional expertise, but they all share a deep passion for trawlers and a commitment to going above and beyond for clients. Whether you're just beginning to explore the trawler lifestyle or you're ready to make your move, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process.
