Whether you’re a first-time buyer chasing a lifelong dream or a seasoned mariner ready to upgrade to your next vessel, choosing the right brokerage makes all the difference. In Fort Lauderdale — a city synonymous with world-class yachting — one name continues to rise above the rest: Seacliff Yachts.
Built on a Legacy of Integrity
Seacliff Yachts isn’t just another brokerage. It’s the continuation of a storied yachting heritage, anchored by the legendary Frank Gordon.
Frank’s story is the kind you don’t forget. A kid from Brooklyn who fell in love with boats, he made his way down the Intracoastal Waterway and arrived in Fort Lauderdale — a place he called “paradise” — and never looked back. Starting by moving boats around in Sheepshead Bay, New York, he earned his sea legs before building one of the most respected careers in the yacht brokerage industry.
Long before digital listing platforms existed, Frank Gordon was the central clearinghouse for yacht sales in South Florida. His meticulous three-ring binder system — packed with facts, figures, vessel conditions, and ownership histories — became the model that other brokers relied on. As Mike Joyce, CEO of Hargrave Custom Yachts, put it: “Before there was any MLS, there was Frank Gordon. If you walked up to anyone who has been a broker for 20 years and said ‘name three brokers who have had an impact on this business,’ my guess is Frank Gordon’s name would be number one.”
That legacy of honesty, precision, and genuine care for clients is the DNA of Seacliff Yachts today.
A Premier Destination for Buyers
Seacliff Yachts specializes in connecting buyers with the finest selection of pre-owned yachts, catamarans, and boats— both locally in Fort Lauderdale and across the globe. With thousands of listings spanning motor yachts, cruisers, express cruisers, flybridge yachts, center consoles, sportfishing boats, and more, the inventory is as deep as the ocean itself.
But what truly sets Seacliff apart isn’t just the selection — it’s the expertise behind every transaction. Their licensed brokers bring real market insight and personal attention to every search, helping buyers navigate the market and find the right vessel at the right price. And if you haven’t found what you’re looking for in the public listings? The team regularly has access to off-market deals that never appear online.
Everything You Need to Sell with Confidence
Selling a yacht is a significant financial decision, and Seacliff Yachts treats it that way. Sellers benefit from professional yacht valuation and market comparisons, strategic listing support, and a brokerage network that reaches qualified buyers locally and internationally. For those looking for alternative exit strategies, Seacliff also offers tax write-off and donation options — a smart avenue worth exploring with your financial advisor.
