Family Founded. Employee Owned.

Our Legacy Our Future

What began as a humble family dream on the docks of Anna Maria Island, in 1970, has evolved into one of the most respected names in the yachting world — built on integrity, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

In 2025, we turned the page to an extraordinary new chapter, becoming a 100% employee-owned company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This historic milestone not only honors our past but also empowers every team member to shape our future. Together, we’re steering Galati Yacht Sales forward with renewed purpose — where ownership, pride, and dedication run as deep as our promise to those we serve.

Now, let’s travel back in time and experience the decades that shaped Galati Yacht Sales into who we are today.
