Widely known in the yachting world as Captain Albert, he brings over 27 years of proven expertise across yacht management, operations, refits, charter, and brokerage. A graduate of the Yacht Broker’s Institute, Albert blends deep operational knowledge with a results-driven sales approach — making him a trusted advisor to yacht owners and buyers alike.

Originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Albert’s lifelong connection to the sea began on his father’s sportfishing boats, cruising the Caribbean from the Dominican Republic to the Virgin, Windward, and Leeward Islands. In 1998, he earned his Master 100 Ton license, launching a full-time maritime career running fishing charters, sailing catamarans, and 200-passenger ferries.

As his credentials grew — including a Master 3000 Ton license — so did his reach. He captained a wide range of luxury yachts across the Eastern Seaboard, Florida’s Gulf Coast, The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica, including:

· 164’ Trinity – AMARULA SUN

· 143’ Trinity – BIG CITY

· 130’ Westport – AMARULA SUN

· 120’ Hargrave – LA VIDA

· 112’ Westport – ESTANCIA

In brokerage, Albert’s standout ability lies in pairing clients with the right vessel through firsthand operational insight — advising on everything from build quality to maintenance and real-world performance.
