Announcing the introduction of “Poquito”, a gorgeous Duffy 31 we managed to buy in 3.5 days between Christmas and New Years (detailed story of all that craziness to come)!

Poquito will be a great addition enabling me to bring you even better PNW boating content, maintenance tutorials, on-water training for clients, and charters for special events later this year.

I planned to be here on a boat. I’ve been looking for my next boat for almost a year now. We’ve been looking for a boat we could spend time in the San Juan Islands, while also being a fun boat for Lake Washington where we live. A boat that could transform from fun for big groups on the lake to cozy and protected for us.

The fact that you are here, on my own personal website, reading a blog post about me, is something I never expected to ever happen, but I’m so glad it has, and I’m SO glad you’re here! Taking the steps to launch my personal brand has taken time, and a lot of thought, but it’s been such an incredible journey, and one I thought would be interesting to share.

This is probably one of the most commonly asked questions I receive as a yacht broker. While every boat is unique, and there are ultimately many factors that play into the total cost of ownership, I’ve found a simple way to structure your thinking of what a particular yacht will cost you over time. Here’s my formula.
