She is an outstanding example of top quality and craftsmanship for which the  Island packets are known.

Drew Ferraro grew up in and around the waters of Southern California, surfing and working his first job as an ocean lifeguard. His passion for the sea led him to apply to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, where he served as Class President and graduated with his commission as an Officer in the Coast Guard.

Upon graduation, he served 7 continuous years on sea duty on 4 different ships, traveling to 28 countries across 3 continents. He served as Captain of both a 110’ Island Class Patrol Boat and a 154’ Fast Response Cutter, and as Navigator of a 418’ National Security Cutter. During that time, he also lived aboard a 39’ Ericson “ZENITH”, experiencing the liveaboard and marina lifestyle and cruising the Intracoastal Waterway.

After leaving the Coast Guard, Drew decided the perfect way forward was to join the team at Brewer Yacht Sales, putting his skill and knowledge to work for you.
