Fred Brown, CPYB

With a life-long passion for boats and the water much of what I've done in life has in one way or another involved boats. As a youngster, my family owned several boats which we kept in Branford, CT at the Indian Neck Yacht Club. After high school, I spent 12 years in the U.S. Coast Guard including 18 months in Alaska before returning to CT where I became a certified coxswain of Coast Guard search and rescue boats. We were always busy assisting boaters as that was back before companies like Sea Tow existed.

After my Coast Guard service, I worked for 10 years in the wholesale marine equipment business where I supplied boatyards and marine dealers throughout Connecticut. 

In 1983 I began selling new boats and have worked for reputable Connecticut dealerships.14 years at Milford Boat Works selling new Mako, Pursuit, Phoenix, Black Watch, Cape Dory, and North Coast powerboats plus O'Day, Cal, Pearson and Freedom sailboats. Then 14 years at Petzold's Marine selling new Sabre, Back Cove, Silverton, Mainship, Luhrs, Egg Harbor and Ocean powerboats. That's a lot of new boats!

In 2013, after 30 years of selling new boats I was ready for a change and decided to concentrate exclusively on the brokerage boat market. I joined Brewer Yacht Sales, one of the Northeast's largest yacht brokerage firms. I've now been with Brewer Yacht Sales over 12 years and I work out of two of Safe Harbor's largest Connecticut marinas: Bruce & Johnsons Marina in Branford, CT and Stratford Marina in Stratford, CT.

Buying or selling a yacht can be a comprehensive process and you should choose your broker carefully. I am proud of my reputation for honesty and my designation as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB). With 40+ years and well over a thousand boat sales transactions behind me, the knowledge and experience I've gained are invaluable when it comes to protecting my client's interests. Whether you are considering buying or selling, power or sail, I can help. I look forward to working with you.
