As HMY Yacht Sales celebrates its 46th anniversary, we’re proud to look back on a year defined by growth, innovation, and exceptional client experiences. Since 1979, our commitment to excellence has set the standard in the yachting world, and 2025 has proven to be one in which we did so in some excitingly expansive ways.
From extending our footprint across South Florida to debuting some of the most anticipated yachts on a global stage, this year reflects both our enduring legacy and forward momentum. Here’s a closer look at some of the highlights.
Two New Locations for Expanded Sales and Service
Gran Park Sales Office
In April, we announced the opening of our Gran Park sales office in Stuart, FL. Strategically situated to serve the thriving boating community of South Florida, this full-service brokerage and new boat dealership supports buyers of all market segments. With an oversized lot, boaters can get an ample, up-close view of dozens of spectacular models on display.
Willoughby Creek Service Location
In June, we further expanded our footprint with the addition of our Willoughby Creek service location. The facility offers the comprehensive, white-glove yacht services that are part of our legacy, including:
-
Mechanical and cosmetic maintenance
-
Survey hauls
-
Bottom, topside, and hull paint
-
Detailing
Additionally, the service team at this new hotspot includes two technicians certified in V12 Mercury outboard motors — a specialty within the industry.
Groundbreaking FLIBS Debuts
In addition to the Princess F58, the 2025 FLIBS featured an outstanding assortment of the yachting world’s latest and greatest, with HMY at the forefront. The event continues to be among the most highly anticipated boat shows of the season, and this year HMY was proud to once again have exhibited one of the largest and most diverse selections on site. Some of our standout vessels on display included:
-
Viking 50 Convertible (50C): This exquisite three-stateroom battlewagon marks the third generation of the Viking 50, featuring a streamlined walk-around center console and a thoughtfully designed length-to-beam ratio for maximum speed and a smooth, dry ride.
-
Viking 64 Convertible (64C): Now offered with the powerful MANN V12X-2200 engines, this model stands out in its class as an ideal choice for owner-operators as well as large crews looking to pursue the tournament circuit. In addition to its exceptional performance and mechanical prowess, the 64C has a stunning molded-in staircase replacing the standard cockpit ladder.
-
Princess S80: A sportbridge yacht unlike any other, the Princess S80 marries sleek high-performance features with the sophisticated feel of a flybridge. Expansive panoramic windows drench the main deck interior in sunlight, which is home to a spacious salon, well-appointed galley, and inviting lounge. The luxurious four en-suite cabins below deck stun and soothe in equal measure.
-
Princess F58: Featuring a sophisticatedly sleek and intelligent layout with three spacious staterooms and two private heads, the breathtaking flybridge represents an eco-conscious middle-ground between the brand’s preexisting 55-foot and 60-foot classes.
-
Nimbus 495: Purpose-built for long-distance voyages, the 49-foot Nimbus 495 is marked by sensible Scandinavian styling, smart functionality, and outstanding safety. With outdoor spaces poised for entertaining, a galley equipped for gourmet cooking, and generous cabins, the yacht has everything you could need or want for extended travel.
-
Valhalla V-55 Sport Yacht: Experience the evolution of luxury cruising with the Valhalla V-55 Sport Yacht. This high-performance vessel features four Mercury outboards, expansive fold-down balconies for waterside entertaining, and Viking's signature craftsmanship throughout. Fast, stable, and beautifully appointed—built for those who demand excellence.
An Evolving Sales Management Team
To continue our commitment of excellence to our clients, HMY Yacht Sales has also expanded our sales management team this year:
-
Second-generation yacht broker Bobby Damas joined HMY in 2018 and is now part of our sales management team.
-
Our Viking Yachts sales management team grew with the additions of longtime product specialist Rob Spano and former Viking Yachts Service Advisor Forrest Robertson.
-
Following four years as a full-time yacht broker, Jason Norcross moved into the role of dedicated Sales Manager for Princess Yachts.
-
Earlier in the year, we also welcomed lifelong mariner and well-connected industry veteran John Dial as our ECLIPSE Sales Manager.
The 82’ Viking’s Breakout Year
The much-anticipated Viking 82 Convertible was a showstopper at the 2024 FLIBS, and recent sales have reflected boaters’ enthusiastic reception of this size class. Made for both serious fishing and luxury cruising, the 82 has been a popular model for 2025: HMY Yacht Sales Professional Michael Strassel sold two 82 Vikings hulls #8 and #11, and four have been delivered in total this year - with a fifth being finished up at the factory.
The Largest Lowcountry Cup to Date
As another part of our bustling spring season, in May we hosted the 3rd Annual HMY Lowcountry Cup Billfishing Tournament. This year’s event was the largest to date, with more than 30 boats participating. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors who helped make the tournament a success.
HMY Yacht Sales’ New Website
Lastly, you may have also noticed changes taking shape on our website throughout the past year. In addition to recent aesthetic enhancements and a smoother, easy-to-navigate experience, soon we’ll be rolling out even more features including:
-
A dedicated virtual tours page
-
A page for recently sold boats (coming soon)
-
A “search-by-zip code” feature
Representing a New Brand
In 2025, HMY Yacht Sales became Florida’s East Coast dealer for MJM Yachts through a shared commitment to innovation, performance, and elevated cruising experiences. As MJM continued expanding its presence in the premium day-yacht and express cruising market, HMY’s reputation, client network, and decades of yacht sales leadership made the partnership a natural fit. The collaboration brings MJM’s advanced composite builds and iconic Carolina Downeast styling directly to HMY clients from the Georgia border to Key West, strengthening both brands and setting the stage for exciting growth ahead.

With nearly five decades behind us and an exciting horizon ahead, HMY Yacht Sales remains steadfast in our mission: to deliver an unparalleled yachting experience today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
