• Laura McInnes, owner of  Blue Water Cruising Yachts, LLC:
• Ever since I was a young girl watching my Father's Supertankers leave the shipyard, I have dreamed of getting my 100T license and driving large boats. When I was 27, I purchased my
  first sailboat and have owned 13 sail/motor yachts since then.
  I have enjoyed owning and navigating vessels along the entire east coast: including Ocean Yachts
  Sea Rays, and Sailboats as well as helping with multiple deliveries for
  clients and doing charter trips for Anchor rides. 
• In my spare time I love to race 50 ft sailboats.
  I have had a successful 20-year career in operations, marketing, and training with Fortune 500 companies Proctor & Gamble, Kraft, and the E.J. Gallo Winery.  My career has taught me the
  importance of customer service excellence, building life-long relationships, attention to detail,
  and executive level negotiating skills to close deals.
  Much of my expertise as a boat broker today came from my previous experiences buying and selling my
  own boats. Boats are a huge investment and you need someone who treats your purchase as
  their own, who pays enough attention to detail to avoid COSTLY mistakes. 
• Prior to becoming
  a broker I spent thousands of dollars: Traveling to see boats that weren't a good fit, Paying for
  inspections on boats that never should have made it past the broker’s review, Looking at
  boats that did not have good resale value, Making offers on boats that had inaccurate
  comps...
  As your trusted partner in buying or selling a boat, I would like to provide you with market
  insights that meticulously analyze current market conditions, provide you with accurate
  comps and resale data. My goal is to make sure you have the information you need to make
  the best decision possible when buying or selling a boat.
  Outside of work I enjoy playing tennis, pickleball, diving, and traveling.
  

I am passionate about helping my clients get on the water with the Picture Perfect Boat.    Our boat buying assessment & comparison spreadsheets and purchase process checklists will help you find the right boat, at the right price, with a smooth inspection process...after all wasn't boat buying supposed to be fun?  Unfortunately for most people the process isnt' fun and because nobody paid attention to the details costly mistakes were made.
