Andy Kimbel

Andy Kimbel sold his first boat, a new Cape Dory 33, in 1979, while also enjoying a career as a professional Pilot. As he became more involved in yacht sales and sailing, the passion to be on the water eventually won out over flying airplanes. Andy brings forth over 35 years of experience in boat ownership, yacht brokerage and new boat sales. He grew up sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, the mid-Atlantic coastal waters and the Virgin Islands.

 Andy recently relocated to Southern California from the East Coast where he managed a yacht dealership and brokerage firm with offices in 6 States, serving boat owners and yacht enthusiasts across North America and even parts of Europe.

 In addition to yacht sales, Andy created and hosts the talk radio show ”Boat Talk Live!” where he, along with various experts, discusses a wide variety of aspects having to do with boat ownership and life on the water. Earlier in his career, Andy launched an online service where he supplied thousands of boaters across North America with an array of marine electronics and boating hardware.

 Kimbel has vast experience in both brokerage and new boat sales in size ranges 35’ to 150’. He does not just sell boats, he shares a contagious passion for life on the water and has a strong commitment to cultivating long lasting relationships matching the most appropriate vessel to the new owner, providing personalized assistance and service every step of the way. When he is not enjoying life on the water, you are likely to find Andy enjoying his other passion performing folk and blues music at venues and festivals in different parts of the country.
