Captain Roger Smith

Since arriving in San Diego in the early 1980's, nothing has been more satisfying than seeing his clients' appreciation for his efforts in finding them exactly what they are looking for. If you are looking to work with someone who will listen and deliver, give John a call for the personal attention you are counting on.

I grew up in a nautical family on Long Island Sound. I tended lobster pots before I was ten years old and fished with family vessels through adolescence, earned my Sea Scouts License in high school, and managed the building of 6 Minimax Hydroplanes with my friends who had hand-me-down outboard engines. At 16, I was introduced to sailing which changed my life.

I moved to Colorado from San Diego in 1982 and took a captain's job which launched my career in the marine industry. I got my first Yacht Sales Professional license in 1985 and have been working since to provide my clients with excellent service.

I graduated from the Maritime Institute in 2003 and upgraded my Merchant Marine License to 100 Master with steam and sail endorsements. Since my first license, I have helped people with their boating needs in power vessels and sailing yachts up to 95' and $3 million. I am a current "TWIC" car holder, am in great health, and I truly love this business and the people I get to work with.
