We are excited to announce that Catamaran Central is expanding our team with the addition of our first new broker, allowing us to provide even more personalized and expert service to our clients.
When Laura and I took the scary step to quit our jobs and start our own business, we had no idea what the future would hold. We knew that if we remained hyper-focused on our core business we would be successful; just how successful, was something neither of us could have predicted. In our first two years we’ve successfully closed close to $100,000,000 in sales. By the middle of 2022, as a 2-man operation, we knew that something had to change not only for our mental health, but also to grow Catamaran Central into something truly special.
There is so much more to a successful yacht sales business than just closing transactions. As Laura and I discussed how to grow this business, a very short list of names came together of brokers who we thought embodied the characteristics of an excellent yacht broker.
One of the very first names on that list was Peter Obetz. He and I first met when I was still with Denison Yachting and over the last 3-4 years Peter and I have been in the trenches together, albeit not always on the same team. In fact, it was those few occasions where we were on opposing sides that I got a glimpse into why Peter is one of the best catamaran brokers.
His moral compass is unwavering, his communications skills are second to none, and he puts his client’s needs above his own interests; all traits that we embrace here at Catamaran Central.
Peter and his wife Christy have been living aboard their boats for over 10 years, and he is one of the few brokers in this business who has purchased a new catamaran to live aboard full-time. He brings a wealth of real-world knowledge that 95% of the brokers in our industry lack and that is one of the many amazing traits that sets Peter apart from other brokers.
Peter could have chosen to work at any brokerage firm and we feel honored to have him join the Catamaran Central family. We know Peter and Christy will thrive at Catamaran Central and look forward to having everyone get to know him.
