Miami Yacht Broker
A yacht does not exist in isolation. We understand how the vessel, the transaction, the operation, the dock and the way you intend to use it affect one another. You work directly with Gala Tressler, who brings 10 years in yacht brokerage, management and operations, and Valerie Gonzalez, a lifelong Miami boater with deep charter and client experience.

Why Yacht and Shore
We built Yacht and Shore around a simple idea: the right yacht and the right shore belong in the same conversation. Your yacht has to work with the way you travel, the dock where you return, the water that leads there and the systems that support life aboard.

Our approach is personal, informed and built around how you intend to own, use or sell your yacht.
For 10 years, Gala has helped clients buy and sell yachts while working across sales, management, operations, charter, negotiation and marketing.

Beyond The Listing
The right yacht broker should understand more than the boat. A listing cannot explain how the yacht should be transported, how a marina is managed, what kind of marina community you are joining or which captain, surveyor and engineer will keep a transaction moving. It cannot tell you whether a waterfront home has enough depth for the yacht’s draft or who should design the dock’s shore power and electrical systems.
Yacht and Shore connects the transaction to the people, logistics and technical decisions around ownership. Those details determine whether the yacht, the dock and the way you intend to use them will actually work together.

Yacht Intelligence
Brand profiles, model analysis and direct comparisons examine the differences that matter after the specifications have been read.
Begin with the legal operating model, not the yacht. Crewed charter, true bareboat charter, inspected passenger service and uninspected passenger service create different rules for control, captain, passenger count, insurance, contracts and advertising.
Read the article →Selling a YachtA technically good yacht can still be difficult to sell when it looks neglected, the listing creates expectations the yacht cannot meet, the broker oversells instead of identifying its real strengths, the process feels unnecessarily complicated or the asking price is disconnected from the market.
Read the article →Onboard TechnologyThe best onboard technology is not the system with the most screens. It is the system whose entertainment, lighting, climate, connectivity, monitoring and security functions work together, can be serviced and remain understandable to both owner and crew.

Read the model profile →Azimut YachtsThe Azimut Fly 68 moves into a four cabin plan while retaining pod propulsion and extensive use of carbon fibre. It is designed for owners who want larger yacht accommodation without moving into a substantially longer platform.
