MEET Steve Messenger
“The Sea ... once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonders forever.” -
Jacques Cousteau
Steve enjoys helping people that share his passion for the sea pursue their
life’s dream of owning a yacht.
Steve grew up along the Manasquan River on the New Jersey shore. His first
paying jobs were as a boatyard hand and a mate on charter fishing boats.
Steve raced on the varsity sailing team in college and earned a captains license
at 20 years old. He has delivered boats from Massachusetts to Florida, the
Bahamas, and U.S. Virgin Islands and participated in many offshore fishing
tournaments for tuna and blue and white marlin.
With a 25-year career in yacht sales and as a boat owner himself, Steve’s
marine experience covers all facets of the boating lifestyle. He has sold,
delivered and serviced boats from 17 feet to 130 feet, with individual deals
up to $5.5 million. Steve believes yacht sales is a relationship and customer
service-driven business. After a deal closes, Steve continues to provide top
flight service and support to his clients to ensure they are happy with their
purchase and enjoying their boat.
Steve lives and works in New York City and covers the Mid-Atlantic region
spanning Maryland to New England. He likes to take his Blackfin around
Manhattan and surf the New York and New Jersey coastlines. Steve has two
adult children, Brittany and Ryan, and lives with his girlfriend Michelle and
their rescued poodle mix, Jack.
