By Reg Bates

In 1977, a life-changing invitation to sail in the Bahamas sparked a lifelong passion for boating. This led to the purchase of a Shark-class sailboat and enrollment in Humber College’s Yachting Studies Program. A pivotal refit project on a Sparkman & Stephens 48’ Yawl led to offshore sailing and a charter business in the USVI. With decades of brokerage experience in the Caribbean and Canada, expertise spans yacht valuation, sales, and guiding clients through life-changing sailing adventures. A resident of St. Maarten, an active sailor, and a longtime industry professional, he shares knowledge to help buyers and sellers alike.
