By Derrick Hill

Catamaran Brokerage Specialist Based in Palm Beach FL - Licensed & Bonded Florida Yacht Broker Derrick’s love for the water started at the early age of 12, when he tried scuba diving for the first time with his family. By 18, he was a PADI divemaster, and he worked for “The Best Little Dive Shop in Texas” during college. After a few years in sales during the internet boom, Derrick dropped everything to move to Fort Lauderdale to focus on dive instruction, earning a PADI Master Scuba Diver Instructor rating along with a Resort Operations certification. He went to work as a full-time dive instructor / boat captain on Grand Turk and then moved to St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, where he started his own dive operation, “N2 The Blue," and grew the business over the next 12 years. During this time, Derrick began sailing on various monohulls and catamarans. Once he sold his business and moved back to Florida, being a yacht broker was a natural fit. Derrick spent the last five years as a catamaran broker, and he has now found his permanent home here with Catamaran Brokerage. He continues to carry an active US Coast Guard 100-ton master license.
