about yacht brokerage

Wayne Lea, Cape Coral Yacht Broker


I have been a full-time, licensed yacht broker for over 25 years. My passion for boating began at the age of 19 while I was serving in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces in the Mediterranean. I had a life changing opportunity and crewed on a 60′ sailing yacht. I sailed the coast of Spain, crossed the Mediterranean Straits, and down the coast of North Africa to Tangier, Morocco and was hooked.

Years later my wife Lynn and I ended up in the Florida Keys, where I worked at Marathon Marina in a variety of positions, including restoring boats, building a few Ballyhoo Boats, and I ended up running the travel lift. My experience at Marathon Marina expanded my boating knowledge and sparked my interest in a career in the brokerage business.

Later, living on the west coast of Florida I moved into the brokerage business selling Tiara and Hatteras Yachts with The Allied Marine Group. I also spent a few years selling Sea Rays with Marine Max and progressed on to representing Bertram and Azimut Yachts with Allied Richard Bertram, then Ferretti Yachts for the Ferretti Allied Marine Group, until I found my home with United Yacht Sales. I reside in Southwest Florida with my lovely wife Lynn, and we have two children. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time fishing in the back country.

Life is short – Let me help you buy a boat!

“Clearly, individuals interested in purchasing a new vessel can search the many websites to find their dream. In doing so, in my opinion, they will have missed one of the greatest resources available to them in their quest for the perfect boat: Wayne Lea. His knowledge and commitment to the marine industry are substantial. We found his keen responsiveness and reliability paled in comparison only to his genuine sincerity. Dedicated to satisfying our boating needs, Wayne proved to be the difference between getting the exact boat we wanted at a fair price, and settling for the wrong boat at the wrong price.”


Rod M., Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

“I credit Wayne with the great experience I had with selling my 47′ Buddy Davis Sportfisher. Wayne worked relentlessly to market and sell the boat. He kept me apprised on a regular basis and the communication was second to none. Wayne not only worked hard to market the boat, but also maximized the amount I was able to obtain. I truly believe if it was not for Wayne, the boat would not have sold as quickly as it did, nor for the price he was able to negotiate. I hold the highest esteem for Wayne and would state to anyone that you will not find a yacht broker as professional in every manner as was Wayne Lea.”


Sam & Libby B., Cape Coral, FL

“Yesterday, my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting with you to view the 610 Sundancer that you have listed. You may recall we were accompanied by our friends … of Fort Myers. All four of us agreed that you are one of the most up front and knowledgeable Yacht Brokers that we have had the opportunity to be associated with. Your initial briefing in regard to the vessel we were about to view was very professional and most helpful. Thanks again, for your time and effort!”


Bob & Ruth W., North Hutchinson Island, FL
