Jason Nasiatka New Build Director
Jason Nasiatka lives in the beautiful downtown area of Fort Lauderdale. He grew up in South Carolina and was educated at Clemson University with a background in engineering & manufacturing. Blue water fishing & boating had always been a passion so relocating to south Florida in 2003 was an easy decision. Shortly after becoming a FL resident, Jason realized he could take his love for the water and apply it to a career in the yachting industry. He has been involved in many semi-custom new construction projects and has developed a unique talent to listen to a client’s needs and provide a real solution. His pursuit of knowledge & experience has become a lifelong commitment that will allow Jason to adapt in an evolving marine industry. Jason most appreciates the excitement & owner vision generated from new construction sales & project development. He can be reached on his cell phone at 954-805-7555 or Jason@lucidmarine.com.

Brant Rose Broker
Brant Rose began his love affair with boating in the 3rd grade, with a 12’ open fishing boat with a 2.5 horsepower kicker, piloting it on the Dead River in Central Florida. As a young father of three boys, boating was the recreation of choice. Over the years the size of the family boat steadily increased. The biggest jump came in 2000 when they jumped from a 24 foot boat to a 47 foot yacht. Brant was approaching retirement after 30 years as a detective with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and the children were grown. He and his wife wanted to experience long-range cruising in the Bahamas. They made several month long trips to the Bahamas, learning a lot about what features are critical to comfortable long-term cruising. While the 47 foot boat was perfect for them and one other couple, it wasn’t large enough to accommodate the whole family. They decided to jump up to a larger yacht.
In 2003, after looking at yachts for almost a year, they saw a 2001 62 foot Symbol Pilothouse Motor Yacht and fell in love with it. Since buying their Symbol yacht, which they named Lady Lynn, they have spent the last five summers cruising the Bahamas during June and July. Their favorite anchorages are in the Exumas, where they love to anchor out for a month at a time. Brant’s hands-on experience with all of the yacht’s systems has enabled him to trouble-shoot any problem that came up. He also has regularly provided help to other boaters.
Brant was so impressed with his Symbol yacht, that he decided to become a broker for them. He loves sharing what he has learned from his cruising and maintenance experience with others who want to live their dream of yachting. Brant and his son, Michael, operate as a sales team, with each bring special technical skills which enable them to provide valuable advice and suggestions to prospective customers that many other yacht salesmen cannot. Brant can be reached on his cell phone at 407-342-9652 or Brant@lucidmarine.com. |
