I'm Don Maki, a Licensed Yacht Broker living in Cape Coral, FL. My wife Linda and I moved from Chicago in 2003 to continue our careers and enjoy the extended recreational boating available in the Sunshine State.

As a full-time broker, I can offer the total package of services needed to market, present, negotiate, sell, and deliver your boat to a qualified buyer. If you are in the market to purchase a vessel, I can provide you with resources and comprehensive data to make the selection and decision process less time-consuming, more enjoyable, and save you money.

Before moving to Florida, I was self-employed for fourteen years as the Principal of Contract Marine Group, an independent manufacturer's representative. I sold equipment and marine systems to quality builders such as Burger Yachts, Carver, Cruiser's, Four Winns, Palmer Johnson, Thunderbird/Formula, and Tiara. My experience working with major builders is the basis for understanding the differences in design, engineering, and construction among the boat builders. My hope is that you will benefit from my experience.

It is my priviledge to be associated with the knowledgeable staff of brokers at Paradigm Yacht Sales. I look forward to the opportunity to be of service to you. Please contact me at our Cape Harbour office at (239)541-2004, my cell at (239)410-2281, or E-mail me at don@paradigmyachts.com.
