About Ward Yacht Sales

Ward Yacht Sales is a family-owned and operated, full-service yacht brokerage based in Florida, built on a foundation of authenticity, experience, and a true love for life on the water.

Founded by Ben and Amber Ward, our story began long before the business. With decades of hands-on boating and fishing experience aboard both power and sailing yachts, they raised their three daughters aboard a Passport 47 sailboat named "Koinonia," cruising over 10,000 nautical miles along the U.S. East Coast, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, and the Eastern Caribbean. This depth of real-world experience shapes every recommendation we make and allows us to serve clients at every level of boating experience.

With brokers located throughout Florida as well as Chicago and our charter partners in the USVI and BVI, we’re uniquely positioned to serve clients across a wide range of markets—offering both regional insight and personalized service. And our commitment doesn’t stop at the closing table. From helping you find the right captain or training, to connecting you with trusted service providers, we’re here to support you well beyond the sale.

At Ward Yacht Sales, we’re more than just brokers—we’re fellow boaters who live the lifestyle. We make yacht ownership dreams a reality!
