Rockport Marine Acquires David Jones Yacht Brokerage

Custom wooden boat builder and designer Rockport Marine of Rockport, Maine, has acquired David Jones Yacht Brokerage, effectively expanding Rockport Marine's offering beyond the design, construction and refit of wooden yachts to the sales of new and used vessels.

 

David Jones Yacht Brokerage has facilitated the sales of classic wooden yachts for 16 years. The company has represented boats by designers such as Alden, Crocker, Fife, Herreshoff, Hinckley, Rhodes, and Stephens and Waring. David Jones, former owner, will continue working with Rockport Marine for at least one year during the transition of the brokerage ownership. Jones will work closely with broker Evelyn Smith, who will manage the brokerage.

 

“Joining forces with David Jones is a natural fit. For a long time we've really appreciated the way he does business,” said Sam Temple of Rockport Marine. “We're certain the addition of a successful brokerage office at Rockport Marine adds value for our customers.”

 

David Jones Yacht Brokerage at Rockport Marine will continue to provide yacht sales and marketing services.
