Seven Seas Yacht Sales

What Seven Seas Yacht Sales does

Seven Seas Yacht Sales is a family-owned, single-location boat dealership founded in 1991 and headquartered at 1490-1500 W. Broward Blvd in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on the North Fork of the New River. The company sells new and pre-owned boats from six represented brands — Scout, Chris-Craft, Monterey, Carbon Cat (Aspen), Caymas, and Aspen — with new models ranging from approximately $58,944 (Scout 195 Sportfish) to over $1,406,876 (Scout 425 LXF) and pre-owned inventory from roughly $19,000 (2007 Sea Boss 255 WA) to $629,000 (2020 Scout 420 LXF). Beyond retail sales, the business operates a Factory Authorized service center for Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, and Suzuki outboards, an in-house parts department, a brokerage and trade-in program, and customer financing facilitated through partner financial institutions with monthly payment calculator tools displayed on listings.

The underlying technology footprint is intentionally narrow and is described in source materials as a website-based inventory management system and payment calculator, with the site powered by the MDS (Marine Dealer Solutions) dealer platform. The company does not develop proprietary software, has no mobile app, no API surface, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer through the Fort Lauderdale physical showroom; the firm does not use third-party dealers, online marketplaces, or distributors, and does not operate outside the state of Florida.

Revenue is generated across four streams: new boat sales (one-time transactions with trade-in optionality), pre-owned and brokerage sales (one-time transactions with margins on trade-in spreads), service and repairs (professional services on outboards and marine systems), and parts sales. Marketing is primarily direct, with a website storefront at the top of the funnel, newsletter/email capture in the mid-funnel, and phone-based sales and service scheduling at the bottom of the funnel; manufacturer co-marketing through Scout, Chris-Craft, Monterey, and Carbon Cat brand partnerships supplements direct outreach. Customer segments are individual recreational boaters and fishing enthusiasts, with no enterprise or commercial marine accounts disclosed.
