Inlet Properties & Investments

What Inlet Properties & Investments does

INLET Properties & Investments is a privately held boutique brokerage headquartered at 1040 Clemons Street in Jupiter, Florida, that operates through two specialized divisions: INLET Props, representing buyers and sellers of luxury waterfront estates, oceanfront residences, oceanfront condos, townhomes, rentals, and select commercial holdings across South Florida's Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches (from Jupiter Island through Palm Beach); and INLET Yachts, which handles motor yachts, sport fishers, long-range cruisers, and new-build commissioning for vessels typically 60 to 130 feet. The firm employs 1–10 people under a deliberate "fewer listings, longer relationships" philosophy, is founder-led by Broker/Owner Jeremy Howard (commercial insurance and construction background), and runs its yacht desk under Rick Ankiel, a former 16-year MLB player who leads a small team of yacht brokers. Underlying technology is non-proprietary: a Spark Platform-powered property listing website, third-party photography CDNs (cdn.photos.sparkplatform.com, images.boatsgroup.com), and standard contact-inquiry management — there are no patents, trademarks, AI capabilities, APIs, or SDKs disclosed.
