Yacht Master Inc

What Yacht Master Inc does

Yacht Master Inc is a privately held Canadian yacht brokerage founded in 2017 by Justin M. Alexander, headquartered in Toronto at 100 King St. West, Suite 5700. The firm facilitates the buying and selling of recreational boats and multi-million-dollar superyachts for individual buyers and sellers on a commission-based revenue model. Its service platform spans transaction representation, escrow coordination, maritime legal support, international tax structuring, foreign flag registration consulting, import/export guidance, financing facilitation, insurance placement, and transportation logistics.

The firm operates a distributed agent network spanning Canada (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia), the United States (Florida), Thailand (Phuket), the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Spain (Barcelona), and Mexico, and markets its approximately 93 active listings across multiple third-party platforms including YachtWorld, Boats.com, Yatco, YachtAll, and TheYachtMarket. The combined reach of the largest two platforms (YachtWorld and Boats.com) is cited at 20 million monthly visitors, which the firm uses as a primary distribution channel.

The brokerage differentiates through non-exclusive central listing agreements (versus the industry-standard exclusive listing), cryptocurrency acceptance for transactions, and a bundled ancillary-services stack supported by partnerships with BoatFi.com for international financing and Lloyds of Canada for insurance. It holds Certified Boating Ontario Dealer status in its primary domestic market. The team disclosed publicly is small — on the order of four to five named brokers — consistent with a boutique international brokerage rather than a scaled platform operation.
