Vernell and Sons Group

Yacht brokerage isn’t a service you stumble upon every day. Vernell and Sons Group specializes in exactly that, offering a niche that blends maritime expertise with the precision of high-end sales. The Financial District may be synonymous with skyscrapers and stock exchanges, but here, the conversation shifts to hull designs, navigational systems, and the quiet luxury of open water.

Their office sits in the penthouse suite at 55 Water St, a building that overlooks the East River and the Brooklyn waterfront. That vantage point makes sense for a business where the horizon is part of the product. The address places them steps from the South Street Seaport, a neighborhood where the city’s maritime history lingers in cobblestone streets and restored clipper ships.

They handle everything from initial consultations to final sea trials, including vessel valuation, marketing, and private showings. Clients often arrive with specific needs—whether it’s a weekender for coastal cruising or a bluewater yacht built for transatlantic crossings. When questions arise, the team can be reached at (332) 296-0988 to walk through options or schedule viewings.

For anyone curious about the logistics, a map is available to confirm the exact location before heading over. It’s the kind of place where the paperwork feels as important as the vessel itself.
