Blake Latta
Yacht Broker
Growing up in the maritime city of Portsmouth, UK, I was introduced to sailing at just 4 years old. From dinghies to yachts, and later expanding into powerboating, my passion for the water was clear from an early age. By the age of 16, I became a certified sailing instructor, and soon after, I broadened my expertise to include motor yachts and powerboating.
At 18, I took the opportunity to move to Thailand and establish a sailing school, where I spent the next three years honing my skills not only as an instructor but also in yacht charters, yacht deliveries, and powerboat handling. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of vessels, from sleek motor yachts to powerful sports boats, giving me hands-on experience in both sailing and powerboating.
My comprehensive knowledge of motor yachts and powerboats allows me to guide clients who are looking for high-performance vessels, as well as those interested in sailing yachts. With a strong background in both industries, I offer a unique perspective to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions tailored to their preferences.
As I transition into the world of yacht brokerage, I’m excited to leverage my expertise in both sailing and powerboating to help clients navigate the yacht market. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or new to the world of yachts, my goal is to ensure that your purchase or sale process is smooth, seamless, and catered to your individual needs.
