Integrity • Dedication •
Satisfied Customers • No Exceptions

Our entire business is based on dedication to our customers. Our thinking is not short-term, but building long-term relationships and understanding the unique needs of our clients. We act in our clients’ best interests with integrity and transparency in every situation; No exceptions.

North Pacific Yachts: We design, build, and sell North Pacific Yachts. Being a builder and a brokerage allows us to bring a unique prospective to the boat buying and selling process. We understand the complexities and functions of cruising yachts. Whether you’re a first time boat buyer or a seasoned mariner, we can help you find the perfect boat to suit your needs. From the minute we step aboard a vessel, we are looking at not only the overall feel of the boat, but the fine details, construction, equipment, and quality of a boat. Our clients find our expertise to be a great asset throughout the process.

Trevor Brice – Surrey, BC

I’m told that I started boating when I was 6 weeks old, and I’ve been passionate about it since I can remember. We spent most summers on our boat cruising the BC coast and I formed some of my best memories here. Now that I have my own kids, it’s important to me that I give them the same experience. Having this experience is why we started North Pacific Yachts in 2003 and more recently, North Pacific Yacht Brokers. Helping others have enjoyable boating experiences and creating lasting memories is our mission. I view our reputation as our most valuable asset and our promise is total satisfaction with our services. Our goal is to create lasting relationships with our clients and friends.

Evan Adams – Everett, WA

Evan’s passion for the maritime industry started at a young age, and his obsession for all things boats continues to grow. Evan’s boating experience ranges from small runabouts to inland lake houseboats to cruising yachts. “I am drawn to the ocean by the endless adventure and experiences that it has to offer. I join the countless people who agree that a boat is the ultimate way to explore the Blue Planet and connect with family and friends. The new and interesting people that I meet in this line of work make it that much more exciting. Helping families buy and sell boats and watch their own adventures unfold is the most rewarding part of the process.” Evan started his professional career as an accountant, and his close attention to every detail is valued in a business where accuracy and communication is critical to a smooth process.
