James Ross

With decades of experience in the boating industry and a lifetime spent on the water, James Ross brings a knowledgeable, personal approach to buying and selling yachts. His experience spans a wide range of powerboats and cruising yachts, and sailboats, with particular expertise in premium cruising vessels and the unique needs of boaters throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay region.

James’ connection to boating began in his teenage years through cruising and fishing the Chesapeake Bay, its tributaries, and the Atlantic Ocean. That firsthand experience eventually led to a career in the marine industry, where he has developed an extensive understanding of yacht ownership, onboard systems, equipment, construction, and the many considerations that go into selecting the right vessel.

Over the years, James has worked with some of the most respected names in the marine industry, including experience with a highly regarded Sea Ray dealership and marina in the Mid-Atlantic area. His knowledge of Sea Rays, along with his understanding of their systems, equipment, construction, and production, has given him a strong foundation for representing both buyers and sellers.

As a yacht broker with Bluewater Yacht Sales, James combines that experience with the resources, marketing reach, and professional support of one of the industry’s leading yacht brokerage firms. Whether helping a first-time buyer identify the right boat or developing a strategy to successfully market an owner’s yacht, his approach is centered on listening carefully, understanding his clients’ goals, and providing straightforward, informed guidance throughout the process.

For James, yacht brokerage is about more than the transaction. It’s about helping clients find the right boat to enjoy their time on the water, explore new destinations, and create lasting experiences with family and friends.

Whether you’re considering buying your next yacht or thinking about selling your current boat, James is committed to providing the experience, knowledge, and personal attention needed to make the process as successful and enjoyable as possible.
