Bob O'Brien

Yacht Broker

Born in Summit, New Jersey, Bob’s love of yachting began with racing duck boats as a child on Barnegat Bay. This, in turn, led him to racing One Design racing boats and sailboats competitively at college. He then graduated to larger sailboat racing, which included Luder Yawls and TP 52's. Bob then took a break from racing and the world of yachting to work on Wall Street until he opened his own Yacht Brokerage firm in 1983 in Delray Beach, Florida. In 1993, Bob’s company became a neighbour to CNI’s Palm Beach office, an event which actually caused him to move across the lobby and join CNI. Bob has been with CNI for four years, and has established himself as a valued and successful broker.
