Ed Massey

“We cannot say enough good things about Ed Massey, Massey Yachts, and the entire Massey Yachts team. Fifteen years ago, we purchased our beloved 39’ Jeanneau monohull through Massey Yachts, and the experience left such a lasting impression that when it was time to find our next boat, Ed was the first person we called. Fifteen years later, Ed helped us find the right boat at the right price, guiding us through the major transition from a monohull to a performance cruising catamaran with the comfort, space, and creature comforts we wanted. His knowledge of sailboats, catamarans, yacht sales, marine systems, and the boating lifestyle is exceptional. What truly sets Ed Massey Yachts apart is the combination of deep expertise, high integrity, no-pressure guidance, and full-service support. Ed is not just a yacht broker; he is a trusted advisor and an incredible resource for anything related to boats. Whether you need a boatyard, marine mechanic, electronics technician, rigger, detailer, delivery captain, surveyor, or service provider, Ed knows the right people — not just locally, but wherever your boat happens to be. Massey Yachts delivers the kind of personal, knowledgeable, and honest service that is rare to find. Ed and his team made us feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way. They are our go-to experts for all things yachts, and we would recommend Ed Massey and Massey Yachts without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a sailboat, catamaran, cruising yacht, or performance cruiser. If you are looking for a trusted yacht broker in Florida, a knowledgeable team with decades of experience, and a company that truly puts the client first, Massey Yachts is the place to call.”

“Our family bought a Catalina 425 from Ed Massey and Massey Yacht Sales in January of 2026. This is my third sailboat and fourth boat overall. My experience with Ed was fantastic. He was very thorough, helpful and honest. We had a number of little projects that we wanted to get accomplished on the boat before we sailed off into the proverbial sunset and his extensive network of contractors in the Tampa area got these things done for us quickly and with minimal complications. I would recommend Ed and the Massey company to anyone in the market for a yacht.”

“My wife and I recently had the privilege of purchasing a 50’ Marlow Hunter, an incredibly beautiful sailboat, from Massey Enterprises. Our experience with Massey from the keel to the crow’s nest was nothing short of outstanding. As a sailing family we’ve acquired boats in the past. 25 years ago, while seeking out one of our boats, we happened to inquire with Massey. To our surprise , during the current purchase, he brought us back in time, as he and his staff kept stellar notes from that previous conversation. Our words kept in what felt like a time capsule , we reminisced about the past, and revisited old memories, while amazed by the importance Massey dedicates to all of his clients and their story whether they purchase with him or not. Massey Enterprises is rooted in professionalism, efficiency and excellent communication. The facilitation of this purchase from seller to buyer, surveyor to ferry crew was a well-organized journey filled with exceptional planning, resources, consistency and thoughtful choreographed execution. We could not be happier with our experience with Ed Massey, and Massey Enterprises; he did it all to make it happen ! We anticipate that you too will be satisfied with your purchases as you embark on your next great adventure. May you have red skies at night with fair winds and following seas , Enjoy!”

“Ed Massey made the purchase of our Bali 4.3 a trouble-free enjoyable experience. Not only was this the first boat purchase for us, but we had to do everything remotely from California. The only time we came to Florida was for the actual survey. It was quite a leap of faith. We would have never done it without having a full confidence in Ed. He inspired this confidence immediately with his intimate knowledge of the local market, yacht services, the purchasing and registration process, and the boat itself; and also his warm and easy personality. Throughout the process Ed was responsive and available, and very effective. He worked hard coordinating, finding solutions, and moving things along. We were amazed how much attention and time he put into making this deal a success. We wholeheartedly recommend Ed Massey and his team. – Jack and Pia Kanholm”

“Wanted to take time to say thank you so much for helping our dreams of owning a sailboat come true today! Your help right from the beginning was instrumental in our success and we cannot express our thanks enough. We are looking forward to coming down this fall and finally starting this new chapter of our lives. Thanks again! – Jesse & Elizabeth”

“We wanted to express my satisfaction and gratitude to Ed Massey and his team at Massey Yacht Sales after one year of ownership of our 2023 Catalina 355 “Galaxy Quest”. We purchased our yacht with Massey’s exclusive Buy Florida plan. Ed took excellent care of our boat for the first 6 months. He oversaw the entire custom outfitting of our sailboat. He provided an excellent week long new owner orientation including 5 days of training with Captain Rick. His yacht care included keeping the boat in tip top condition. Each time we arrived to go sailing our boat was prepared including outside and inside cleaning, bottom hull cleaning and prep to cabin with refrigeration on and cabin air conditioning on. As with any new yacht we had some break in gremlins which Ed and his team addressed in a timely manner. The positive experience we have enjoyed with Ed Massey surpassed all our expectations. We would not hesitate to purchase with Massey Yacht Sales in the future. – Kevin and Sabra Fisher”

“We highly recommend Massey Yacht Sales. Ed and all of his staff were wonderful people to work with. We were fortunate enough to purchase our first new boat from Ed Massey. Ed and his staff were excellent in keeping us informed and timely in giving us paperwork. Ed has a unique ability to make sure even the smallest of details was addressed professionally and quickly. If we needed something fixed, Ed did this promptly and then would personally verify the work was done correctly. Furthermore, Ed made sure we had an excellent new boat orientation with experienced people. We feel comfortable and safe with our new boat. If you are selling a boat, know that Ed and his staff are watching your boat closely when it is located at the Massey Yacht Sales marina slip. We would see him both morning and night checking on all the boats. Every day Ed and his staff made sure the boats were clean, well secured, and “show ready”. As a personal note, Ed has integrity, sincerity, warmth and a dash of a good sense of humor. Ed was able to put us at ease as we navigated through our first new boat experience. Lastly, he has infinite patience when answering all of our questions; some of the questions required working with the manufacture. As an older couple who have several years of boating experience, we highly recommend Ed Massey, and all of the staff at Massey Yacht Sales. – Tom Waier & Patty Manhire”

“January 2023 Update – “Hi Ed! Linda and I just want to thank you for the excellent commissioning from you and your team on our new Catalina 445. We’ve been living aboard for almost two years now and have really enjoyed the Catalina, touring the Florida Keys, the Bahamas and the east coast of Florida and the Carolinas. She sails and motors very well, very solid. We are currently anchored in Lake Worth and headed back to the Bahamas. Wherever we go, we always get complements on the boat. We appreciate all your good guidance through the outfitting and customizing process. Thank you.” – Joe & Linda Kujawski July 2023 Update – “Hey Ed.
