Shane Wray

Sales Professional

When buying or selling a yacht, experience matters. Clients want more than someone who can simply list a vessel or arrange a showing. They want an advisor who understands yachts from the engine room to the bridge, someone who has spent decades operating, evaluating, and maintaining vessels on the water. That’s exactly what Shane Wray brings to every transaction.

With more than 25 years in the marine industry, Shane has built a career around professionalism, technical expertise, and an unwavering passion for boating. Originally drawn to South Florida by the yachting lifestyle, he worked his way through the industry, earning positions as captain and engineer aboard yachts ranging from 62 to 123 feet. His experience includes cruising throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean, giving him a unique understanding of vessel performance, ownership, and long-range cruising.

Shane’s career has taken him from managing luxury yachts and overseeing complex vessel operations to conducting detailed marine surveys and evaluations for buyers, sellers, insurers, and lenders. Since 2016, he has worked directly with yacht owners, brokers, captains, and shipyards, completing extensive pre-purchase inspections, condition and valuation surveys, and damage assessments. This background allows him to identify the strengths and potential concerns of a vessel long before they become costly surprises for his clients.

As a NAMS Certified Marine Surveyor, SAMS Surveyor Associate, ABYC Standards Advisor, and former USCG Master Captain, Shane offers a level of technical knowledge rarely found in yacht sales. His expertise spans propulsion systems, vessel construction, onboard systems, maintenance planning, and operational readiness, providing buyers and sellers with confidence throughout the transaction process.

Whether helping a first-time buyer find the perfect yacht or guiding an experienced owner through a successful sale, Shane is committed to delivering honest advice, exceptional service, and a seamless experience from initial consultation to closing. His goal is simple: to help clients make informed decisions and fully enjoy the yacht ownership lifestyle.
