Mike Sharpe

With numerous long passages in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and with his trans-ocean experience ranging between 50' and 140' in ocean-racing, cruising and mega-yachts, Mike's hands-on offshore experience has always been beneficial to his clients' search for the 'right yacht'. Having run yachts throughout the Med, Caribbean and U.S., he is also an experienced source of information to his associates.

During 30 plus years in the industry he has been involved in new builds, project management, re-fits and brokerage. Presently Mike has listings ranging from conventional motor yachts to new construction of large sailing and motor yacht. He is currently working on proposals for 50m mega-yachts, both power and sail. He has sold both power and sailing yachts during his years with Ardell and is 2004's 'National Broker of the Year'. Mike's vast range of experience with all aspects of the industry, from recreational private vessel usage to charter and commercial interests, will benefit Ardell clients searching for the 'right boat', or just researching information in line with their future plans.

Mike began sailing professionally in 1973, after a successful racing career in dinghies and offshore yachts, and has continued success racing single handed dinghies in Fort Lauderdale's very competitive racing fleet.

His international association with various yards and designers is useful when discussing new construction or brokerage vessels. Whether considering a 'new-build project', for power or sail, or starting a search for your next vessel, what-ever size, please call Mike if you would like to talk to an experienced yachtsman/broker.

“I can be contacted directly at ARDELL, or on my GSM mobile or e-mail. I look forward to assisting you in all yachting matters, and hope to provide interesting and informed answers to your questions”.

Mike.
