Aspire Yacht Sales was founded in 2020 by John Booysen, a highly respected and seasoned yacht broker with 24 years of experience in the yacht brokering industry. John witnessed the evolution of yachting from a niche pastime to the global, luxurious lifestyle it represents today. Recognizing the demand for a fresh, customer-centric approach, he established Aspire Yacht Sales to redefine the yacht buying and selling experience.
John Booysen’s mission at Aspire Yacht Sales is clear: to provide unparalleled customer service before, during, and after the sale. John is focused on the customer experience, ensuring that every client’s needs are fully satisfied. He remains available after the sale for continued support, leveraging his extensive captain experience. His commitment to integrity, honesty, and responsibility forms the foundation of every decision made at Aspire. These values drive the company to be your trusted source for all things yachting, ensuring a comprehensive and fulfilling experience.
Since 2001, John has facilitated over 210 yacht transactions, amassing more than $100 million in total sales. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade to your dream yacht, Aspire Yacht Sales leverages decades of experience and industry knowledge to guide you seamlessly through the buying or selling process. Our extensive network of preferred vendors and in-depth understanding of yacht operations ensure that your journey from purchase to ownership is smooth and enjoyable.
John’s passion for yachting began on a 60ft Catamaran voyage from Cape Town, South Africa, to the Bahamas. This experience sparked a lifelong love for the ocean, leading him to travel the world as both a yacht captain and broker. Today, his goal is to share this passion with others, helping clients discover the unique and enriching lifestyle that only yachting can offer.
At Aspire Yacht Sales, we understand that yachting provides an unparalleled experience of being at sea. John Booysen and the Aspire team are dedicated to helping you fall in love with yachting and ensuring that every moment spent aboard your yacht is filled with unforgettable experiences.
