Pete has worked every closing table since 1973 — and still says he "can't wait to get to work in the morning." Five decades of market memory live in this office.
It was no coincidence that MarineMax's first acquisition after going public in 1998 was Pete's original firm. They wanted integrity and product knowledge. So do our clients.
We've never specialized in one kind of vessel. Sportfish, motor yacht, Southport center console, raised pilothouse — whatever meets your criteria, from 20 feet to 165.
A glimpse of the vessels that have moved through our hands — from a 75' Hatteras to a 122' Trinity. Live inventory turns weekly; call Pete or Ryan for the current list.

Pete Woods · President & Founding Broker · Yacht broker since 1973
Pete and partner Gary Oviatt started Woods & Oviatt in Cape Coral in January 1973 — "Baptism by Fire." They moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1981; Pete bought Gary out in 1985. MarineMax acquired the firm in 1998. In 2006 Pete launched Woods & Associates with his wife Anne and son Ryan, and said he had "been reincarnated."
Read the full story →We are Woods & Associates Yacht Brokerage and Realty. The same family that finds your boat can find the deep-water dockage, the New River estate, or the Intracoastal home to keep her behind. One relationship, both sides of the seawall.
Matt Woods joined the firm in 2009 after Florida Atlantic University and holds his insurance license — so we can place competitive marine coverage in-house. Survey, binder timing, and closing handled under one roof.
Market analysis, off-market intel, sea-trial coordination, independent survey, escrow, and closing. We'll tell you when the boat you love is the wrong boat.
Professional photography and walkthrough video, then synchronized listing across YachtWorld, YATCO, our own site, and a private buyer network we actually call.
US, EU, Caribbean & Middle Eastern buyers. Flag-state filings, multi-jurisdiction escrow, and WhatsApp coverage across time zones.
A long-standing Southport Boats relationship — slot allocation, options spec, and survey-on-delivery. Hatteras and Sea Ray product knowledge from the MarineMax years.
A phone call. No form-bot, no autoresponder. Pete and Ryan answer their own lines.
