At JBYS, we believe yachting is more than a purchase—it’s a lifestyle. That’s why we’ve carefully curated a team that not only shares our passion for the water but also brings the expertise and local knowledge our clients deserve. Our Naples location is thriving, and we’re thrilled to introduce three exceptional team members who bring a wealth of expertise, passion, and dedication to our clients in Florida and beyond.
Growing Presence in Florida
With our expanding team in Naples, we’re thrilled to better serve clients in one of the nation’s most vibrant boating markets. Whether you’re buying, selling, or seeking expert advice, our team is here to help make your yachting dreams a reality. Stop by our Naples office or contact Ed, Brad, or Johnny today to see why JBYS continues to set the standard in luxury yachting!
With a lifelong connection to the water, Ed’s yachting journey began aboard his parents’ 72-foot yacht in the Mediterranean. His passion led him to study Naval Architecture, crew impressive vessels, and fish around the globe. Since relocating to Southwest Florida in 2021, Ed has embraced the boating lifestyle, blending his expertise with his love for adventure.
Whether he’s racing his Audi S3 IMSA car, fly-fishing in the Florida Keys, or guiding clients toward their dream yachts, Ed’s commitment to excellence is unmatched. His extensive sales experience and genuine enthusiasm make him a trusted advisor for all your boating needs.
Growing up in St. Clair Shores, Brad was immersed in the maritime world from an early age, developing a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and adventure of boating. With a diverse background in technology, mechanics, and sales, he brings a well-rounded perspective to our Naples Sales team.
Now a proud Florida resident, Brad’s passion for the water fuels his dedication to connecting clients with the perfect vessel. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or new to the lifestyle, Brad’s approachable style and expertise ensure you’ll feel confident every step of the way.
With over 22 years in investment sales and a strong background in business and finance, Johnny’s transition to the yachting world was driven by his passion for the water. Originally from Pennsylvania, Johnny relocated to Naples over five years ago, where he now channels his expertise to help clients acquire their dream yachts.
A Penn State York alumnus and avid fisherman, Johnny’s unique blend of financial acumen and enthusiasm for boating sets him apart. His professionalism and client-first approach make him an invaluable asset to the JBYS Naples Sales team.
