After more than a decade in yacht sales, Ryan Gessel launched Panacea Yacht Group to focus on delivering world-class service for the 50 to 120-foot vessel market. He is known for his relentless pursuit of the deal, with a reputation for closing difficult sales and a passion for finding creative solutions to even the most challenging transactions.
Gessel began his yacht brokerage career at Global One Yacht Sales in Belmar, New Jersey, followed by six years with Off The Hook Yacht Sales. There, he reached the top of his dealer team, gained experience in every facet of the business, and built a large network across Greater New York City. Over the years, he developed expertise in a broad range of vessel types, from center consoles and express cruisers to luxury motoryachts.
In 2024, Gessel leveraged his considerable experience and extensive national network to launch Panacea Yacht Group. With brokerage licenses in both New Jersey and Florida, Panacea serves clients up and down the East Coast, offering complete support for clients who wish to buy, sell or charter the very best pre-owned motoryachts.
