A Broker with a Global Perspective
In today’s yacht market, success depends on more than knowing boats — it requires international insight, hands-on experience, and a network that spans oceans. That’s where Matthew Stropes, seasoned yacht broker and captain at Panacea Yacht Group, stands apart. With over 15 years in the yachting and boating industry, Matthew splits his time between Mexico, Florida, and Europe, offering clients unmatched access to global opportunities. Specializing in international yacht sales, he focuses on importing the world’s most prestigious European brands — including Azimut, Benetti, Ferretti, Mangusta, Leopard, and Sunseeker — into the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean. Through his extensive connections, he often secures highly sought-after yachts before they ever hit the open market, giving his clients a distinct competitive edge.
Navigating a Global Marketplace
For Matthew, success is built on relationships, trust, and a deep understanding of the international yachting landscape. Whether helping a buyer bring an Italian masterpiece stateside or assisting a seller reach audiences abroad, he bridges markets with precision and professionalism. His expertise in import logistics, negotiations, and brand nuances allows clients to make informed decisions and maximize value. From first-time owners to seasoned collectors, Matthew tailors every experience to the client’s vision — ensuring each yacht aligns with their lifestyle, expectations, and future plans.
Living the Lifestyle He Represents
A passionate waterman at heart, Matthew’s connection to the sea runs deep. From childhood days spent on the water to his life as an avid offshore fisherman, diver, surfer, and spearfisherman, he has always embraced the boating lifestyle he now helps others achieve. This hands-on experience allows him to speak authentically about yacht ownership — the freedom, the craftsmanship, and the adventure it represents. Fluent in English and Spanish, Matthew works seamlessly with clients across borders, combining practical expertise, cultural understanding, and a strong work ethic to deliver a truly personalized service.
