My Present
I'm Mike Hickey, Northrop & Johnson Yacht Broker. I'm passionate about leveraging my first-hand cruising experience and professional background in yacht service and management to assist my clients in finding the right yacht to maximize their family's enjoyment on the water. I believe honesty and integrity are the best ways to ensure my clients understand the boat they are buying and how it will fit into their goals.
My Past
Growing up fishing on Jon boats in the central Florida rivers, I moved to California as a teenager to pursue professional skimboarding and surfing. At 18, I was recruited to help the refit of a local legendary sportfisher. This was the start of my yacht industry career which would lead him to cruising the west coast to Alaska to Cabo San Lucas, running my own yacht management company, earning my broker license and selling yachts.
I was then recruited by industry industry-leading yacht manufacturer to facilitate factory direct sales of new boats and provide ongoing customer service. I love the process of specifying a new build to tailor fit their family and lifestyle. I am also proud to have participated in an overhaul of their customer service and warranty program.
My Future
I'm thrilled to be continuing my yachting career with Northrop & Johnson and using my knowledge to amplify the experience of our customers.
My Outside-Office Life
As an avid waterman, in my free time I enjoy freshwater fishing, taking my son to the beach, and tinkering on my Miami-built, 1979 Forest Johnson Prowler Sportfisher. I'm passionate about sharing my enjoyment of being on the water with new boat owners or those looking for a new vessel.
