A Life Built Around the Water
Dylan’s connection to sailing started early, growing up near the Chesapeake Bay on a mix of powerboats and Hobie Cats. What began as weekends on the water became a lifelong pursuit — one that eventually took him to South Africa, where he earned his RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification sailing around the Cape of Good Hope, the home waters of Robertson & Caine and the birthplace of every Leopard Catamaran.
From there, Dylan and his wife moved to the Caribbean, where he worked as a charter captain running day trips and extended passages. That experience gave him a practical understanding of how catamarans live in real cruising conditions — something he now brings directly to clients evaluating pre-owned Leopards.
His appreciation for Leopard Catamarans dates back to the first time he stepped aboard one in a marina in Deltaville, Virginia. That connection has only deepened since joining Leopard Brokerage, where he now focuses on helping buyers and sellers make well-informed decisions with confidence.
Leopard-Specific Knowledge That Makes a Difference
Dylan works exclusively within the Leopard Catamaran ecosystem, helping clients evaluate pre-owned sail and power cats across a range of models and years. His background as a sailor and charter captain means he can speak practically to how different Leopard models perform on passages, in marinas, and during extended liveaboard use — not just what the brochure says.
As part of Leopard Brokerage, Dylan also has access to Robertson & Caine factory support, technical history, and warranty resources that are unavailable through general yacht brokers — giving buyers added confidence in their purchase and sellers a credible platform for their listing.
He has also authored several articles on the Leopard Brokerage blog covering model comparisons, market timing, and what buyers should consider before making a purchase decision — reflecting a genuine passion for helping clients think clearly about their options.

Based in Fort Lauderdale and operating out of Leopard Brokerage’s Florida headquarters in Dania Beach, Dylan works with buyers and sellers across South Florida, the Caribbean, and the U.S. East Coast.

Dylan also works closely with the broader Leopard Brokerage network of global brokers and regional managers, giving his clients access to listings, buyers, and support across Leopard’s 20+ worldwide hubs when local knowledge or regional connections are needed.
