KEITH ABEL
SALES MANAGER

Keith Abel was born and raised in Greenwich, CT and Newport, RI where his love for the water and boating started at a very young age. Raised by a Nuclear Submarine Captain for the United States Navy, Keith developed a passion for the boating lifestyle. He was brought up on boats ever since he was a child and competed in sailing throughout New England. His achievements and awards on the water and on the football and lacrosse fields have made him a real competitor at everything he involves himself in.

After working in the financial world for seven years out of college for large companies and hedge funds on Wall Street and in Greenwich, CT, Keith quickly learned that his true passion was boats, water, customer service and people.

He soon found himself in the boating industry and excelled quickly, developing wonderful relationships. With his positive attitude, boating knowledge and experience, his goal is to make his customers satisfied by helping them to find their next perfect boat. He believes a foundation based in Customer Service and Integrity will result in his clients repeating and referring the request of his assistance.

After spending several years selling boats and yachts in Fairfield County and throughout New England, Keith relocated to Florida, and quickly became a fixture in the South Florida boating market, working for a high end yacht company. However, his love for New England brought him back where he continues to help and guide people through their next yachting adventure.

Keith has a love of the boating lifestyle and has been helping boaters over 22 years with all of their boating needs. He’s friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Whether you are buying, selling, or just seeking advice contact Keith Abel, he is always happy to help.
