Ahoy Club US
Yacht Sales with Owner Insight, Global Reach & Personalized Service
Backed by decades of hands-on experience as yacht owners and entrepreneurs, we understand the opportunities and complexities of the yachting world-because we've lived it.
A Bold, Informed & Personalized Approach
At Ahoy Club US, we bring a bold, informed, and highly personalized approach to yacht sales, new yacht builds, and refit advisory.
Led by CEO Ellie Malouf and Managing Director Ian Malouf, both long-time yacht owners with extensive global cruising and ownership experience, Ahoy Club US was built to offer something different: a smarter, more agile, and owner-centric alternative to traditional yacht brokerages.
Our goal is simple-to help clients buy, build, or refit a yacht with confidence, clarity, and care.
Our Expertise
Comprehensive yacht services designed by owners, for owners. From purchase to refit, we handle every aspect with unparalleled expertise.
A Personal Approach to Yacht Sales
Buying or selling a yacht is more than a transaction-it's a milestone. Whether you're entering yachting for the first time or you're an experienced owner seeking your next vessel, we offer full-service support with a clear understanding of your needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
We represent both buyers and sellers across a range of premium brokerage yachts in the US, Caribbean, and globally, offering access to exclusive listings and off-market opportunities.
Experts in New Yacht Builds
Building a yacht is the ultimate expression of personal style, ambition, and adventure. At Ahoy Club US, we guide clients through every stage of the build process-from selecting the right shipyard and negotiating contracts to final design decisions and technical oversight.
We work alongside the world's most respected shipbuilders, naval architects, and interior designers to bring your vision to life, ensuring the result is as distinctive and functional as it is beautiful.
Refit with Precision & Purpose
Whether you're refreshing a classic yacht, extending its usability, or making it truly yours, refitting a vessel requires a steady hand, creative thinking, and deep technical knowledge. Our refit advisors provide comprehensive project management, working closely with trusted shipyards and designers.
From layout changes to propulsion upgrades, styling updates or full-scale transformations, we help you maximize the potential of your existing or newly acquired yacht.
