As a native and lifelong resident of the Alabama Gulf Coast, Matt Parson possesses an inherent connection to the local waterways that defines his professional career. His deep-rooted passion for boating and fishing transitioned into a dedicated vocation following four years of distinguished service in the U.S. Coast Guard. This military background instilled in him a rigorous standard of professionalism and safety that he has applied to his full-time career in boat and yacht sales since 2006. By combining his tactical maritime training with nearly two decades of brokerage experience, Matt provides his clients with a level of local expertise and industry insight that is rare in the marketplace.
Beyond his sales acumen, Matt is a licensed 100-ton Master Captain and an active boat owner, allowing him to relate to his clients on a practical, peer-to-peer level. He understands the nuances of vessel maintenance, navigation, and the true cost of ownership, which enables him to convey complex information with clarity and honesty. This dual perspective as both a captain and a broker ensures that he doesn’t just facilitate a transaction; he helps his clients achieve their long-term goals for a life spent on the water.
