People who know and have proven “the difference integrity makes”

 Vicki Rasmussen, CPYB
President
e-mail: vicki@integrityyachtsales.com
After serving 25 years as an executive in the Food Brokerage Business, Vicki and her husband decided it was time to drop out and go sailing. For two years they cruised the East Coast US and the Bahamas, spending an entire summer just exploring the Chesapeake Bay home waters. Coming back she went to work as a yacht broker for a local brokerage firm and discovered a great way to use her boating skills and knowledge - and get to work with people as well. After several years working as a broker, she opened her own firm and summed up the company's mission statement in its name, Integrity Yacht Sales. She purchased the brokerage firm that she was working for and merged it into her company. Seeing the value of continuing education, she participated in the CPYB program obtaining the title to reflect her knowledge and dedication to the industry.

Dave
grew up boating on the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. Born a power
boater, he quickly grew to love sailing as well. He lived aboard his
yacht with his family here on the Chesapeake for eight years. That,
combined with his extensive cruising experience on the bay and off the
east coast, gives him a unique perspective when it comes to pairing the
right client with the right boat. Dave is our 'go anywhere' broker and
has traveled with clients all over the United States to find the best
yacht to suit their needs, often delivering it back to home port after
purchase. As a selling broker, Dave becomes so familiar with his
listings, he can discuss details with potential buyers as if the yacht
were his own. You won't find a broker more enthusiastic about the
buying/selling experience and yachting in general.
