Norwood & Skiff Yacht Sales

Norwood & Skiff Yacht Sales Norwood & Skiff has Brokers, Mechanics, and Captains on staff for one reason: You. We work for YOU. Period. You see, we do this for a living. All day, every day.

Norwood & Skiff Yacht Sales came to life after a group of like-minded Captains, Brokers, Crew, and Mechanics got together over the course many lunches at various marinas around South Florida and talked about the Yacht Brokerage industry. About what was good, what was bad, and what they'd all like to see done differently. It was in this spirit of common goals, of service to clients who became friends and friends who became clients that this boutique yacht brokerage was born. We are yacht brokers first and foremost, but, unlike so many of our peers, we seek true partnership with our clients. But, we'd like to help out along the way if you let us. We are on boats of different manufacturers. Different ages and propulsion. Power and Sail. Displacement and planing hulls. Modern design, and classics. Day boats and trawlers...

Over decades, we've learned a thing or two about what makes the difference between a boat that is a nightmare and a boat that is a pleasure. Between a boat that will transport you easily across the water and one that fights you seemingly every step of the way. Between a boat that bleeds money in depreciation, and one that holds its' value year after year. If you are open to opinion and discussion, open to suggestions that you may never have considered, and ready to move forward in your boating lifestyle --- we welcome the opportunity to sit down with you and talk about how our staff can help you realize your goals on the water, whether crossing oceans, or just figuring out how to look good while docking. We're here to serve you. Just drop us a line.

Price improvement on a proven head-turner. This 1999 Cabo 45 Express in Cape Coral delivers the pedigree and purpose serious anglers expect—backed by twin Caterpillar 3406s (800 hp each) for a total of 1,600 hp—and the updates you want now. Cabo’s 45 was Boating Magazine’s 1997 Boat of the Year, and this example shows why, with a wide beam, modified-V hull and confident handling that made the model a legend.

Dialed-in helm flexibility sets this one apart: three full stations plus cockpit controls. The lower helm features triple 12" Garmin MFDs, air conditioning and expansive wraparound seating. A true bridge carries full controls with twin 12" Garmin MFDs and forward lounge seating, while the upper tuna tower offers a complete control station for sight-fishing. A fourth set of controls in the cockpit makes docking and backing down a breeze.

The Garmin electronics suite is comprehensive and current, including two Garmin 7612xsv MFDs, three Garmin 1242xsv Touch MFDs, a GMR424 HD open array radar, and GHC 20 autopilot with controls at all stations. Add newer canvas, continual maintenance and updates, all services up to date, and a fresh detail, and she’s turnkey. Bonus: an assumable slip at Cape Harbour.

Offered at $379,900. If you’ve been waiting for a properly equipped, well-kept Cabo 45 Express, this is the one to see. Contact us to request details or schedule a private showing in Cape Coral.

Custom, low-hour, and built to turn heads—this one-owner 2022 Glasstream 328 Pro-XS is the performance center console that checks every box.

Standout value in a coveted layout: this lift-kept 2014 Jeanneau NC 11 in Stars & Stripes Blue (repainted in 2022) blends easy handling with smart indoor-outdoor living—now offered at $170,000 in Fort Myers Beach. Twin Volvo D3 200s with joystick and bow thruster make docking simple, and you can cruise comfortably at 22–24 knots while burning about 14 gph. A 5kW generator plus air conditioning/heat keep weekends effortless.

Natural light pours through a very large sunroof, hull windows, and pocket sliders that open the salon to the cockpit. The modular seating includes a moving lounge to expand cockpit space—perfect for entertaining. The two-cabin layout sleeps four, with a salon that converts for two more, and the large head is not a wet head. The functional galley has been updated with an air fryer replacing the oven, and there’s a Magma grill for alfresco meals.

Helm highlights include a 12" Simrad MFD with radar, analog gauges, and a Volvo digital display. A side opening helm door leads to wide side decks, bow sun pads, and easy windlass access. Notable recent care and extras: rebuilt starboard engine (new long block, turbo, riser, aftercooler, alternator) with about two years of warranty remaining, full cockpit enclosure, new batteries (

Turn-key, documented, and dialed in—this 2008 Tiara 3900 Sovran in Cape Coral stands out for the right reasons. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 370HP with joystick-controlled IPS pod drives, she delivers smooth, efficient cruising and effortless docking, with service records to back it all up.

Major mechanical investments are already done. In February 2026 the starboard pod was replaced with a remanufactured unit by Hinckley Yacht Services (Certified Volvo), and the port pod was fully serviced at the same time. Full engine service was completed in January 2025 at 1,197 hours, along with full generator service; the starboard SUS was replaced then, with the port SUS replaced in March 2023. Current hours: approximately 1,355 on the engines and 820 on the Onan generator.

Thoughtful upgrades and proactive care continue throughout: four new AGM house batteries (Nov 2024), three new AGM engine batteries (Mar 2024), new windshield cover and cockpit backdrop canvas with shade (May 2024), bottom paint with Prop Speed (Apr 2023), and Sea Deck flooring in the cockpit. She’s washed monthly, bottom cleaned monthly, and fully detailed every four months.

On deck, the helm offers excellent visibility and intuitive controls with joystick docking, while the cockpit’s generous seating makes entertaining easy. Below, Tiara craftsmanship shines with rich wood finishes, a spacious salon and galley, a private forward stateroom, a convertible mid-cabin, and a well-appointed head with a separate shower. Cruising speed is a comfortable 23 knots.

Offered at $229,900. Serious buyers seeking a well-kept, mechanically updated Sovran should inquire now to schedule a private showing.

Buying a 36–80' yacht in Southwest Florida? Budget beyond the asking price. Here’s a practical framework to estimate you...

Buying a 36–80' yacht in Southwest Florida? Budget beyond the asking price. Here’s a practical framework to estimate your annual ownership spend—and the levers that move it up or down.

1) Dockage and storage: Most marinas bill by overall length, including swim platforms and bow sprits. Costs vary with slip availability, location, and amenities. Covered slips, premium marinas, and liveaboard privileges trend higher. Seasonal demand and hurricane season contracts also affect rates.

2) Insurance: Premiums reflect vessel value, build, age, your experience, claims history, navigation area, and storm plans. Documented hurricane procedures and captain oversight can be favorable; high-performance models or limited experience can add cost.

3) Fuel: Estimate with hours you plan to run × engines’ gallons-per-hour × local fuel price. Speed, sea state, loading, and generator time meaningfully change burn.

4) Routine maintenance: Engines, drives, and generators have time- or hour-based service intervals. Warm, brackish water and year-round use in SWFL accelerate wear on coolers, hoses, and electrical. Plan for washdowns, detailing, zincs, filters, and unexpected fixes.

5) Haul-outs and bottom care: Budget for periodic haul, inspection, and bottom paint based on use and paint type. In SWFL, diver cleanings are more frequent; growth rates, marina water flow, and storage in/out cycles drive cost.

6) Hurricane readiness: Decide now—relocate, haul, or secure in slip. Each path carries expenses for yard space, straps, labor, captain time, and logistics. Some marinas require documented plans.

Weight changes, added toys, and upgrades (stabilizers, watermakers, electronics) increase both fuel and maintenance. Want a tailored breakdown for your short list of boats? Let’s map it out before you make an offer.

Can your dream boat actually reach your Cape Coral or Punta Gorda dock? Local canals and bridges can turn a great yacht ...

Can your dream boat actually reach your Cape Coral or Punta Gorda dock? Local canals and bridges can turn a great yacht into a daily headache—or a perfect fit. Here’s how to think it through when comparing express, flybridge, and trawler designs.

Express cruisers often shine here thanks to lower air draft for bridge clearance and easier canal maneuvering. Flybridge yachts bring visibility and living space, but that extra height can be the difference between gliding under a bridge and turning back. Trawlers typically offer efficient cruising and long-range comfort, but some have deeper draft and higher profiles—know your numbers before you fall in love.

Use this quick, local-minded checklist:
1) Draft: Measure your lowest point vs seasonal water levels. Skinny canals and wind-driven tides matter.
2) Air Draft and Bridge Clearance: Compare your boat’s highest fixed point to the lowest bridge on your route, not just the main one.
3) Beam vs Canal Width: Leave room for passing traffic, lift stations, and mangroves. Wider isn’t always better in tight fairways.
4) Turning Room: LOA plus swim platform can make or break a pivot at your slip; consider thrusters and prop walk.
5) Shore Power: Check pedestal distance, cord runs, and amperage (30A vs 50A, single vs twin). Air con needs and battery chargers add up.
6) Wake and Wind: Afternoon seabreezes and weekend traffic complicate docking—match hull and control setup to your skill level.
7) Maintenance Access: Bridge enclosures, antennas, and hardtops should be easy to drop or remove if clearances get tight.

Ready to align your short list with your dock realities? Let’s talk about a dock-fit plan before you sea trial.

Survey and sea trial days don’t have to be stressful or expensive detours—if you run a smart sequence and know what’s material. Here’s a tight strategy for buyers and sellers of used motor yachts and express cruisers.

1) Sequence that protects you
- Paper first: confirm title, liens, service records, and hours before spending on haul-outs.
- Dockside survey: electrical, plumbing, safety gear, batteries, genset, electronics power-up.
- Haul-out: bottom, running gear, thru-hulls, tabs, hull moisture readings.
- Sea trial last: baseline RPM/speed, temps, oil pressure, charging, vibration, steering, trim. Record performance at cruise and WOT.

2) Scope that actually matters
Material findings:
- Structural or hull core moisture, delam, bulkhead or stringer issues
- Engine/gear risks: abnormal temps, oil samples with fuel/coolant, metal in filters
- Fuel, exhaust, and steering leaks; compromised thru-hulls or seacocks
- Generator underload/overheat; unsafe wiring or corrosion on mains DC buses

Normal for age (negotiate, not panic):
- Minor gelcoat crazing, light corrosion on non-critical fittings
- Tired canvas, dated electronics, worn soft goods
- Bottom paint due, anodes near end of life, weeping shaft seals within spec

3) Respond with leverage, not emotion
- Prioritize a short, priced punch list tied to surveyor notes.
- Ask for seller repairs by licensed pros or a closing credit; avoid DIY promises.
- If a material issue exceeds your set cap or can’t be proven fixed, invoke your contingency and exit in writing before deadlines.
- Keep deposit safe: clear inspection timelines, written addenda, escrow instructions, and who pays for haul/launch if you walk.

Preparing now saves time and deposits later. Want to talk through your game plan before you book the yard?

Offshore-ready, family-friendly, and priced to move—this 2011 NauticStar 2200XS Offshore in Cape Coral delivers big-boat capability in a trailerable 22'3" package. With an 8'6" beam and an offshore-oriented hull, it’s equally comfortable chasing fish beyond the inlet, cruising the bays, or posting up at the sandbar.

Anglers will appreciate the smart deck plan: a large open cockpit, 30-gallon aft livewell with light and recirculation, two 20-gallon insulated fish boxes, high-pressure raw-water washdown, molded anchor storage, and plentiful rod holders. Up front, the spacious bow casting area and forward storage (including cast net space) keep gear organized and the deck uncluttered. A walk-through transom door, flip-down aft bench with backrest, and easy-clean fiberglass deck make switch-hitting between fishing and family duty effortless.

At the helm, an updated Simrad chartplotter, stainless wheel, flush compass, and windscreen put confident control at your fingertips. The enclosed console compartment adds welcome privacy and storage. Built with fiberglass/composite construction, a fiberglass stringer system, and stainless hardware throughout, the 2200XS is designed to be used and enjoyed.

Power comes from a 250 hp Yamaha that was recently rebuilt with a new block and head by professional marine services—receipts on file. The boat has been lift kept with no bottom paint, and a recent survey is available for review.

Offered at $33,000. Ready to go. Arrange your showing in Cape Coral and see why the 2200XS is a true do-it-all Florida center console.
