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.

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.

Dockage and shore power in Cape Coral, Sanibel, Captiva, and Naples can make or break the ownership experience. Before you choose a home dock, marina slip, or lift, match the boat to the infrastructure—not the other way around.

Use this quick-check guide:
1) Shore power: Confirm pedestal options before you sign. Many residential docks are 30A; marinas vary with 30A/50A, and some support 100A. Know whether your boat needs 120V/240V single- or split-phase, and avoid relying on adapters as a permanent solution.
2) Transformers and converters: Isolation transformers help with galvanic protection and voltage compatibility. If your vessel was set up for different voltages overseas, ask an electrician about transformers or frequency-conversion needs before you plug in.
3) Amperage reality check: Air conditioning, gyro stabilizers, and chargers can push you past 30A fast. Calculate total load at the dock, not just underway, and plan for simultaneous draws. Long cord runs add voltage drop—keep cords appropriately sized and in good condition.
4) Slip length and beam: Measure end-to-end including pulpits, platforms, and davits. Confirm beam plus fenders against piling or finger spacing so you’re not wedged or rubbing on tides and wind shifts.
5) Lift ratings: Size for full wet weight—fuel, water, tender, gear—and build in headroom rather than running at the limit. Check bunk spacing for hull shape and verify piling integrity, cross-bracing, and power to the lift.
6) Access and exposure: Verify depth at low water, fixed bridge and lock clearances, turning radius in canals, and storm plan for surge and wind.

If you’re comparing addresses, slips, or lifts, use this list and schedule a dockside assessment before you buy.

Evidence-based yacht valuation is how sellers in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, and Marco Island defend an asking price that brings real buyers to the table—and avoid the costly stall of overpricing. Here’s how to build a valuation that stands up to scrutiny and supports a smooth sale.

1) Comparable sales that matter: Use closed sales from similar length, brand, model, year, power, and configuration within Southwest Florida waters. Adjust for hours, generator time, upgrades, and recent refits—not just list prices.

2) Objective condition grading: Document hull, paint/gelcoat, machinery, electronics, interior, and canvas/soft goods with clear photos and recent service notes. Minor cosmetic fixes can shift your position within the comp range.

3) Equipment and upgrades inventory: Create a line-by-line list with model years and install dates. Note high-impact items like stabilizers, electronics packages, watermakers, tender/garage setups, and lithium/charging systems.

4) Service history that proves care: Organize invoices and logs for engines/drives, aftercoolers/heat exchangers, bottom work, batteries, and generator services. Verified maintenance compresses buyer discounting.

5) Market timing and usage fit: Consider seasonal demand swings, slip availability, and local cruising needs (draft, bridge clearance, range). Price where your target buyer shops—not where you wish the market were.

6) Pricing strategy with room to negotiate: Set an asking price bracketed by adjusted comps and current actives. Leave measured negotiation space without drifting above evidence; momentum beats vanity pricing.

Ready to price your yacht with confidence? If you’re in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, or Marco Island, request a data-backed valuation and launch with a number you can defend.

09/14/2026

When two yachts look identical on paper, service history is the tiebreaker. A well-documented older yacht often beats a newer one with deferred maintenance because you’re buying proven care, predictable costs, and fewer surprises.

Read the records like a pro:
1) Build a timeline. Lay out haul-outs, engine services, and major upgrades by year. Note long gaps between seasons or missing annual work—ask why.
2) Cross-check hours and dates. Engine hours on invoices should move logically over time. Sudden jumps or resets need an explanation.
3) Confirm time-based items. Look for evidence that hoses, belts, batteries, exhaust elbows, heat exchangers, standing rigging, anodes, and seal replacements were done on schedule, not just when something failed.
4) Verify with paperwork. Match log entries to itemized invoices: dates, vendor letterhead, parts lists, serial numbers, and yard work orders. The boat’s HIN and engine serials should appear consistently.
5) Track location and ownership changes. Moves between climates or long layups can explain gaps—but winterization, recommissioning, and storage prep should be documented.
6) Follow the money. Big-ticket work (cooling system overhauls, saildrive seals, electronics, windlass, pumps) should have clear receipts, not vague notes.
7) Close the gaps. If something’s missing, request raw invoices or technician reports. Honest sellers usually have scans or can obtain duplicates from the yard.

Why it matters: Deferred maintenance shifts cost and risk to you. Strong records show stewardship and reduce the likelihood of post-purchase surprises. Sorting multiple listings? Use this checklist, and bring the most complete file to survey and sea trial.
