Palm Beach Motor Yachts Expands Newport, Rhode Island Presence with Industry Sales Veteran

Seasoned yacht sales specialist with twenty-five years of industry experience joins Palm Beach Motor Yachts as the builder celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Continuing its expansion and focus on customer experience, Palm Beach Motor Yachts is excited to announce that yacht sales professional Ted Gersen has joined the company’s Newport, Rhode Island team. Gersen is a highly respected luxury yacht broker with more than 25 years of experience representing premium global yacht brands. Following the recent acquisition of Casey’s Marina on Spring Wharf, now the Palm Beach Motor Yachts Marina, Gersen will focus on new-build sales across the Northeast, guiding clients from first specifications through sea trial and final delivery. He will also oversee the region’s exclusive, factory-authorized brokerage for pre-owned Palm Beach Motor Yachts, giving owners the most direct, value-maximizing path to list or buy.

“Ted’s depth of knowledge and client-focused approach make him the ideal ambassador for our brands in New England,” said Mark Richards, CEO/Founder and Chief Designer of Palm Beach Motor Yachts. “Welcoming him during our 30th year anniversary strengthens our brand presence and promise of unparalleled owner care at our new Palm Beach Motor Yachts marina.”

“Palm Beach Motor Yachts has truly perfected the balance between heritage craftsmanship, unparalleled innovation, and performance,” Gersen said. “I’ve followed that evolution for years, and I’m eager to help owners experience it first-hand, whether commissioning a new build or navigating a factory-authorized brokerage sale.”

The Palm Beach Motor Yachts factory-backed advantage program ensures that every owner’s yacht reflects their unique style and needs. The bespoke approach allows customers to choose from a wide range of high-quality materials, finishes, and configurations. Whether they desire a custom layout, personalized interior design, or specific technological features, Gersen and the team will collaborate closely with each client to ensure every detail is precisely as they envision.

With the expansion of customer-focused destinations such as the Palm Beach Motor Yachts Marina in Newport, Rhode Island, and the U.S. headquarters in Stuart, Florida, Richards and team continue to create an unprecedented customer-first experience. Gersen will be a key component to this successful model.A lifelong boater who first fell in love with the water during summers in Avalon, New Jersey, Gersen has logged more than 20,000 nautical miles. He and his wife, Kelly, live in Portsmouth, raising their three children amid Newport’s Rhode Island storied boating community.
