HMY Yacht Sales

The somewhat humble beginnings of HMY evolved from a young man's determination to succeed, a houseboat and a fishing trip with a client and close friend. That was 1979.

Today, Steve Moynihan and Doc Austin continue to run HMY with the same determination of 1979. With locations from Dania Beach, stretching as far north as Charleston, South Carolina, HMY has created a significant and successful presence along the southeast coast.

HMY has built relationships with the top manufacturers of sportfishing and sport yacht boats in the world, now representing Riviera Yachts, Viking Yachts, Viking Sport Cruisers and Mainship Trawlers. HMY has also grown to be one of the largest yacht brokerage firms in the world.

Humble beginnings have led to great success and we look forward to serving our current and future customer's boating needs well into the future.

Viking Yachts

With breathtaking lines and stellar performance from powerful common-rail MAN diesels, the new Viking 54 Convertible proudly carries the company banner to "build a better boat everyday" to even loftier heights.

Viking has scored more home runs in the 50 to 74 foot class than any other manufacturer and the cutting edge 54 Convertible has grand slam written all over it.

Like all new Vikings, this boat started with a clean sheet of paper and a host of smart ideas garnered from sales and customer input, as well as from thousands of hours racked up by our Viking demo teams on the tournament trail.

The 54 Convertible is beautifully proportioned. Like all new Viking designs, it features a consortium of elements that give it both a fresh new face with a familiar eye-pleasing look that is germane to its stable mates. The stem has an aggressive rake to cut through head seas effortlessly. At almost 18 feet, the beam allows for a massive foredeck to create ample room to mount a dinghy or flats skiff on the bow, while providing amazing accommodations below in the three staterooms and two heads. The house rises smoothly from the deck like an ice sculpture and pertinent details abound, like the engineroom vents, which casually mirror the salon windows. Overall, the 54's profile is nothing less than stunning.

Sperry Top-Sider

Sperry Top-Sider has been an American favorite since 1935 when Paul Sperry, inspired by his dog Prince¹s ability to run nimbly over ice and snow, used a pen knife to cut siping into the outsole of a rubber sneaker. This ingenuity, along with the iconic inspiration of other design details, launched an American Original. Our mission is to share this unique story with a new generation that will embrace our brand because of its heritage, authenticity and optimistic personality.

From the beginning we have been obsessed with quality. We are water enthusiasts creating high performance footwear for people like us that are passionate about the thrill of pursuits on the water. We are inspired every day by the innovative spirit of our founder, and just like Paul, we are all ocean people.

Every one has favorites in their closet; a pair of faded jeans, a cashmere sweater or your lucky sneakers. They convey a sense of style that is always relevant and make us feel relaxed and comfortable. Confident in ourselves, the choices we make and the lifestyle we lead.

Penn

We, at Penn, have been designing and building fishing tackle since 1932. It is the skill knowledge and passion gained over these 75 plus years of designing and manufacturing fishing reels that have enabled us to continue the dream of our founder Otto Henze, of manufacturing the world's highest quality fishing tackle.

Innovation, coupled with knowledge, has enabled Penn to design and launch some of the world's most revolutionary fishing reels and rods. For years, the Penn name has stood for the highest quality products available for saltwater, freshwater, and everything in between. Now Penn is continuing this legacy by introducing the very best, innovative, and distinctive products. From the new patent pending International Torque Lever Drag series of reels, to the new series of star drag reels, to the saltwater-ready low profile casting reels, Penn is delivering the best of both quality and innovation.

International Torque Lever Drag

From the start, the goal was to incorporate the benefits of a star drag reel with the functionality and fishability of a lever drag. Penn reached and exceeded that goal in designing a reel that delivers incredible free spool and casting ability while retaining all of the benefits of lever drag. The International Torque Lever Drag is like no other lever drag reel on the market and includes a new patent pending drag system which offers many unique advantages. Check one out at your local retailer to experience true design excellence.
