Ikonic Yachts has announced the appointment of Brad Curtin as Senior Sales Advisor. He brings more than 25 years of experience in the yachting industry, having previously worked as a captain before transitioning into brokerage.

Brad began his career in Long Island as a teenage deckhand, growing up in New York and spending winters in South Florida. He obtained his captain’s licence at just 18 years old and went on to spend over two decades progressing from smaller vessels to increasingly larger yachts. This hands-on, technical background has provided him with a depth of experience. According to the company, his skills include a strong understanding of crew dynamics and operational issues, setting him apart from other brokers.

“Brad's transparency and authenticity align perfectly with everything we're building Ikonic around. We're not trying to be a big brokerage house. We want truly thoughtful advisors who represent exceptional people, and we want to plug our platform into helping them get the most out of their efforts,” commented Ikonic Yachts CEO AJ Blackmon.

Since moving into yacht sales, Brad has closed several notable transactions, including a 47-metre new-build yacht. Ikonic Yachts added that his particular strength lies in matching clients with the right yacht to suit their individual needs.

“Brad takes great care in how he represents his clients. We're incredibly privileged that Brad has trusted us enough to become part of our team,” AJ concluded.
