For Aaron Bond, the ocean is a legacy, not just a lifestyle. As a luxury maritime consultant and Yachting Advisor with Engel & Völkers Yachting, Aaron bridges the gap between high-end real estate and the world of international yacht sales. Born into a lineage of maritime experts—with a father who was an avid surfer and sailor and an uncle who was a master shipbuilder—Aaron’s earliest memories were formed on the deck of an ocean racing sailboat at age four. That moment “set the hook” for life, sparking a deep-seated passion for the sea that has spanned decades.

Growing up between the historic coastline of Ocean City, New Jersey, and the vibrant boating hubs of St. Petersburg, Florida, Aaron’s life has been defined by the water. From surfing and wakeboarding to fishing the Atlantic and Gulf from Montauk to Merritt Island, he has spent his life refining his skills as a sailor and boat handler. This lifelong immersion provides him with a rare, firsthand perspective on vessel performance, hull integrity, and the nuances of the maritime lifestyle.

As the Managing Broker of Engel & Völkers Tampa Downtown, Aaron has established a reputation for excellence in luxury waterfront real estate and equestrian estates. While a fresh face in the specialized field of yacht brokerage, he brings a sophisticated consultancy background and the powerhouse global backing of Engel & Völkers Yachting. Supported by world-class training and a global network of seasoned yachting experts, Aaron provides a seamless experience for clients navigating the complexities of maritime acquisitions.
