Swiftsure Yachts is pleased to announce the recent move of broker Molly Howe from Seattle to Bellingham, Washington. This now gives us an expanded range from the Northwest corner of the United States, down the West Coast to California, and as far east as Newport, Rhode Island. 
Since Swiftsure Yachts was founded in 2002, our goal has always been to create a full service brokerage for those interested in buying or selling high quality boats. Our team approach, in-depth expertise, and exceptional service are key to making sure we meet the needs and expectations of our customers. This move to Bellingham helps to further that mission.
Swiftsure partner Ryan Helling had this to say of the move:
“Swiftsure Yachts is continually looking to expand our range and to improve our ability to serve clients in different areas. While Bellingham isn’t too far from our home office in Seattle, the city and port are a significant center of maritime activity, especially considering its close proximity to Anacortes, the San Juan Islands, and British Columbia.”
Molly has been a dedicated part of the Swiftsure team since 2021, and is committed to helping clients buy the yacht of their dreams or sell one they currently own. She is a lifelong sailor and boater, graduate of Maine Maritime Academy, and is an avid ocean and buoy racer in various classes. Molly possesses a versatile range of experience on vessels both sail and power driven, and is adept at knowing the mechanical and operational side of all boats.
A recent testimonial about working with Molly says it all:
“We can’t speak highly enough about Molly! This was the most straightforward, honest, and helpful interaction we have had with a broker. Molly sold us a boat, but it felt like she facilitated us meeting the boat we wanted—zero pressure, lots of help! And she was extremely flexible and available. Molly worked with me as a sailor, not the wife of a sailor, and that made all the difference. Also, it was super helpful to discuss purchasing an older boat with someone who owns an older boat, her expertise was much appreciated!”
The Swiftsure Yachts brokerage team now has a larger reach than ever. Ryan Helling in Seattle; Molly Howe in Bellingham; Bob Schoonmaker on Bainbridge Island; Bill Niedringhaus in Anacortes, WA; Allison Lehman, Velina Barnes, and Caleb Paine in California; and Pete McGonagle in Rhode Island.
