Daniel Voorhees

Daniel Voorhees grew up boating with his family on the Great Lakes. Daniel prefers sailing when he’s on a sailboat and prefers motor yachts when he’s on a motor yacht, but in any event, he is happiest with the wind in his thinning gray hair.

After becoming an empty-nester in 2008, he sold his yacht brokerage business in Seattle and went out to see the world, living in eight countries and traveling dozens more over the last 11 years.

His clients and customers span the globe, so he splits his time between Europe, Florida and Asia. Daniel is committed to providing world-class advisory services, expert market positioning and careful transaction management for his many brokerage clients. He has logged thousands of miles and has sold dozens of yachts in the US, UK, Mexico, the Caribbean, SE Asia and Europe. His extensive yacht sales and consulting experience spans more than 15 years. He has built expertise in sailboats, motor yachts, expedition superyachts and commercial vessel conversions, but his primary focus is customer satisfaction.

The project development process is very complicated, with many moving pieces, specialists with overlapping areas of expertise, classification and flag state considerations and myriad other details to manage. There are important implications to consider across a broad spectrum of issues, including mission compliance, safety, aesthetics, functionality and cost control. Keeping all parties on the same path is not easy and it takes clear and honest communications, credibility and a steady and knowledgeable hand to bring a project to a happy completion. If you are considering developing a conversion or refit project, or you are thinking about upgrading, you can be assured that with the Aurora team, you’re in good hands.

Daniel’s attentive, detail oriented, yet casual, consultative style will make your vessel evaluation, development and transaction process a satisfying experience. Daniel’s engineering background, extensive yacht sales and business ownership experience, professionalism and keen market insight combine to ensure that each of our vessel projects & transactions will be a ‘Win’ for all involved. We look forward to working for you and to earning your confidence, along with your referrals.
