Sea Independent Bahamas marks the expansion of a global yacht brokerage network into one of the Caribbean’s fastest-growing superyacht destinations.

Key Questions
What is Sea Independent Bahamas?
Sea Independent Bahamas is a new yacht brokerage office in the Abacos offering global brokerage services and access to the Bahamian yacht registry.
Why does it matter?
It provides yacht owners and buyers with local expertise backed by an international network, improving access to services, transactions, and compliance in the Bahamas.
Sea Independent Expands with Bahamas Office
The world just got a little bigger for Sea Independent and its customers. The Hoorn, Netherlands-headquartered company, with a network of more than 35 internationally certified yacht and ship brokers, opened a location in the Bahamas in March.
Matthew Janes, a lifelong mariner who has worked for an offshore company for over a decade in Mexico, Brazil, Guyana, Alaska, and other U.S. locations, serves as the Bahamas location’s yacht broker and manager.
Growing Demand in the Bahamas
“The Bahamas is a fast-growing superyacht destination, perfect for short charters using Nassau, Georgetown, and Abaco as access points,” says Marcel Borgmann, Chief Executive Officer, who founded Sea Independent in 2010.
Matthew adds, “When I first settled in the Abacos over 45 years ago, vessels over 100-feet LOA were rarely seen. Now, superyachts are a common sight and destinations like Emerald Bay and Baker’s Bay offer world-class yacht facilities.
At the same time, the Bahamian Government has made the Bahamian Yacht and Ship registry very appealing. We will provide seamless access to the Bahamian registry, offering a unique set of benefits for yacht owners.
Our team is dedicated to delivering the highest level of service to clients who expect nothing less than excellence. As global travelers, we have contacts all over North and South America and are prepared to do whatever it takes to get the job done.”
Strategic Location in the Abacos
Sea Independent Bahamas is based in Man-O-Way Cay, Abacos, placing it at the center of one of the region’s most active cruising and yachting areas.
Market Perspective
- The Bahamas has become a primary short-range cruising ground for U.S.-based superyachts, particularly with Nassau and the Exumas acting as key staging points.
- The Bahamian yacht registry continues to gain traction due to its regulatory flexibility and international recognition.
- Establishing a brokerage presence in the Abacos provides direct access to one of the Caribbean’s most active refit, charter, and cruising corridors.
