“From Engineering Dreams to Ocean Realities”
Welcome to the world of Edward Raoelison — a passionate yacht broker whose journey began not on the water, but in the skies. What happens when a man who once inspected aircraft for Bombardier and Airbus trades the sound of jet turbines for the serenity of waves? You get a connector. A strategist. A closer. And above all — someone who understands that luxury isn’t just a product — it’s an experience crafted from trust, precision, and human connection.
Aerospace Roots – Precision, Process, and Passion
Before I ever set foot on a yacht deck, I was walking the tarmac — inspecting multi-million-dollar aircraft, ensuring the tiniest detail met global aerospace standards. Working for major industry leaders like Bombardier, STELIA Aerospace, and DAHER Aerospace taught me the one thing most brokers miss: excellence is never improvised. It’s engineered — like a well-oiled machine.
🔍 I’ve spent years living by checklists, technical drawings, compliance audits, and quality frameworks. Today, I bring that same attention to detail to yacht transactions — because you don’t just buy or sell a yacht… You engineer an experience.
Recruitment – The Art of Human Understanding
After COVID-19 disrupted the aviation world, I pivoted. But not away from excellence — toward people. I became a recruitment consultant for highly technical industries — connecting top talent with companies across Canada and internationally.
🌐 I’ve helped aerospace firms, construction giants, and even food and beverage corporations find the right talent. Beneath all of that was a deeper truth: I was building bridges — between ambition and opportunity. Eventually, I asked myself: What if I could build those bridges in the most luxurious markets in the world?
The Yacht Broker Calling — A New Kind of Freedom
That question led me here: 🏝️ To the world of Yachting — where business meets lifestyle, and where every conversation could become a voyage. I completed the Yacht Broker School and immersed myself in the international yacht scene. But I didn’t come in as a typical broker. I came in with:
-
✈️ A background in aerospace precision
-
🤝 A skillset in high-level human connection
-
🌍 A multicultural, multilingual approach to elite client relationships
Whether I’m helping a Montreal-based entrepreneur discreetly list his yacht, coordinating a charter for a Caribbean getaway, or sourcing a crew for a superyacht in the Mediterranean — I bring a strategic, human-first approach that’s rare in this industry. I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to understand you — and deliver exactly what you envision (or better).
The Connector You Didn't Know You Needed
I don’t just see myself as a yacht broker. I see myself as a luxury connector. A facilitator. A discreet operator who makes things happen — whether it’s:
-
✅ Selling your yacht discreetly and efficiently
-
✅ Finding you the perfect off-market vessel
-
✅ Organizing charters with tailored itineraries
-
✅ Recruiting and vetting top-tier crew
-
✅ Managing concierge-style requests with global partners
My clients don’t come to me just for yachts. They come for the peace of mind that someone is handling things the right way — with elegance, rigor, and results.
