With more than 36 years in the yacht industry, Georges Bourgoignie brings lived experience to every sale. Based in Fort Lauderdale with Fraser Yachts, he works across both sailing and motor yachts and is known for handling technically complex vessels as well as long range cruising yachts.
Georges grew up around boats and went on to study marine science at the University of Miami. After graduating, he obtained a 100 ton US Coast Guard license and began working boat shows and brokerage events, which naturally led him into yacht sales in 1986.
His early influences included Pete Bollman, who taught him how to conduct business with integrity, and Paul Buttrose at Nautor’s Swan, where he learned to sell new yacht projects and to focus on quality and pedigree.
Before joining Fraser Yachts in 2012, Georges spent more than ten years at Nautor’s Swan and nearly as long at Camper & Nicholsons International, gaining experience across both sailing and motor yacht brokerage.
Georges has represented buyers and sellers in hundreds of transactions worldwide and is fluent in both English and French. His client first approach and long standing relationships have led to a high level of repeat business and referrals.
