Purcell Yachts — A Legacy Built on Trust Since Marina del Rey’s Beginning

When Marina del Rey first opened its slips in the early 1970s, Gerry Purcell was already here — building relationships, matching clients with the right vessels, and shaping what would become one of Southern California’s most trusted yacht brokerages.

Purcell Yachts was founded with a simple mission: offer expert, honest guidance backed by deep local knowledge and a lifelong passion for boating. Over 50 years later, that mission still drives everything we do.

Family-Owned. Local. Independent.

We’re not a corporate dealership or part of a national chain — and we never have been. Purcell Yachts is proudly independent and family-owned, with roots that run deep in Marina del Rey.

This isn’t just where we do business — it’s home. We’ve grown alongside the harbor, and we’ve earned the trust of generations of boaters who know the difference that local experience and integrity can make.
