About us
Expert & Independent
Experience matters
For more than 30 years, saltwater has run through Jim’s veins. An Australian with a lifelong passion for the sea, he has competed in world-renowned races, completed hundreds of vessel deliveries, and crossed the Atlantic. This depth of real-world yachting experience allows him to perfectly match the right boat with the right owner.
​
Having survived the tragic 2008 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Jim understands how to navigate adversity with calm precision. His credentials include commanding iconic maxi yachts and holding a USL Master Class 5 Captain’s License—credentials earned through thousands of miles at sea.
Philosophy
“It’s a pleasure working with like-minded ocean lovers to find the perfect vessel that truly matches their yachting lifestyle.”
​
This simple yet powerful belief guides everything Senior Yacht Broker Jim Poulsen does — both in business and in life.
Trust & transparency
Jim’s global network of trusted marine professionals is built on a personal, relationship-first approach. For him, trust and transparency are non-negotiable. By deeply understanding each client’s unique needs, he charts a clear, mutually beneficial course from first conversation to successful closing.
​
He believes in complete openness during negotiations and provides full support throughout every transaction — including contract management, registration, insurance, logistics, and the creation of industry-leading photography, video, and digital assets (including AI-enhanced content) that showcase each yacht at its absolute best.
Delivery
Based in Phuket, Thailand, Jim brings over 20 years of international brokerage and dealership experience with some of the world’s most respected yacht companies. Today, as owner of Luxury Yacht Brokers, he offers clients complete freedom of choice and unmatched personal attention.
​
Whether working with private buyers, sellers, or leading international yacht manufacturers, Jim applies the same dedication to delivering smooth transactions and seamless handovers — every single time.
