About Cape Fear Boat Brokerage

Cape Fear Boat Brokerage pairs deep, on-the-water knowledge of the Carolina coast with the marketing reach and resources of Integrity Yacht Sales. Whether you're buying your first boat or selling one you've loved for years, you get a broker who knows this coastline personally — backed by a brokerage built to get your boat seen by the right buyers, wherever they are.

Meet Reuel Sample

Coastal Carolina is one of the true jewels of the East Coast cruising grounds — from world-class sailing and offshore fishing to the Gulf Stream and the quiet pleasures of the Intracoastal Waterway. Few people know these waters better than Reuel Sample.

Reuel brings more than 45 years of sailing experience to every client he works with. He grew up aboard — his family sailed home from Brisbane, Australia in 1973, and made another transatlantic crossing in 1985. A former Navy officer, Reuel currently owns an Irwin 46, which he's sailed up and down the East Coast, and he brings hands-on knowledge of bluewater sailboats, inshore sailboats, and power craft alike.

He also brings something many brokers don't: a background in digital marketing, and a clear understanding of how to get a boat in front of the buyers most likely to say yes. Based in Wilmington, NC, Reuel is ready to help you buy or sell throughout the Carolinas.

1. Local expertise you can trust.
Reuel brings over 45 years on the water and a lifetime of hands-on experience with sailboats and power craft alike — not just market knowledge, but a real feel for what makes a boat right for Carolina waters.

2. National reach, without losing the personal touch.
As part of Integrity Yacht Sales, your listing is backed by professional photography, video, and targeted marketing that puts it in front of serious buyers far beyond the Carolinas — while you still work directly with a broker who knows you by name.

3. A duty broker, every day, no exceptions.
Someone is always available to show your boat and answer a buyer's questions — and unlike many brokerages, we show up in person for every showing, regardless of where it is.

National Marketing Power, Local Commitment

Cape Fear Boat Brokerage operates as part of Integrity Yacht Sales, a brokerage built on a simple idea: most brokers stop at a few photos and a short description, then wait. Integrity doesn't.

Every listing is supported by professional photography and video, paired with detailed descriptions built to connect with what a buyer is actually looking for. From there, Integrity runs targeted marketing campaigns that put your boat in front of a wide network of prospective buyers and industry contacts — across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and owner communities where serious buyers are already looking.

That reach is matched by hands-on local commitment. A duty broker is always available, every day, to show your boat — and Integrity brokers attend every showing personally, regardless of location, rather than waiting for a buyer to come to them.

The result: the marketing power of a national brokerage, with the personal attention of a broker who's local to you.
