About Islandside

Named fora family boat.

Islandside Yacht Sales is a dream realized by yacht broker and principal Joe Sciuto, who learned the business working alongside his father, industry veteran Dick Sciuto.

The name

Where Islandside comes from

Joe Sciuto learned the business working with his father, industry veteran Dick Sciuto — and wanted, one day, a brokerage company of his own.

Islandside Yacht Sales takes its name from a classic wooden motor vessel his father once owned: Islandside.

Many things have changed since that photograph was taken. What remains the same is our commitment to serving the boating community with integrity and a straightforward way of doing business.

How we work

From center consoles to motor yachts, Islandside provides experienced, straightforward representation for buyers and sellers throughout New England and beyond.

  1. Relationships first

    Our brokers' roots run throughout Buzzards Bay, the Elizabeth Islands, Cape Cod and Rhode Island. Those long-standing relationships help connect the right buyers, sellers, boats and marine professionals when it matters.

  2. A straightforward way of doing business

    We guide boaters toward educated decisions. Buying or selling, new or used, our job is to steer you in the right direction through the whole process — and to tell you plainly what we think.
