Does Fraser have offices in the U.S.?

Fraser maintains a substantial American presence through offices in Fort Lauderdale, San Diego, and Palm Beach, reflecting roots that run deeper than many realise. The company was born in North America—founded by David L. Fraser in Cannery Village, Newport Beach, California—and originally operated from Newport, San Diego, Seattle, and Fort Lauderdale. This wasn’t a foreign brokerage expanding into American waters; rather, Fraser began as an authentically American enterprise before growing into the global institution it represents today.
Fraser in the U.S.
The significance of the United States to Fraser’s business cannot be overstated: American yacht owners and charterers account for over 50% of the company’s activity worldwide. This isn’t merely a market Fraser serves: it is the foundation upon which the entire operation was built. The Fort Lauderdale office, positioned in what many consider the yachting capital of America, provides immediate access to the world’s largest concentration of superyacht owners, builders, and industry specialists. San Diego’s location on the Pacific Coast ensures Fraser maintains expertise in West Coast cruising grounds, from California’s Channel Islands through the Pacific Northwest. Palm Beach serves the discerning clientele drawn to Florida’s Gold Coast and the Bahamas beyond.
Fraser’s American team members bring decades of local knowledge to clients navigating U.S. regulations, taxation considerations, and regional cruising opportunities. The offices connect clients with charter destinations throughout North America, from New England’s maritime heritage through Alaska’s pristine wilderness, while providing complete support for yacht ownership, management, and crew placement. The Crew Network maintains dedicated coordinators in the United States, ensuring captains and owners receive responsive service regardless of where their vessels cruise.
The 2019 acquisition by MarineMax, America’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, reinforced Fraser’s North American heritage while enabling further expansion across the continent. For clients based in the United States or those exploring American waters, Fraser offers what only a company with genuine transatlantic roots can provide: European sophistication combined with American accessibility, delivered through teams who understand both worlds intimately.
