About Jack Flanigan

JACK FLANIGAN

Jack Flanigan is a true local who was born and raised in Stuart, Florida and the Northern Abacos, Bahamas.  His early childhood was spent between Walker’s and Little Grand Cay, Bahamas, Stuart, FL and Montauk, NY. His passion for the water comes innately from double generations of family involvement in all aspects of the boating industry. He learned to fish and run a boat before he could even drive.  He continues to spend time in Little Grand where he learned to fish the flats, spearfish inshore and off, and compete in tournaments. Jack has captained boats from skiffs to sportfish, crossed to the Bahamas countless times (34’Crusader), and fished his way between the Keys to Montauk (56’ Ocean). 

Jack earned his BA in Business Administration from Florida Atlantic University. Before starting with HMY Yachts, Jack worked in various aspects of Flanigan's Enterprises, the beloved South Florida family business that taught him the values of hard work, hospitality, and the appreciation of family saltwater adventures. Jack was then trained by Senior HMY Broker Mike McCarthy and joined the HMY/McCarthy Yacht Sales Team when he realized his career had to involve boats and the sea.

Jack’s approach to yacht brokerage is similar to what he learned from his family’s business: treat and serve clients like old and new friends, with genuine relationships and integrity. Jack knows honest, authentic relationships come from hard work and communication. He looks forward to helping people find the boats they need to create their own family memories and saltwater adventures.
