Austin Slifer

Austin Sifer has been immersed in the yachting industry for over six years, with a lifelong passion for life on the water. Growing up boating on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, Austin was racing sailboats and navigating coastal waters before he could even remember — an early foundation that shaped both his career and expertise.

After attending the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), Austin chose to pursue a career in yachting, beginning as crew aboard vessels throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean. He worked on yachts ranging from 40 to 72 meters, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in vessel operations, maintenance standards, and onboard systems at the highest level.

Following his time at sea, Austin transitioned into the refit sector in Fort Lauderdale, serving as a project manager at LMC. There, he developed a deep technical understanding of yacht construction, refits, systems integration, and budgeting — experience that now provides a major advantage to his clients.

For the past two years, Austin has been focused on yacht sales, where his background as both crew and project manager allows him to guide buyers and sellers with confidence, transparency, and detailed knowledge. His well-rounded industry experience ensures clients receive accurate information, strategic guidance, and a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Austin’s lifelong connection to boating, combined with global experience and technical expertise, makes him a trusted advisor for clients navigating the yacht market.
