About North Point Yacht Sales

North Point Yacht Sales has a proven track record of over 20 years providing excellent customer service in the yacht brokerage business. Paul Mikulski, founder of JPort Annapolis, had a vision to create an environment where customers could experience all dimensions of sailing in one locations. In 1992, JPort was founded which focused on three areas: J/World for instruction, Chesapeake Boating club for club rentals, and JBoat Chesapeake for new and brokerage yacht sales. Since the inception, the three parts have stayed in the same location while the ownerships have changed allowing each area to focus on its specialization.

North Point Yacht Sales has taken over the sales organization of JPort. North Point Yacht Sales is led by Annapolis-based sailors Ken and Jennifer Comerford who bring to the venture a wealth of experience as sail and powerboat owners, as active racers and as dedicated cruisers. The team at North Point Yacht Sales has extensive experience and passion for boating and skills the modern marine industry requires. North Point Yacht Sales has created a formula that has proven quite successful: Provide a quality product at a value price. Provide outstanding customer service. Build an organization around people who care.

Evan Harold

North Point Yacht Sales is happy to introduce Evan Harrell as the newest member of the team. Evan has been unable to shake the sailing bug he caught as a child in Norfolk, VA. The relationship with North Point Yacht Sales began after he delivered a client’s J 105 to Cape Cod. We realized his background in yacht management as well as his prior experience as a broker in New Zealand would add value to the North Point office. Recent accomplishments include contributing to winning the 2009 Down the Bay Race, 2009 Catalina 27 National Championships, and the overall 2010 IRC National Championships. Evan gives NPYS the ability to provide a new level of tailored service to fellow yachtsmen to help fulfil their boating goals. Beyond selling or finding your boat, Evan can help you plan voyages, prepare for races, find contractors, and much more.
