Yellowfin Boats

Yellowfin is a yacht company located in Sarasota, Florida. The official website actually gives a small map that depicts where this company can be found. Unfortunately some of the links on the main website are under construction (at the time of this review). However, there is contact information, such as email addresses and phone numbers provided on the official website. On the other hand, there is no history presented on Yellowfin Yachts, or when it was founded. The owner is revealed as one Wylie Nagler. There is, however, a link to an online Yellowfin store that offers various clothing and accessories to suit men and women.

As for the different types of Yellowfin boats, there are models listed like the 17 Skiff, 21 Hybrid, 24 Bay, 23, 29, 32, 34, 36, and 42.
