02 — Luxury Yacht Brokerage

Caldwell
Marine
Group

20-year independent brokerage in South Florida. Still running the site from 2014. The business was serious — the web presence wasn't. We fixed that.

The problem

A serious business.
A 2014 website.

Caldwell Marine Group had spent two decades building a reputation in the South Florida luxury market. Their vessels were photographed beautifully. Their brokers were meticulous. Then prospective buyers went to the website. What they found was a relic — difficult to navigate, impossible to update, and entirely mismatched with the caliber of what was being sold. Every listing deserved better than what the site gave it.

What was built

Editorial feel.
Operational depth.

01
Full Site Redesign

Vessel listing pages with fullscreen hero imagery, detailed spec sheets (LOA, beam, draft, engine, range), and inquiry flows. Designed like a yachting magazine, not a dealership.

02
Broker-Managed CMS

Built in Sanity. Brokers update listings, photography, and pricing themselves — no developer involvement. Schema designed around their actual workflow: vessel type, condition, builder, featured status.

03
PDF Brochure System

Per-vessel PDF brochures generated on demand using Puppeteer. Branded, print-ready, consistent. Brokers trigger generation from the CMS — the brochure reflects live listing data, not a static template.

04
Email Templates

Transactional templates for inquiry responses, listing alerts, and client outreach — designed to match the editorial visual direction. Built in Resend, editable by the team.

Listing design

Every vessel
deserves better.

Spec sheets designed for the actual way buyers evaluate vessels — not an alphabetical data dump. LOA, beam, draft, engine configuration, fuel capacity, and range displayed in a grid that reads naturally. The inquiry flow sits below, never buried.
