Our Yachts

Spike’s commitment to our success has been nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to his expertise, relationships, and dedication, I feel completely confident in my new boat, and I can’t recommend Spike and Rapide Yacht Group highly enough!

While we have spent maybe 120 nights at sea ourselves, Guy’s help in pre-passage prep, weather analysis, and especially multihull boat training was really appreciated. He is professional, easy-going, and highly recommended.

Our Balance 526, now “Volare”, is exactly what we wanted.  We’re enjoying cruising the Exumas, and looking forward to more adventures.

Over the years, he’s supported me with resources, connections, and advice, it’s been invaluable.

High performance, blue water, catamarans are a very niche market. Spike’s years of experience in this field really set him apart from other brokers that don’t specialize in this area. For this reason he provides better feedback on positioning and pricing and most importantly finding qualified buyers that understand and appreciate and are willing to pay for the special capabilities of high performance catamarans.

We came to Rapide looking for a safe, well-performing catamaran that could take our family around the world. As passionate sailors with a clear vision—and after a frustrating experience with another broker—we knew we needed someone transparent, knowledgeable, and truly on our side. Spike listened. He understood what we were after. It’s rare to find a broker who genuinely gets it, and even rarer to find one who truly cares. That’s why we’re so glad we found Rapide. Thank you.

Spike’s Rapide Yacht Group had it all together… from the very first contact he gave me solid advise and handled a complex transaction expertly at every hurdle and step. Engaged and responsive at all times, even after the close, I couldn’t be happier.

It has been the longest time since my dad dreamed of owning a Gunboat. With the long dream came the longest road. There has been so much consideration, so much decision making and so many emotions involved in this process. It has truly been overwhelming and yet so fulfilling. With all honesty, if it wasn’t for Spike we would not be here and proud Gunboat owners. Every text message, every phone call, every trip to see a boat, every decision and indecisiveness we had -Spike was there, answering honestly with our best interest at heart.

As the proud new owners of a Gunboat, we required a deep level of expertise in managing our program. We engaged Spike early in our ownership to help with project set-up as well as develop ongoing systems and processes that simplify and optimize our ownership experience. Alaia has an ambitious cruising plan. Spike’s hands-on experience running and managing a similar Gunboat has proven invaluable as we embark on our adventures into the Pacific

Identifying and hiring a knowledgeable owner’s representative to protect a client’s investment during construction is essential. A strong project manager must balance technical expertise with clear, tactful communication. Spike is one of the few professionals in the performance multihull segment who brings both—and does so with integrity.

Spike’s skill and experience have been invaluable components of my multihull ownership. His technical understanding and operational knowledge of high-performance cruising multihulls are widely respected within the industry. He has added value in every aspect of my boat ownership experience.
