Our Mission
Ocean Marine Brokerage Services is a licensed and bonded commercial vessel brokerage firm dedicated to connecting qualified buyers and sellers of commercial vessels worldwide. Our team of licensed U.S. Coast Guard Captains and industry professionals brings unmatched expertise to every transaction — from initial inquiry through successful closing.
Our History
Founded in 1978 in Port Canaveral, Florida by Steve Kokinos, Ocean Marine relocated its main office to Louisiana in 1992, while also maintaining a sub-office in Florida, licensed & bonded. Since then, we have held a highly visible position in both national and international markets.
With the nature of today's ever-changing business activity, Ocean Marine Brokerage Services has positioned itself for international business. Over the last 30 years, we have generated over 85% of our purchasing clientele from the international market. Our primary activity centers around the brokerage of all types of commercial vessels including oilfield, fishing, and passenger industry. Our listing files are computerized and quite extensive.
Offices are located along the United States Gulf Coast and on the west & east coast of Florida, with agents throughout the United States representing all coasts who can actively research your vessel requests and needs.
Our staff consists primarily of licensed U.S. Coast Guard Captains and agents who have been active in all phases of the commercial vessel industry — ranging from fishing vessels and oilfield work to passenger vessels and cargo ships — and are extremely knowledgeable in the needs of the boat brokerage industry. Our clientele is generated from a worldwide array of industry-specific advertising and promotional activities, personal and business contacts, and client referrals.
