about us

At Passage Yacht Sales, we bring nearly two decades of expertise in yacht brokerage and marine services across Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest.

Our Story

From 1993 Till Today

Founded in April 1993 by Michael Sellwood, Passage Yacht Sales has been proudly serving Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest for decades. In September 2022, after managing the business for four years, Bonnette Lalonde acquired Passage Yacht Sales, bringing with her a rich background in yacht management and detailing through her company, Bon’s Yacht Services. By integrating the two companies, Bonnette has created a full-service yacht brokerage and management experience, offering clients both professional sales services and exceptional care for their vessels.
