About the broker

Your 26 North Yachts Broker Michael Manteiga

Experience At Your Side

Michael always had a lifelong attraction to saltwater. He’s spent every Summer since his first birthday at the family cottage overlooking Bass River, Grand Cove leading out to Nantucket Sound. He’s lucky enough to continue living on the water overlooking Cape Cod Bay in Kingston, Massachusetts, with his wife and 3 children. They all equally share a deep and magnetic attraction to the saltwater, boating, fishing, or just a great day at the beach with friends and family. In essence, growing up and living on the ocean is a way of life – a genuine quality of life.

Michael has spent 25 years in executive management in the medical device and surgical industry and has transitioned into the boating industry. With that experience, he’s well positioned to transact a highly ethical, efficient, professional and collaborative sales process where everyone wins.

He’s also owned over a dozen boats and no stranger to selling and buying boats. Michael considers boat ownership as a relationship between the owner and the boat itself. He loves assisting sellers and buyers in pursuing and capturing the beauty and serenity of boating and the quality of life that it offers.

Contact Michael

“We just bought a waterfront home in Massachusetts and as first time boat buyers, Mike was a great resource to help us choose the right boat for the waters we had settled in (Cape Cod Bay). Not only did he help narrow down our criteria and select the right boat, he stayed intimately involved after the transaction with getting the boat prepared for launch, transportation and, most importantly, educating us on the boat and systems, navigation in our waterways and acquisition of a mooring in front of our new home. I highly recommend Mike to anyone buying or selling a boat”.

“I had several Brokers forwarding links to me as boats came on the market, but only Mike Manteiga took the time to contact me to find out exactly what I was looking for, then actively search for a corresponding boat.”

As first time yacht buyers it can be a bit overwhelming trying to understand the process and all the things to consider when making a purchase like this. We were fortunate to work with someone like Mike. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the market and a passionate lifelong boater himself. On top of this, he’s a real gentleman and all around nice guy. He took time to thoroughly explain the buying process, answered any and ALL of our questions, and gave us really good advice along the way. Mike and the team at 26 North have deep connections in the industry and can provide guidance and support for all of your needs during the buying process whether it’s financing, insurance, or onboarding training for your new vessel. We can’t say enough good things about our experience working with Mike. If you already know what you’re looking for he will help you get it. If you aren’t quite sure what you’re looking for, he’ll help you focus your search, and then help you get it. If you’re thinking of making a yacht purchase give him a call, he’ll make good things happen for you.
