Nicole joined the Catamaran Brokerage team in June 2021 and quickly became an integral part of the business. A graduate of Florida Atlantic University with a B.A. in Business Marketing, she brings a strong background in sales and marketing to the yachting world. Although new to the catamaran industry at the time, boating was already second nature to Nicole. Raised in South Florida, she spent nearly every free moment on the water—whether in the Florida Keys or along the coast. Her lifelong love for the ocean includes fishing, freediving, scuba diving, snorkeling, lobstering, and just about any water activity you can name. Since becoming a licensed yacht broker in 2021, Nicole has helped close over 60 catamaran sales each year. She is passionate about guiding clients through every step of the buying and selling process and takes pride in seeing them achieve their cruising dreams. When she’s not working, Nicole enjoys life with her husband and children—splitting weekends between boating on their 25ft power catamaran and cheering at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments for her kids.
"A brokerage and so much more! Nicole and Michelle helped procure our first sail cat, a Lagoon 450S. They walked us thru the process and made what initially felt overwhelming and impossible, an easy reality. Their advisement during the purchase process and after has been invaluable and allowed us to ease into this lifestyle. We took our maiden voyage in Dec 2024, and they continued to support us with questions we had along the way and words of encouragement as we set sail. Their efforts for ensuring a positive experience before, during and after the purchase were tireless. Not only do we consider them as our brokers but now also consider them as friends!"
"A true pleasure dealing with this team We purchased the boat utilizing Michelle Ropiza as broker representing buyer and seller. She is absolutely the best! Her, Nicole, Eva and Pat are awesome! It was a true pleasure dealing with this team from start to finish!"
