Wally Catalano

With more than 30 years of experience, Wally has built a career helping clients find their dream boats while maintaining the same passion and enthusiasm that first drew him to the industry. For Wally, boating is more than recreation—it’s about creating lasting memories with family and friends. As a father of four and proud grandfather, he understands the true value of time spent together on the water.

After two decades in the banking industry, Wally transitioned into yacht sales in 1977 with Gulfwind Marine, bringing with him a strong foundation in client service and financial insight. In 2009, he became one of the original brokers at Tom George Yacht Group, where he has continued to grow his reputation as a trusted advisor and experienced cruising trip leader.

Throughout his career, Wally has guided clients on boating adventures across Florida, the Keys, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and beyond. His hands-on approach and real-world experience allow him to match clients with the right yacht, educate them on ownership, and ensure a smooth transition when it’s time for their next move.

Known for building lasting relationships, many of Wally’s clients have become lifelong friends, connected by their shared love of the boating lifestyle. Outside of work, he enjoys golf, motorcycling, cooking, and spending time with his family—continuing to live the same lifestyle he helps his clients achieve.
