Coming from a print, digital and social media marketing background, Tom brings a youthful and modern approach to the way yachts are marketed. His understanding of not only Seach Engine Optimization but also Social Media has allowed California Yacht Sales to grow and thrive in both areas in a relatively short amount of time. As the son of Ian Bossenger, he has been a part of the company for many years as he grew up. From helping and presenting at boat shows up and down the coast to assisting on various deliveries, California Yacht Sales has been a significant part of his life for the last 20 years. Now that he works with the company full time, you can find him either in the office or on the docks nearly every day. He purchased, lived on, and sold his own boat, so he is very familiar with the experience of being both a buyer and seller, not just a broker.
Tom takes a very consultative approach to selling boats. He takes a keen interest in making sure that the boat you buy is the right boat for you. As he would say, "There is a big difference between buying A boat and buying THE boat." He understands the value of the broker/buyer and broker/seller relationships, making sure that no matter which side of the deal someone is on, they are fully informed on all aspects of the boat buying and selling process. This consultative and caring approach have allowed him to thrive in the industry, and he has succeeded in nearly every opportunity he's been given. Tom has sold boats from less than $15,000 all the way up to $2.3 million, relying on just word of mouth referrals and making sure his clients are taken care of.
In his free time, he enjoys photography, fishing, and is an avid golfer. While the fishing and golfing may not translate into yacht sales, his photography and videography is featured in many of the listings featured by California Yacht Sales. His personal photography can be viewed by visiting Instagram and searching his username, TheTomBoss. He's not aftraid to get out of his chair to show boats, so feel free to contact him anytime you want to see a listing!
