Meet Dan Greenwood
I'm Dan Greenwood, your dedicated boat and yacht broker, committed to making the boat buying and selling experience smooth and enjoyable. With over 25 years of expertise in the marine industry, I started my career at a Meridian/Bayliner dealership before launching Greenwood Yacht Services 17 years ago. Since then, I’ve specialized in connecting buyers with the perfect vessel and helping sellers achieve their goals.
After a few successful years running Greenwood Yacht Services, I joined Southern Straits Yachts to expand my knowledge and contribute to a larger operation. However, I recently returned to Greenwood Yacht Services to gain more flexibility over my time which I felt was essential to creating lasting relationships with my clients.
As a broker, I take pride in managing every detail of the buying and selling process. For buyers, I do the legwork and seek out the perfect boat for your specific needs, I handle owner negotiations, paperwork, and everything in between to ensure a hassle-free experience. For sellers, I manage marketing efforts, coordinate with co-brokers, surveyors and mechanics, and engage with potential buyers to find the right match. My mission is to simplify the complex world of boat transactions, so you can focus on the excitement of the journey ahead. Whether you’re stepping into boat ownership for the first time or passing on the torch, I’m here to navigate the entire process with you.
When I’m not brokering deals, I’m active in giving back to the community. I proudly serve as a pirate for Variety Children's Charity, for over 28 years I've been one of the organizers of the Variety Boat for Hope event at Granville Island. I volunteer my time with Santa's Christmas Ships, various local Power Squadron events including the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at Belcarra Park, I’m actively involved with the Belcarra community group, contributing to local initiatives and events. I also host an annual Flotilla Party at Boulder Island with live music. I live on Boulder Island, where I fully immerse myself in the marine lifestyle—it’s more than just a job; it’s a way of life.
Let’s get you on the water for your next adventure!

Boating has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up lake boating and waterskiing before moving to ocean boating in 2008. Since then, I’ve spent many years cruising the Gulf Islands and BC coast and have been actively involved in the local boating community.
I completed the Canadian Power & Sail Squadron training program and have been a member of both the Vancouver Rowing Club and the Port Moody Power & Sail Squadron. Over the years, I’ve held Bridge positions with the Port Moody Squadron and, as Socials Officer, have helped organize many events that bring our boating community together.
After a 36-year corporate career in customer experience, operations and leadership, I retired from the corporate world in 2023. I also own Deep Cove Adventures Inc, coordinating corporate team-building experiences on and around the waters of Indian Arm.
Today, I work alongside Dan at Greenwood Yacht Services, supporting our clients throughout the buying and selling process, from marketing and boat showings to surveys, mechanical inspections, negotiations and all the details that happen behind the scenes. I continue to build my knowledge of the brokerage business from Dan while bringing my own boating experience, organization and customer-focused approach to the team.
One of my favourite parts of the job is seeing a new owner take possession of their boat. Helping someone find the right boat and watching their excitement when the deal comes together is incredibly rewarding. I look forward to helping you with your next adventure on the water.
