Jim Poulsen, Senior Sales Consultant & Maritimo Brand Specialist – Southeast Asia


For over 30 years, saltwater has run through this Australian’s veins, both playing and working on the water. Countless world-renowned races, hundreds of vessel deliveries and crossing the Atlantic all account to a depth of yachting wisdom that Jim draws upon to connect the right boat with the right buyer. Having survived the tragic 2008 Sydney to Hobart race, he knows how to tack through adversity and has commanded iconic maxi yacht crews with a USL Master Class 5 Captain license. Highly regarded as a successful, trustworthy and dedicated yacht broker with 19 years’ industry experience, Jim has established a global network of marine professionals built through a personal and transparent sales approach. Based in Phuket, Jim also enjoys kite surfing, diving, surfing and competitive triathlons, and joins TYSC with the goal of delivering the best service to clients so they may fully enjoy their on-water lifestyle and create lifelong memories with family and friends.
