About SI Yachts
Staten Island Yacht Sales, founded in 1964 as Staten Island Boat Sales, began as a mere dream and has since expanded into one of the largest mid-size yacht dealerships in the world. Prior to the 1964 opening, its founders Phillip Bongiorno and his son Frank were selling Owens and Ulrichsen boats for Schatz Bros. in Brooklyn.
As the Verrazano Bridge was being constructed Phil and Frank, as entrepreneurs, decided to make that big leap only others dream about and go into business for themselves in Staten Island. The business began with a purchase of a trailer and a plot of land in Great Kills which is now the current site of our Staten Island location. In 1973 we leased a space on Woodcleft Canal, Freeport, Long New York and in 1978 we purchased the facility. The rest as they say is history for SI Yachts.
Recognized as a leader in the industry, the team at SI Yachts are always finding ways to improve the boating lifestyle. "We listen to our customers present needs, interpret future ones and we develop solutions." says General Manager Jay Hendrix. "As a yacht sales, marina and service center owner and an avid boater Frank has always put the customer first. Our team of certified technicians work on boats every day, all year round, enabling our customers to enjoy the fullest boating experience available to them."
