Capt. Ken Caine – Managing Broker
-
United States Coast Guard–licensed Master Mariner

Licensed Yacht and Ship Broker, State of Florida, USA
-
Former senior executive at Windstar Cruise Lines during the cruise line's initial launch period
-
Managing Broker, QPS Marine Ships – Fort Lauderdale and Aventura, Florida offices
Capt. Caine brings two perspectives to every transaction: a ship's master's understanding of how a vessel is built, operated and maintained, and a cruise-line executive's understanding of what a ship must deliver commercially. Buyers and sellers benefit from a broker who can assess both the vessel and the business it will support.
