Keith McVeigh / Yacht Broker
With decades of hands-on experience—from manufacturing catamarans to sailing and selling them—Keith brings unmatched expertise and passion to every yacht sale. After six successful years with Leopard Catamarans, Keith joined Denison Yachting as the in-house catamaran expert before moving to Catamaran Guru. Now, he brings his wealth of experience to buyers and sellers in charter, new build, and brokerage catamaran sales, ensuring each client finds the perfect vessel for their needs. Email: keith.mcveigh@catamaranguru.
Keith’s lifelong love for the ocean began in his early years in Durban, South Africa, where he developed a deep connection to the sea and sailing. Even after his family moved inland, his passion for boats never wavered.
From 2004 to 2009, Keith owned and operated a successful catamaran manufacturing business in Durban, building high-quality vessels before the global recession led to its closure. His firsthand experience as a boat builder, combined with owning both a 30-foot sailing catamaran and a 42-foot power catamaran, gives him a unique perspective that sets him apart in the yacht brokerage industry.
In 2017, Keith transitioned into yacht sales with Leopard Catamarans, quickly proving his expertise and earning multiple “Global Salesman of the Year” awards. His in-depth knowledge of catamarans, from design to performance, made him a trusted resource for clients worldwide.
Beyond sales, Keith and his family have extensively chartered catamarans in the Bahamas, USVI, and BVI, further enriching his understanding of the lifestyle and practical needs of yacht owners.
Testimonial
Hi Keith.
You likely won’t remember us, but we remember you. We met you at the leopard exhibit at the 2022 Miami boat show. You were only the second Keith that I knew, and the other was Keith Richards. I didn’t test out your singing ability, but you both have great accents. 🙂
We were seriously contemplating ordering one of the last remaining slots that you had available for the Leopard 45. After talking to you, we went back to Catamaran Guru and met with Terry Singh, who I understand is no longer with them, and made a deal on a pocket listing that he had for a lagoon 450 F owners version. Later that night we ran into you at a pizza place, and you told us not to look back, that we made a great decision and got a great deal. Your professionalism really stood out and stuck with us. We wish you great success with Catamaran Guru!
We’ve been full-time live aboards on the L450 F for the last almost 3 years, and love it. We have numerous friends on Leopard 45s, and also love theirs. I don’t think we could’ve gone wrong with either. We’re currently in the Bahamas and decided last minute to fly to Miami for the boat show later this week. Let us know if you will be at the Catamaran Guru tent so that we can say hello. If Catamaran Guru happens to have any tickets still available, we would love to have a pair.
Congratulations again on the new job. I’m sure we will see them singing your praises regularly in their newsletter!
