Robbie LaGuardia joins the Italian Yacht Group with nearly a decade of experience as a Naval Officer and a New York-based yacht broker.
Raised between Martha’s Vineyard and the Outer Banks, Robbie developed a deep passion for boating and life on the water from an early age. He attended the United States Naval Academy, where he served as a skipper on the Offshore Sailing Team, competing in collegiate regattas and offshore races along the East Coast. As part of his experience, Robbie commanded a Navy racing sailboat in the prestigious Marion to Bermuda Race—navigating 645 nautical miles using only celestial navigation.
Upon graduation, Robbie was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer and deployed aboard a guided missile cruiser and destroyer in the Middle East and South China Sea. During his service, he logged over 1,000 hours as Officer of the Deck, honing his seamanship and leadership skills in complex maritime environments.
Now, as a yacht broker with the Italian Yacht Group, Robbie draws on his extensive maritime experience to guide both new and seasoned clients in their yachting journeys—sharing his deep appreciation for the sea and commitment to excellence in every transaction.
