Austin Cooper

Austin was born and raised in New Bern, North Carolina, where he developed a love for the water at an early age. Growing up, nearly every weekend was spent either on the Trent River or at his family's trailer in Atlantic Beach, and that's where his passion for boats really began.

From a young age, Austin was obsessed with boats. He spent countless hours reading boating forums, sketching different designs, staying up late thinking about them, and talking to anyone who would listen about boats. Not much has changed.

Today, Austin has turned that lifelong passion into a career. As a boat broker, he enjoys helping clients buy and sell boats while sharing the knowledge and enthusiasm he's built over a lifetime on the water.

When he's not working, you'll usually find him surfing, fishing, hunting, or spending time with his wife, daughter, and Australian Shepherd. Whether it's chasing a hurricane swell, fishing with friends or a simple afternoon at the sandbar, Austin believes life is best spent on the water.
