John Martini, President

John Martini is an Annapolis native who was introduced to the boating business as a young boy when his father bought a marina in 1971. As soon as he was old enough to work he began painting boat bottoms, eventually filling every boat related position from parts to service to sales. A 25-year marine industry veteran, John worked with Shady Oaks Yacht Sales and Annapolis Yacht Company before launching his own brokerage. John also manages Staten Island Yachts of Maryland, exclusive regional dealer for the exquisite line of Marquis yachts.

Jeff Martini, Broker

Jeff Martini first entered the boat business in 1973, working on the railway at Shady Oaks Marina, painting bottoms and hull sides, and installing teak decking. After a stint working in the Public Works department for Anne Arundel County, he returned in 1983 to the boat business. He worked in the parts and eventually the sales departments at Gates Marina. During this time he also completed his bachelor’s degree in business administration at University of Maryland. He was the General Manager at Gates from 1995 to 2000. Looking to specialize in larger yachts, Jeff took a position as Yacht Broker, and eventually as Sales Manager with The Yacht Center. He worked in their offices in Baltimore, South River and Kent Narrows, attended Meridian Yacht University, receiving certificates in four consecutive years. In March 2009, he made the move to Martini Yacht Sales where he rejoined his brother John. Jeff and John together had helped make Gates Marina a top ten Sea Ray dealership through the eighties and fully expect the same kind of results with Martini Yacht Sales.

Allyson Forker

Born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, Allyson has two daughters who she raised near the water in Deale. While living there she developed a real passion for all things aquatic. She has become an expert Jet Ski pilot and enjoys boating whenever she gets the time.

Allyson entered the work force handling the bookkeeping duties for her family’s service businesses. In 2001, Allyson joined Shady Oaks Yacht Sales on the West River where she assumed the duties of Comptroller and Office Manager. In those capacities, Allyson became familiar with the intricacies of Department of Natural Resources titling work as well as Coast Guard Documentation and Marine Mortgages. With her bubbly personality Allyson also served as Shady Oaks hostess at boat shows and other company functions. The amount of complex paperwork necessary to complete the sale and transfer of a vessel is staggering, and Allyson is one of the very best at getting it done. She did all that while handling all the bookkeeping for the Marina and Sales operations. Allyson is now located at the Bay Bridge Marina where she is ready to assist all of Martini’s customers with anything at all involved with buying a boat.
