George C. Robinson IV
Yacht Broker & Sales Manager — South Jersey Yacht Sales | Viking Yachts, Valhalla, Albemarle & Solace

George Robinson is a yacht broker and Sales Manager at South Jersey Yacht Sales (SJYS), a family-owned Viking Yachts dealer with locations in Somers Point, Point Pleasant, Egg Harbor Township, and Cape May, New Jersey, plus a Florida operation. George specializes in new Viking Yacht builds from 46 to 90 feet, Valhalla center consoles, new Albemarle and Solace boats, and brokerage sportfishing yachts throughout the Mid-Atlantic. George and his team have closed and delivered Viking 46', 50', 54', 58', 64', 70', 74' and 82' convertibles for clients from New Jersey to Florida. He manages every stage of a new Viking build, from custom option specs and vendor coordination (AME, PBT, Release Marine, and others) through sea trial, delivery, and owner orientation.

Before joining SJYS, George spent eight years in financial services, including time with UBS's New York City banking team overseeing capital lending strategies. That background shapes how he works: clean deal structures, transparent trade valuations, and closings handled the way a bank would handle them. It also makes him a natural resource for yacht financing through SJYS's sister company, Atlantic Horizon Capital, and for owners weighing trade-ins, refinancing, or the economics of stepping up into a larger boat.

George grew up spending summers in Ocean City, New Jersey, working in local marinas and mating on sportfishing boats. He has more than 20 years of offshore fishing experience, from the New Jersey canyons to the Bahamas tournament circuit. When he isn't in the office, he's offshore on the family's 64' Viking Polarizer. That time on the water is what lets him tell a client not just what a boat costs, but how it will actually fish, run, and hold its value.

He is the eldest son of George and Beryl Robinson and represents the next generation of the family business. He attended Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, PA, and earned a degree in Economics from Dickinson College. When the boats are winterized, George and his wife, Alexa, trade the canyons for the mountains. The two are avid skiers who spend as much of the off-season on snow as they can, and they're lifelong Philadelphia sports fans.

Whether you're commissioning a new Viking, selling a well-kept sportfish, or buying your first center console, George's goal is the same as the SJYS mission: to make your time on the water as enjoyable as possible, before, during, and long after the sale.

George

As owner and president  of South Jersey Yacht Sales since 2017, George Robinson is extremely proud to represent New Jersey and the surrounding regions as a dealer for Albemarle, Invincible, Jupiter Marine, Yellowfin Yachts and Viking Yachts and most recently by expanding their brand portfolio to include Valhalla Boatworks.  These renowned brands represent the highest quality, innovative, leading edge sportfishing vessels available on the market today and are found in the winner’s circle time and time again at the largest, most prestigious billfish tournaments in the world and are also a familiar sight to recreational fisherman in the northeast and beyond.   As an avid third generation angler and boater for well over 40 years, George brings to the marine industry a passion and desire to make your next purchase an enjoyable experience and is also eager to share his insights on boats, fishing and destinations. 

George is married to his wonderful wife Beryl who was born and raised in Ocean City, New Jersey.  Their relationship ironically began on the water as Beryl would patiently wait dockside while George cleaned the boat and rigged baits for the next day of offshore fishing.  The Robinson’s have three sons who are very accomplished in their own right.  Their oldest, George, and youngest, Greg, share the same passion for offshore marlin fishing and boating, while their middle son, Grant, loves the travel and destinations the family visits aboard Polarizer, the 62’ Viking Convertible which is also the South Jersey Yacht Sales demo vessel.
