Biography

Mike Stafford
Bahamas Yacht Broker

Grand Bahama Island-native Mike Stafford's background is as diverse as the vessels for sale he offers at Bradford Marine Bahamas Brokerage. although, there is one common denominator - the sea.  From working in the fishing industry as a teenager, he graduated to become a commercial diver in the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico before returning to the Bahamas with his own boat rental business.  Mike then went into the recreational scuba diving industry where he is credited as being one of the pioneers of the Bahamas shark-feeding dives.  That fame caused him to be recruited to manage dive operations and resorts in the Cayman Islands, Curacao, and Bonaire.  In 2002, Mike returned home to Grand Bahama Island as manager of a timeshare resort and marina where he was instrumental in the recovery process after the island was devastated by hurricanes in 2004 and 2005.  He joined the Bradford Marine Family of Companies in December 2006, and he uses his vast experience in the Bahamas and Caribbean marine industry to offer a variety of vessels to clients worldwide - sailboats to mail boats, and everything in between.

Mike is also very active on Grand Bahama Island and gives back to the community through his involvement in the Rotary Club of Freeport where he was President for two years - 2005-2007.
