Rob Hopkins

Yacht Broker at Maple Leaf Yacht Sales in Midland, Ontario. Serving buyers and sellers across Georgian Bay, Lake Simcoe and the Great Lakes with honest advice, market knowledge, and a hands-on understanding of boats built over 17+ years in the industry.

My family began boating on Lake Simcoe in the 80s and settled on Georgian Bay by the early 90s. In 2008, I started at Bay Port Marina on the service and electronics side before moving into sales. I've since worked across several brokerages in the region — including one I built myself. That hands-on technical foundation shapes everything I do today.

The result: informed buyers, stronger offers, and smoother closings.
