About

Signature

Yachts

As an award-winning dealership and brokerage today, Signature Yachts continues and builds on an outstanding reputation begun with its founding in1989 as a yacht importer. In the decades since, adjusting sails to meet shifting winds, it has evolved into the premier Northwest seller of Beneteau sailing yachts and Fountaine Pajot catamarans and a leading broker of pre-owned sailing and power yachts.

Words of its founder still provide guidance and inspiration:
“We don’t sell boats,” said Robbie Robinson. “We help people buy them and then we back them with the best service in the business. The basis upon which we do this is called QSIV—Quality, Service, Integrity and Value. It is the basis of our history. It is also the foundation of our future.”

That future now lies in the hands of co-owners Tori Parrott and Dixie McCullough, who have successfully led Signature through challenging times since Robbie’s passing in 2019. In addition to their literal oceans of sailing experience and business acumen, they know their success depends on acquiring and keeping a strong team.

You also can count on us regularly for a friendly, enjoyable experience, not to mention large measures of fun at our annual get-togethers and legendary rendezvous.

Here’s who you will meet at Signature Yachts when you come in:

President/Owner

Tori joined Signature Yachts in 2002 following a 2 ½ year sailing trip in New Zealand and the South Pacific on “Sea Fever”, a 1956 Ben Seaborn 51’ custom sloop built on Lake Union. At the time, she thought she would give selling boats a try for a couple of years, and now, 20+ years later, she is at the helm of Signature Yachts following the passing of Robbie Robinson who was a dear friend and mentor.

Sailing and boating have always been an important part of Tori’s life, beginning early in the Puget Sound area and offshore. She grew up aboard a Hallberg Rassy 41 that her family sailed for 2 years from Seattle to the Caribbean in the late 70s. Her father was an airline pilot, and the benefit of his job was travel and the ability to live anywhere in the world, including on a boat! As a result, she lived an adventurous life (was spoiled rotten) and grew up in Portugal for 5 years, sailed from Seattle to the Caribbean for 2 years and attended English boarding school. She came back to the US for college and studied Geography Dartmouth College where she also pursued her athletic dreams playing both Field Hockey and Lacrosse.

For the last 30+ years, she sailed the Northwest on “Sea Fever” a wooden sloop built right here on Lake Union. After sailing her throughout our beautiful local waters for five years, the prospect of more offshore adventure inspired her to outfit the boat and set off for New Zealand & the South Pacific for the America’s Cup in New Zealand and the Millennium! She has lots of stories to tell! Tori continues to sail here throughout the Northwest & BC exploring and sharing experiences with others. She sold “Sea Fever”, after 24 years of ownership and ventured over to the “fiberglass side”. She decided to sail what we sell - “Papagaio” a beautiful Beneteau 473.

Customer Reviews

Signature Yachts Wonderful to Work With

My wife and I ordered a Beneteau 51.1 a year ago from Signature Yachts in Seattle. We, of course, were caught in the middle of the “supply chain tango” and our boat finally arrived last November. The entire team at Signature Yachts has been wonderful to work with. Our salesman, Trevor MacLachlan is as knowledgeable a boater as you will ever hope to find and has provided us with excellent service during and after the sale.

The entire team at Signature actually works like one, if we have a question or problem anyone in the office jumps in to answer our questions or solve our problems. Scott, Andy, Brandon, Cesar and Tori as well as Dixie and Jodi are always accommodating and willing to answer my dumbest question! At our age this will probably be the last boat we buy, but things can change and if they do, I would never consider using anyone other than Signature.

Tori at Signature Yachts – My Favorite

I have met with dozens of brokers over the years, here and in different cities, and Tori at Signature Yachts has been my favorite. She is probably the most genuine and knowledgeable person I’ve worked with, and I can’t recommend her enough. 
 
Too many brokers seem to care only about the dollars, but this group puts people first. I’ll reach out to them first every time.

A lifelong dream for us to become a reality

I am so thankful for the three of you for helping to make a lifelong dream for us to become a reality, and on my 65th birthday no less.

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate you all, and hope that 2022 is a wonderful year of excitement and adventure.

We highly recommend Tori and SY!

We recently purchased a 2006 Beneteau Oceanis 473 through Signature Yachts. We had been ready to buy “the right boat” for some time. And had spoken with (or attempted to speak with) many others. The entire team at SY distinguished itself by being professional and helpful. We are very excited about our “new” boat, and our broker, Tori Parrot, was excited with us! Additionally, she brought a level of knowledge, follow through, and integrity that was unmatched. We highly recommend Tori and SY!
