Thomas Daly.
Thomas Daly is a Florida real estate broker and a Florida-licensed yacht broker. A native Floridian and offshore boater of fifteen-plus years, he represents private clientele across Palm Beach and Broward counties - the home, the dock, and the vessel under one advisor.
Born to the coast. Built for the deal.
Tom grew up on Florida's east coast - diving its reefs, running its inlets, and learning its waterways long before he ever became a licensed real estate broker. That foundation matters. The neighborhoods, the inland canals, the bridge clearances, the fishing seasons, the difference between a dock that sounds good on paper and a dock that actually works for a serious motor yacht - these aren't talking points. They're context he reads instinctively as both a real estate broker and a yacht broker.
With a background in business, finance, and sales, Tom brings the same precision to a contract timeline that he brings to a sea trial. Buyers find him candid; sellers find him relentless on details. Every transaction is treated as a logistics problem first and a marketing problem second - because the clients he represents have already moved past the marketing.
The Daly Group was founded on a simple observation: in South Florida, the home and the dock are one decision - and almost no one is licensed to represent both. Today the practice is structured exactly that way. As a Florida real estate broker, Tom advises buyers and sellers on what to buy, what to keep, what to refit, and what to walk away from. As a Florida yacht broker, he handles the vessel side of the same conversation - directly, not as a referral. Home, slip, vessel. One advisor.
"I'm one of the few advisors in South Florida who's licensed as both a real estate broker and a yacht broker - and I work both sides directly. Native Floridian, fifteen-plus years offshore, business and finance background. For the clients I represent, the home and the vessel are one decision. I handle the contract, the dock, the sea trial, and the survey personally - not through a referral network. That's the practice."

Four communities. One coastline.
Coverage focuses where the deep-water lifestyle is most concentrated - and where a single advisor can know every dock, every bridge, every yacht-club community by name.
Delray Beach
Tropic Isle. Ninety-foot-frontage canal lots, no fixed bridges, ocean access in minutes. Walking distance to Atlantic Avenue. The Delray Group's home community - and the inventory I know best.
Boca Raton
Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club. Boca Harbour. Estates with 180-220 feet of Intracoastal frontage and dual-dock capacity. Where vessels and homes both upgrade together.
Lighthouse Point
Quiet, deep-water, and the closest passage to Hillsboro Inlet. A boater's town for boater-clients - wide turnaround basins and 100-foot frontages where larger yachts can live comfortably.
Jupiter
Admirals Cove. Gated golf and yacht community with private marina and direct Intracoastal frontage. North Palm Beach County's most considered address for those who keep both a vessel and a tee time.
Walkthroughs at the dock.
