Welcome to Windworks Yacht Sales! I was introduced to the world of boating in 1997, when I experienced the Sea of Cortez Cup in La Paz, Mexico with the prior owners of Windworks! That trip changed my life, and because of it, I became the owner of Windworks in 2013.
I’m very honored having US Sailing and Powerboat certifications available at beautiful Shilshole (Seattle) and Cap Sante Marinas (Anacortes). Thank you to our wonderful office and dock staff for the opportunity to serve the Pacific Northwest Sailing and Powerboat community.

Vice President, Certified US Sailing & Powerboating Instructor
A Washington native since birth and grew up around boats. I’ve been helping clients get out on the water since 2012. Over this time I’ve developed a deep knowledge of the market as well as yacht handling systems. I use this experience to connect clients with the right vessel.
I love to share what I have learned and enjoy devoting substantial time teaching new-to-yachting as well as experienced clients how to master their vessels. You’ll frequently find me on the docks with clients or out on the water ensuring our fleet of yachts are at peak performance.
Looking forward to sailing with you soon.

Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest I naturally gravitated toward everything outdoors, and you’ll find me sailing several times a week or even crossing international boundaries to deliver boats for clients. My passion for boating has taken me to national boat shows, manufacturer floors, and meeting yacht designers such as Gerry Douglas of Catalina Yachts.
Whether you are buying or selling, my focus is to make the perfect match between boat and buyer and to get you out on the water.
Meet our service team leads
Aaron Holmes
Fleet Manager
I’m an Oregon native and I love everything the PNW has to offer for us boating-inclined. I’ve been managing the Windworks fleet of power- and sail-boats for many years and have experience with everything from engine overhauls to replacing the rigging on a sailing yacht.
I oversee all new-yacht commissioning and frequently support our clients long after they’ve purchased their yacht to advise on where to get the best service, repairs, and modifications. I enjoy teaching our clients how complex yacht systems work as well as any eccentricities of their particular yacht. If you need any yacht systems assistance, I’m your guy!
Julia Christie
Club Manager
I’ve been greeting and assisting our customers and clients at the Shilshole Marina office since 2017. I graduated from Montana State University with a focus in sales and marketing, and I love the water view I have from my desk.
I work hard to make sure that our clients feel welcomed and are being served by the Windworks team. Give me a call and I’ll make sure that you are welcomed and are connected to our amazing team of yacht experts!
