NEWPORT BEACH—Fraser Yachts announced founder David Fraser died peacefully at his Newport Beach home on Jan. 6. He was 99.
“A passionate yachtsman with a vision, a drive and a set of principles
We were fortunate here in Southern California to call David Fraser one of our own. He was the consummate gentleman, and an icon in the yacht sales community. David stayed engaged with the brokerage community long after many his age had moved on, and it was an inspiration to many of us to see David at a boat show or a brokers event – smiling, laughing and telling stories. Oh how I hate to see stalwarts like David pass, but he leaves a wonderful legacy and he truly enjoyed a life well lived!
Fair skies and smooth seas, David.
