About Us


Your Lake Erie Boat Expert
Hi, I'm Clayton Weber, owner of Northern Boat Brokerage. Boating has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From early fishing trips on Lake Erie to building a full career in the marine industry, I've seen firsthand how boats aren't just things we own — they're tied to some of our best memories, milestones, and moments of peace.
That's why I built Northern Boat Brokerage — to help boat owners navigate the selling process with trust, transparency, and zero pressure. We don't just sell boats. We build relationships, meet people where they're at, and make sure each client feels heard, understood, and cared for.
Our Story

Our Approach
We believe in doing business the right way — with integrity, empathy, and a local-first mindset. Whether you're selling during a high point or going through a tough life chapter, we're here to help you move forward with confidence.
