Lu has lived in the BVI all of his life and has lived aboard boats for most of those years. He has a deep knowledge of the BVI and has worked in the marine industry here for quite a few years in various positions including dive master, salvage diver, and yacht management. Lu’s most recent position was in real estate sales for BVI Sothebys where he sold and assisted in the sales of some of the most luxurious properties around.

Lu missed working in the yachting industry so he decided to use his sales expertise towards selling yachts here in the BVI and throughout the Caribbean.
