Merle Wood & Associates, Axial Family Advisors and

hosted a private endof-summer soirée aboard 150-foot (45.7-meter) Trinity Claire in Boca Raton, Florida, in August to celebrate Axial Family Advisors’ official launch. In attendance was special guest and three-time NBA champion James Jones, who is also a partner of the new firm.

“James Jones, as a partner with Axial Family Advisors, struck a commonality with $30 billion yacht broker Merle Wood in having that true champion mindset,” said Lonni B. Cibants, partner and family development director at Axial Family Advisors. “We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for Axial Family Advisors’ launch than being hosted by Merle Wood aboard his personal yacht, Claire. Our values seem to align, delivering a high level of service, and having pride in the quality of client experience. It seemed a natural fit to team up with Merle Wood & Associates for this special occasion.”

“I was delighted to host the new Axial Family Advisors team and their distinguished guests on board Claire, as a superyacht is the ultimate platform from which to entertain,” said Wood. “For those looking for the next level of luxury, that brief encounter with the yachting experience might be all it takes for them to approach me or my team for assistance in chartering a yacht or even purchasing one.”
