Edwin B. Athearn started Athearn Marine Agency in 1946
using a spare backroom in his home for an office in Woods Hole, MA. Bill Daniels, who grew up on Cape Cod
and fished from Provincetown and Chatham joined Athearn
in the late sixties after a fishing related injury kept
him ashore.
Nelson Long, a former banker, had opened an office in New Bedford in 1976 that specialized in arranging financing for the fishing industry. As the industry became more complex, financial expertise became a necessary part of the buying and selling of vessels.
The three men joined forces in 1978 with Long and Daniels taking over the business from Athearn in 1978.
Recently the company was purchased by the TriNav Group with Nelson Long and Bill Daniels continuing to work full-time with the company.
John Moran who has recently joined Athearn Marine comes to us with 16 years of business marketing and management experience and is the son of a commercial fisherman.
The business has always specialized in the sale of commercial fishing vessels and related services and in recent years those services have been expanded to include the transfer of state and federal fisheries permits.
The Athearn office is now located at Union Wharf in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, USA.
Athearn Marine Agency is a business that was built on providing personal and professional brokerage services to the fishing industry. The company is committed to continuing that reliable service.
