My Economy” tells the story of the new economic normal through the eyes of people trying to make it, because we know the only numbers that really matter are the ones in your economy.

In economic measures, the ocean gets a lot of attention for its role in shipping and trade. For some though, the ocean is still a place for business, but in a much less macro context. In particular, in 2022, the global yacht market was valued at $8.91 billion.

Emily Greenberg is a broker for Sunshine Cruising Yachts. She works on the East Coast, frequently from Long Island, New York, and Oriental, North Carolina. She joined Marketplace to share how she got her start in the industry and how she found her place on the sea.
