Peter Ouellette

Born and raised in the small town of Caribou, at the tip-top of northern Maine, Aroostook County—“The County,” as we call it—was home for my first 18 years. My first job came at the age of eight, picking potatoes for local farmers during harvest season.

At 18, I packed my bags, left home, and settled in Portland, Maine. My career began shortly thereafter with a local startup beverage company, Fresh Samantha. That opportunity allowed me to work in several areas of sales and opened the door to living and working in great cities including Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.

In the fall of 2001, while living in Maryland, I was introduced to Chris DiMillo. We clicked, and Chris hired me as his first yacht broker. Almost three decades later, I continue to enjoy every aspect of the business. My goal with every client is simple: to exceed expectations and make the buying or selling process as enjoyable and successful as possible. My passion for the business shows through in every transaction, and over the years I have been fortunate to receive several sales achievement awards from the boat manufacturers we represent.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending the summer on the water with my family, buzzing around Casco Bay in our 1987 Mako 21B. We’re also crazy Red Sox fans—the game is usually on at our house.

In the winter, you’ll most likely find me back in northern and western Maine, exploring the North Maine Woods, winter camping, and riding my snowmobile. Although I grew up nearly 300 miles from the ocean, I’ve developed a deep appreciation and love for what the water and boating have to offer.

It has been a wonderful career, and one of the things I appreciate most is the opportunity to meet so many interesting and genuinely great people. Many of my clients have become friends over the years, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have built a career doing something I truly enjoy.

Peter joined DiMillo’s in 2001.
