Boating with Barbie

10/13/2026

After a rainy weekend, a little fun on the water was just what I needed! 😎

Sometimes you just need to leave the workday behind, fire up the engines, turn up the music, and have a little FUN!

A few donuts, jumping some wakes makes for the perfect ending to the day!

Because let’s face it… I’m happiest when I’m behind the helm! ⚓️

Who’s with me? 🙋‍♀️

Rainy Sundays at the Marina!

Mother Nature may have changed my boating plans today, but there’s always something special about spending time down at the docks!

Sunday afternoons are when boaters are coming back in from a weekend on the water, cleaning up their boats, or just hanging around the marina.

And you know what I love about that? The conversations, the friendships, the stories, and the shared love of being on the water!

Sometimes the best part of boating isn’t even leaving the dock!

That’s what the boating community is all about! ⚓️

What’s your favorite part of spending time at the marina?

Just another beautiful day on Norris Lake!

The marina was buzzing today with plenty of boats and people out enjoying the water! I even captured some of the unique floating homes along the lake.

The water levels are definitely dropping, but that didn’t take away from the beauty of this gorgeous East Tennessee lake!

And of course, there’s nothing quite like looking back at that wake while cruising across the water. 🌊

Days like today remind me why I love the boating lifestyle so much!

Who else is still getting out on the water this fall? 🍂⚓️

🧡⚓️ There’s boating… and then there’s boating in East Tennessee on GAME DAY WEEKEND!

I spent the afternoon visiting friends at the Vol Navy, and there’s just something special about seeing the Tennessee River filling up with boats, orange everywhere and everyone getting ready for game day! 🏈🧡

This is one of the things I love most about our boating community — sometimes it’s not about where you’re going, it’s about the people you meet and the memories you make along the way.

Who else has experienced the Vol Navy?

Boating with Barbie is growing in more ways than one!

Many of you have followed along as my love of boating has taken me on an exciting new journey into yacht brokerage with Troyer Yachts.

I recently created a separate page for Barbara McLean | Yacht Broker, where I’ll be sharing boats for sale, behind-the-scenes looks at yacht brokerage, new listings and a little of what happens when I’m out helping clients find their next boat.

Boating with Barbie isn’t going anywhere! ⚓️This page will continue to be about boating, education, confidence on the water and the community we’ve built here.

If you love looking at boats as much as I do—or if buying or selling one might be in your future—I’d love for you to follow me over there too!

Two pages. One serious love of boats. ⚓️🩷

⚓️ Not a Bad Day at the Office…

Spent the day at beautiful Norris Lake previewing a boat for one of my clients, and days like this make me love what I do even more! 🛥️

One of my favorite parts of being a yacht broker is being able to do the legwork for my clients — taking a closer look at potential boats, gathering the information they need, and helping make the search for the right one a little easier.

And when the assignment takes me somewhere like this? Even better. 💕

Beautiful water, a fun marina with shops and restaurants, and boats everywhere… Norris Lake definitely knows how to do lake life. ⚓️

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a boat, I’d love to help you navigate the process.

Thank you to Andrew Troyer and Troyer Yachts for the congratulations and continued support! ⚓️

With 29 years of experience in sales, negotiations and working with clients through major transactions, I bring a lot of experience with me into yacht brokerage — but I also believe there’s always more to learn.

That’s why completing the Yacht Broker Institute was important to me. I wanted the education and industry-specific knowledge to complement the experience I already have and allow me to provide the highest level of service to my clients.

From Tennessee to around the globe I am here to assist you with your boating needs!
