Carl-Hansen

Growing up in Cleveland Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie, and spending summers in Long Island New York started the passion for boats and boating in general. Beginning with all kinds of watersports activities and some fishing then graduating to high performance boating, a little racing and cruising, diving and snorkeling, even building and restoring boats plus lots of towing for over 40 years has provided a well rounded education and lots of experience to draw from.

Moving to the beautiful Florida Keys, 16 years ago, really intensified the passion because now boating became a 365 day a year possibility. Once here I began my career selling boats and obtaining my brokers license. Another passion I have is improving and customizing existing designs and during the last 10 years I have worked closely, both directly and indirectly, with some of the biggest names in the boating industry. High end luxury brands like Hydra-Sports, Deep Impact, Statement, Nor-Tech, Blackwater and many others have used my feedback, changes and designs to improve their products. This well rounded experience allows me to offer you, the customer, a unique perspective on your boat purchase. We can talk construction, how a boat will ride, and functionality without the usual “sales pitch”. My role becomes more of a buyer assistant to put you into the exact boat that fits how you will use it.
