Duane Ritter
Yacht Broker
My passion for boating started at a very young age. I would spend summers on Lake Erie boating with my parents and grandparents. Throughout the years, I have owned boats that ranged from 12 foot to my current Carver 33ss.
I have been in education for 25 years, having the opportunity to teach physical education, health, special education, and in my current position, Dean of Students. My passion for boating and the marine industry has led me to getting my 25-ton near-coastal waters captain’s license.
I have always been interested in boat sales. I have sold my own boats, and the best part of the process was getting to know people, whether they were experienced boaters or first-time boat owners, and sharing my personal experiences with them. Yes, I wanted to sell the boat, but I also wanted them to make sure the boat they were looking at was the right one for them. When the opportunity came up to be a broker with Knot 10 Yacht Sales, I knew the time was right to share my knowledge and passion of boating with others.
