Growing up in Massachusetts, I spent my summers boating around the Cape and Islands, which fostered a lifelong passion for the boating lifestyle. This led me to attend Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I then spent over 20 years in the merchant marine, working my way up to Captain on various ships. My personal boating experience includes a wide range of vessels, from small runabouts and center consoles to express cruisers, sport fishers, and yachts over 80 feet.

After transitioning to a shoreside career, I decided to leverage my extensive boating background, my passion for being on the water, and my professional experience to help both buyers and sellers navigate the boat buying and selling process. I believe that trust, clear communication, and attention to detail are crucial for a seamless and enjoyable experience. It’s important to me to take the time to listen and truly understand your needs to help you find the right boat or the right buyer.

Meet Alex – Your Trusted Partner on the Water

Alex’s love for boating began in 1996 with a deeply personal moment: taking his newborn son, Kyle, out on the water for the very first time. From that day forward, boating became more than just a hobby—it became a way of life. Cruising the Occoquan, Potomac and Chesapeake Bay with his wife and two children, Alex discovered not only the freedom of the water, but also the warmth of a close-knit boating community that became extended family. After a successful career as both an IT entrepreneur and U.S. Government Civil Servant for Homeland Security, Alex followed his passion south, relocating to Florida in 2018 to embrace the full spectrum of boating life that include saltwater fishing, diving, spearfishing and docking at the vibrant waterfront restaurants that define South Florida’s unique boating culture.

After helping friends and fellow boaters navigate their boat-buying journeys, Alex noticed a common gap in the industry: a lack of true customer focus. Seeing the opportunity to bring a higher level of service and care, he joined Knot 10 Yacht Sales to help both first-time and seasoned boaters find their ideal vessel with confidence. His firsthand boating experience along the East Coast—from the DC metro area down to South Florida—Alex offers local insight, honest guidance, and a dedication to matching clients with the right boat the first time. His mission? To help you live your best boating life, stress-free and fully equipped for new adventures.
