I have been out on boats since I was three years old. It has been a passion of mine ever since I was little, and knew I wanted to sell boats and help put buyers into their dream boat and sellers in their next boat.

Porter grew up in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, where his family always had boats. He discovered his passion for the water and the boating lifestyle at a young age. With over 15 years of experience in the boating industry, Porter’s career has taken him through various trades, from the auto industry to masonry. However, he has always been drawn back to being on the water and working with boats, where his true passion lies. Two years ago, Porter and his wife relocated to South Carolina, where he now works at Dataw Island Marina. In his spare time, Porter enjoys fishing on the water, has developed a newfound passion for golf, and cherishes moments spent with his wife and friends.

With a wealth of experience on the water and in the real estate industry, I’m thrilled to join the Knot10 yacht sales team. For over a decade, I’ve honed my skills owning a real estate brokerage, navigating the complexities of property transactions and fostering lasting relationships with clients. My passion for boating goes beyond recreation; it’s a way of life. Over the years, I’ve accumulated invaluable knowledge and expertise in operating and maintaining boats, making me an ideal guide for discerning boat buyers. Now, as a dedicated member of the Knot10 family, I’m excited to leverage my expertise to assist clients in finding their dream yachts and embarking on unforgettable adventures on the open water.

Tom Leiper has been an entrepreneur, inventor, and pioneering sales master with over forty years of experience primarily in the medical imaging and informatics industry. Even before driving age he apprenticed building and blueprinting high-performance race engines and drive trains, foundational knowledge and experience that served him well years later as a pilot and boat owner.

Awarded eight patents, including a patent for the Sherlock® Marine Surveyor Percussion Sounding Hammer, and having been involved in many interesting technical fields over the years there is little he does not understand about how things work.

More importantly, having closed over 200 deals in the past six years he knows what to do when things do not work, whether those be difficulties with a vessel, a deal, or those involved in the deal.

In short, Tom is a problem solver, and as one whose success has been marked by exquisitely satisfying the needs of his customers, Tom has brought his experience and innovative skill set to this avocation, helping boaters become better boaters with better boats, with the same dedication as he has with every other endeavor, the most common feedback among his many clients and associates being that he is “Unlike any other boat broker they have ever known.”
