The Professionals
Van Draper joins the team as our new owner and yacht broker. After retiring from a successful career as treasurer of a Fortune 500 Company, Van pursued his real passion - BOATING! For several years, he & wife Nancy cruised "Blaze", a Warwick 60' cold molded sloop. They cruised Mexico and Hawaii & ultimately came back to the best cruising in the world - the Pacific Northwest Islands. You will find Van in our offices at Elliott Bay, or enjoying the cruising lifestyle on their new boat, "Islander" (a restored 58' Hatteras). He welcomes anyone to come in & talk about boats & the cruising lifestyle. Email: van@elliottbayyachtsales.com
Paul Jenkins is a Northwest native with a broad background of boating experience, both power and sail. Paul has taught sailing, performed charter checkouts, has commissioned yachts, and managed Windward Mark/Cal Marine, a local marine supply store. As a sixteen year liveaboard, Paul extensively cruised and sailed the Northwest, and has also sailed the West Coast and Mexico. Paul has a strong "sales" background, and as the manager, takes pride in finding creative ways to bring buyers and sellers together. E-mail: paul@elliottbayyachtsales.com
Bruce McPherson, our colorful Kiwi, started building and racing sailboats at the age of 6. After completing a boat building apprenticeship in New Zealand, Bruce spent twenty years as a professional sailor. From Flying 18's in Sydney Harbor to skippering Maxis on the circuit, Bruce has accumulated a vast amount of experience and has many adventurous stories to tell. We are most fortunate that Bruce's wife and two daughters gave him a good reason to throw out an anchor and leave a life at sea to join our sales team. E-mail: bruce@elliottbayyachtsales.com
Mark Klein and his family have lived on Bainbridge Island for 12 years and have absolutely loved all of the boating opportunities in the Northwest. With quite a background of racing and cruising on Lake Ontario and now Puget Sound, Mark is happiest just “being anywhere on the water.”
After a successful career as a Nike sales rep, and 4 years behind him as a yacht broker, Mark is ready to assist you in any way he can to make your boat buying venture a great experience! Email mark@elliottbayyachtsales.com
