Meet Our Professional Team
The MAHINA YACHTS crew has first hand experience on yachts of all sizes, both sail and power. Many of our listings are just a short walk from our offices.
Dave Carleson, the owner, has over 45 years of racing and offshore sailing under his belt, including many trips across the Columbia Bar. He has owned and operated a sailboat tooling and production company, and has been a part of Mahina for 10 years. Dave is still an active sailor and currently lives aboard a classic wooden motor yacht.
Contact Dave at our Bainbridge office at 206-842-6834
Terry Ellingson has twenty years of sailing experience, both cruising and racing. On his free time, he can be spotted out in Puget Sound on his 38' C & C sloop. He would be happy to be of help to you in finding that right boat for you.
Jack Bateman has been sailing since the age of 15, and he's been on and around boats, the sea and ships most of his life. A merchant seaman for fifteen years, he's been around the world twice on oil tankers, so don't get him started on sea stories. Jack lives on his custom 34' sailboat that he purchased from Mahina Yachts before going to work for us. Mahina Yachts found Jack the boat of his dreams, and now he's eager to help you find yours.
Contact Jack at our Bainbridge Island office, or on his cell at (425)418-5921.
