Born in Canada and now based in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Glen has spent more than 30 years helping owners, charter guests, and sailors navigate every aspect of yacht ownership. His extensive experience in charter yacht operations, vessel management, refits, and outfitting has given him deep technical knowledge across a wide range of sailing and power vessels.
Having worked extensively with leading catamaran brands including Bali, Lagoon, Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Voyage, and Sunreef, Glen understands the unique strengths and cruising capabilities of each model. His hands-on experience allows him to match clients with the right yacht for their cruising plans, lifestyle goals, and ownership objectives.
Prior to becoming a yacht broker, Glen built a successful career in luxury hospitality management, developing a reputation for exceptional client service, operational excellence, and attention to detail. Combined with thousands of offshore miles under sail and a circumnavigation aboard his own yacht, these experiences give him a unique perspective on both yacht ownership and life on the water.
Today, Glen helps buyers and sellers make informed decisions with confidence, combining technical expertise, real-world cruising experience, and trusted guidance throughout the ownership journey. Based in the U.S. Virgin Islands, he serves clients throughout the Caribbean and beyond as part of the Catamaran Gurus team.
