INTERNET MARKETING
Promoting listings on international
websites, enhanced listings on the major
MLS services, building a content-rich
website, creating an aggressive Google
AdWords campaign, and executing a
consistent search engine optimization plan
are a few of the components of Denison’s
proven internet strategy.
Charles has been involved in boating all his life. As a child he lived and
cruised with his family aboard several yachts ranging in size from 38’ to
112’. In the 1950s, his father built a resort/marina at the mouth of the
Connecticut River on the Long Island Sound called Terra Mar, where
the family spent a great deal of time.
The Blickle family moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1960. Charles’ first
boat was a 13’ Boston Whaler when he was 11. He spent most of his
youth enjoying fast boats, water skiing, and fishing in Fort Lauderdale.
Charles also has enjoyed following powerboat racing all of his life.
In the early 1960s, Charles’ father started a yacht brokerage company
in Fort Lauderdale and then co-founded Bradford Marine in 1966.
Charles worked there, as a teenager, in the stock room and drove the
parts truck. In 1975, Charles started Bradford Coachworks, building
and marketing custom stretch limousines, but he sold the business in
1980 to join his father at Bradford Marine and Bradford Yacht Sales.

He devoted his time to learning the brokerage business from some of
the best in the business, later becoming president of Bradford Yacht
Sales for several years, focusing on both new boat sales and brokerage.
Charles was involved with several new boat lines including Alucraft as
U.S. reps, and Ocean Alexander, Posillipo and Vantare’ Yachts, all as
East Coast reps. In 1990, Bradford Yacht Sales was sold and he stayed
on with the company as a yacht broker.
Since 2005 he has put his yacht brokerage talents and industry
expertise to good use at both Merrill-Stevens Yachts and The Marine
Group and has sold powerboats ranging from small hard-bottom
inflatables to 115’ megayachts. He has traveled to the Mediterranean
for new builds, boat shows and to purchase yachts for clients, and has
inspected new boats while under construction in Asia and the Far East.
As the current world and yacht brokerage business evolved, Charles
decided to join the Denison Yacht Sales family. “Denison has a great
reputation and has some of the best marketing in the business. I
know that my listings will get the best possible exposure in today’s
marketplace,”Charles says. “I enjoy my work as a yacht broker. Over my
34-year career as a broker with great integrity, I have built up a loyal
clientele. I work hard to find each of my clients the right boat for their
particular interests at the best price. I look forward to providing you
the same level of service.”
