MEET ALEX G. CLARKE
Alex G. Clarke grew up in Darien, Connecticut on the shores of Long Island Sound while
spending his summer months in Martha’s Vineyard & Marion, Massachusetts. With a family
history rich in tradition surrounding the yachting industry & America’s Cup, Alex was soon to
follow. After graduating from the University of Miami (Florida), Alex split time between being
a financial analyst in Fairfield County & working on a number of yachts before dedicating
himself to a full-time career in yachting.
Alex has logged countless nautical miles as yacht crew traveling extensively from Nova
Scotia to South America, Mexico to Turkey while working his way up through the ranks from
deckhand to captain. After moving ashore in South Florida, he applied his knowledge to
a position in yacht management at Fraser Yachts, where he was the company DPA/CSO
handling crew placement issues, IMO/ISPS/ISM & flag state/class society regulations for both
their charter & management fleets before moving over to brokerage yachts.
After learning from some of the most successful yacht brokers in the industry at Fraser, Alex
transferred to Bartram & Brakenhoff, a boutique brokerage house founded in 1967 by his
great uncle & mentor Joe Bartram Jr., which was a dream come true.
Now at Denison Yacht Sales with longtime friend and fellow UM graduate Bob Denison, Alex
has solidified his place in the yacht brokerage industry by being elected the exclusive global
representative for a number of top quality shipyards during his career: Cantiere delle Marche,
Mondo Marine MC, Pirelli, Tecnomar SpA, & Columbus Yachts.
Looking to forward Denison as a major player in the international markets, Alex has played
an important role in helping expand the company by establishing the Denison Yacht Charter
Division, Mexico office, and Superyacht Division within the company with representation
in Hong Kong, Monaco & the South of France. Pushing for growth in the 24m+ megayacht
segment of the market, Alex has created numerous corporate partnerships throughout luxury
markets that will prove to be extremely important as Denison continues its growth in both
international & emerging markets.
