MEET DE NISE GEORGE
Growing up on Lake St. Clair in Michigan, Denise has been boating since
she was 12. Starting out on small runabouts and the family cabin cruiser,
she quickly knew this was the life for her. Her first job was in a marina
at the age of 14, and her first business was at 16 when she decided to
start a small wash-down service in the local marinas in and around Gross
Point, Michigan. The small wash-down service quickly grew, as did her
experience and passion for boating.
In the early ‘80s, Denise took one look at Marina del Rey, California
and she was hooked. Soon to follow was a successful full-service yacht
management company, and learning to sail. Sailing took over, and Denise
sold the business to go on an adventure. Her adventures led her to the
Caribbean, where she made her living doing charters and deliveries.
In recent years, Denise has become an active sailboat racer both locally
and internationally as well as the producer and builder of a 24’ club racer
called a Martin 242. Today she is a leader in the boating community of
Marina del Rey and enjoying every bit of her career as a yacht salesperson.
Denise was recognized as the 2010 ASMBYC Yachtsman of the Year.
“Helping people find and live their boating dreams is where I am most
happy,” she says.
