MEET Stanley Castro
Stanley J. Castro, born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is a yachting industry
veteran with over 20 years of experience. His career began as a teenager when he
started working as a boat cleaner and later as a salesman at Industrial & Marine
Service, Inc., a boat dealer and brokerage firm his father founded in 1975.
In 1995 he assumed the role of general manager of the firm. He gained diverse
experience in sales and maintenance in the Caribbean marketplace for Sea Ray,
Bertram, Lazzara, Hydra-Sports, Meridian and Scout, among others. This role allowed
him to build strong relationships with all parties and areas of the boating business
including manufacturers, bankers, brokers and consumers.
A billfish sport aficionado, with a great understanding of Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Stanley is an active participant and leader in the Billfish Tournaments
series in the Caribbean, where he has won a number of white and blue marlin honors.
His favorite fishing seasons and locations for fishing are the May-June full moon time
in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic and August-September, known as the “big blues” in
San Juan and the “north drop” zone in St. Thomas.
Aside from his vast experience within the yachting industry, Stanley stands out for
being goal oriented and results driven. There are 3 traits that can best describe his
day-to-day interaction with owners and customers: humbleness, honesty, and hard
work.
Stanley joined the Denison Yachts Sales team in August 2014 when he moved with
his family to Ft. Lauderdale. Aside from working with the local Miami team Stanley
continues to operate the Caribbean business via a strategic partnership with the
Denison Yacht Sales Puerto Rico office.
