Larry Kaplan
I grew up in Monmouth County, NJ, and have spent over 40 years on the water. After graduating from Syracuse University, I spent 25 years on Wall Street, managing a hedge fund, raising capital, and assisting companies in going public. My passion for boating started in 1983 when a family friend took us out on their boat, and from that moment, I was hooked. My parents soon bought our first boat, a Sea Ray 26 Sundancer, and over the years, we upgraded to a 55′ sportfish. In the early 2000s, I began buying my own boats, ranging from a 13′ tender to a Hatteras 60 Convertible.
In 2011, I decided to turn my love for boating into a career, helping clients purchase their first or next boat. With my personal experience as a boat owner, I understand the importance of both the sale and the service that follows. My favorite part of each season is hearing about the memories my clients create on their boats. I currently live in Ocean, NJ, with my wife, son, daughter, and our Bernese Mountain Doodle, Bailey. When I’m not at home, you can usually find me Captaining a 70′ Sportfish or assisting clients on the water.
