Charles Giambalvo
Captain Charles began boating in Long Island, New York when he was 16 years old. He and his wife, Captain Karen, lived aboard yachts for 11 years. They have also sold and implemented hundreds of private yacht charters as brokers, yacht owners and crew. Charles is a trained Electrical Engineer and did 100% of maintenance on his own yacht himself. He has taught Marine Electrical Systems, Boat Handling, Seamanship, Communications and Engine Maintenance for the U.S. Power Squadrons. His clients rely on him as a “trusted advisor” in selecting the best yacht to fit their needs, along with how to pilot and maintain it. Many of his clients benefit from Charles sharing his knowledge of entering the charter business, which further justifies their yacht purchases.
