Tom Mowbray

Tom is a lifelong and passionate boating enthusiast who grew up racing dinghies in Southern Africa and
continued racing offshore after moving to Portsmouth, UK where he served as an engineer in the British
Merchant Navy before graduating with a degree in Industrial Engineering. He carried out sailboat
deliveries around the UK and in the Mediterranean in his spare time. Currently a US Coast Guard
Captain, he continues to deliver boats and cruise fairly extensively in US and international waters.
Toms Engineering career brought him to the Mid-Western United States where he was responsible for
building systems and technology for Hyatt Hotels. He continued to race sailboats in the Great Lakes,
completing several Chicago - Mackinaw Island races and running a boat charter business. After that, he
arrived in the Bay Area, heading up customer service, sales and business development for several Tech
Start-Ups, successfully deploying solutions nationwide, cruising racing and chartering boats whenever
possible.
Tom transitioned into the brokerage business after taking some time off to sail and finding that his
experience offshore and passion for the sea was a great fit when helping individuals search for the right
boat to fulfil their dreams, whether they were planning their next big adventure or simply wanting to
cruise in the Bay.
