Denison will be exclusively representing Fred Schmitt Monte Carlo Yachts, Austin Parker, Contender Fishing Boats and Pirelli Yacht Tenders in the Great Lakes region. “I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Michigan as a kid,” says Bob Denison, the son of Broward Marine founders Frank and Gertrude Denison of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “It’s an easy place to fall in love with, and a part of our country loaded with yachting tradition.” Denison has appointed two new brokers to operate the Holland office: Fred Schmitt and Jeff Phillips. In addition to the new Holland office, Denison has operations in the following locations: Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg, Florida; Marina Del Rey and Newport Beach, California; and San Carlos, Mexico.
