Alex G. Clarke grew up in Darien, Connecticut on the shores of Long Island Sound while spending summers in Marion, MA and Martha’s Vineyard where his love for the ocean began. Endless hours spent fishing with his father on the shores of New England created a bond that he would form into a career based on the water.

After graduating from the University of Miami with a major in International Finance & Marketing, and Oceanography Alex alternated careers between yacht crew and as a financial analyst in Manhattan, finally deciding on a career as a yacht broker – the best of both worlds. Alex traveled extensively as yacht crew from the West coast of Mexico to Turkey, Maine to Venezuela and almost everything in between learning the business from the bottom up. Offshore fishing in the canyons based out of Montauk, NY for tuna, marlin, and shark on the largest sportfish boat in the world for over three years was a dream come true.

Moving ashore to settle down, he started his career in Yacht Management at Fraser Yachts dealing with IMO, ISM, ISPS, class societies, flag states and crew placement issues. Gaining valuable knowledge he transitioned smoothly to the sales division as a yacht broker where he mentored under some of the best in the industry. After gaining sales experience in the mega yacht industry with Fraser, Alex moved over to Bartram & Brakenhoff, a family run business started by his Uncle Joe Bartram, Jr. over 40 years ago where he is proud to continue the tradition of excellence, honesty & integrity.

In his free time Alex enjoys cooking, fishing, coaching lacrosse, and the gym. He has a passion for University of Miami football and anything to do with the beach or ocean.
