Welcome Karl Olsen to Latitude Yacht!

Karl Olsen’s obsession with boats is rooted in his 50 years of experience on salt water. When he was a boy growing up on the Connecticut shore, there was just one choice in how to spend weekends and summers: on a boat—or not. His earliest nautical experience included racing sailing dinghies and tooling around in small outboard skiffs on Long Island Sound. Since then, family cruises have taken him from Virginia up to the northern reaches of Maine.

“I began messing about in boats at the ripe old age of 4 and by now I’ve owned and/or operated 13 different boats, sail and power, so I’m pretty knowledgeable with all, or anyway most, types of boat-building and nautical systems.”

Prior to being a Yacht Broker, Karl had a career as an executive with leadership roles in some of the largest life and health insurance providers in the US. “I am delighted now to be able to do something I really love—and I look forward to working with our clients on things we’re all passionate about.”

Karl resides in Connecticut with his wife Paula and will work out of Westbrook, CT

At Latitude Yacht, we are committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Karl Olsen’s addition to our team is a significant step towards achieving our goals. We believe that his insights and leadership will play a crucial role in driving our growth and enhancing the overall experience for our clients. We invite you to join us in welcoming Karl to the Latitude Yacht family. We are excited about the future and look forward to the positive impact he will have on our team and our clients. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand our services and offerings in the yachting industry.
