Latitude Welcomes Hailey Hock onboard as a Yacht Broker & Charter Agent

Hailey Hock discovered Latitude during the summer of 2018.  As an intern, she assisted in the development of Latitude’s Yacht Charter Division. While interning, Hailey joined brokers Ryan and Matt at the Newport Charter Show, peaking a new career interest in Yacht Charter and Brokerage.

Hailey has spent nearly all her summers growing up in Charlestown, Rhode Island.  Whether spending time on her family’s boat or working on various boats within her Rhode Island area, she has always been on the water. Most notably, Hailey pitched in five summers on the esteemed motor vessel, Aphrodite, working as a stewardess and a deckhand in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Hailey graduated from Ithaca College in May of 2019, earning her Bachelor’s degree in Communications Management and Design, with a focus in Marketing.  Shortly after graduating, she began a fulltime position as a Lead Deckhand on a 146’ Feadship that traveled the Caribbean.  After a year of traveling, Hailey decided to return home to be closer with her family and pursue a career as a Yacht & Charter Broker at Latitude Yacht Brokerage.

As the newest addition to the Latitude team, Hailey hopes to bring forth the knowledge she has gained during her travels throughout New England, Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean and put it into valuable action. Hailey is excited to begin a career within this ever-changing and expanding industry. To contact Hailey, call her at 860-309-5800 or email her at: hailey@latitudeyacht.com
