Neil Lorensen Joins Curtis Stokes & Associates
Neil Lorensen Joins as Sales Associate 
Fort Lauderdale, Florida- Curtis Stokes & Associates has recently appointed Neil Lorensen as a new sales associate who will be responsible for marketing and selling yachts from Vero Beach to Palm Beach, FL. Neil is a lifelong boater having owned and maintained sailboats and powerboats and currently lives aboard a Lancer LRC 45-foot trawler in Ft. Pierce which will also be his yacht brokerage base.
Neil grew up on the water in Weekapaug, RI, and was actively boating by age five and winning swimming awards at age 13, including the Young American Medal for Bravery from President Eisenhower for saving two individuals in heavy surf. Neil’s experience in recreational boating took a professional turn when he volunteered for the Vietnam War and spent four years as a submarine sonar technician and ship’s diver. After a successful tour in the Navy, Neil earned a degree in philosophy from Ohio State University and followed his passion for working on the water to the Caribbean. He spent two years in the Virgin Islands as General Manager of two hotels while sailing a 30-foot Pearson as often as possible. Returning to New England, Neil worked for the state of Rhode Island for five years as a marine game warden and diver. He then took his career back into the hospitality industry but engaged his entrepreneurial spirit and spent the next 20 years as owner and operator of Lorensen Produce distributing products to hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores. Throughout his professional life, Neil remained involved with interests such as paddle tennis, skiing, cooking, swimming, and of course boating with the ultimate goal to sail to warm climates. He made the official move south when he decided to sail his 48-foot Stevens Ocean Racer to Florida single handedly. After six months of navigating south and choosing to live aboard in Florida, Neil made the move from sail to power in favor of his Lancer trawler with a more Florida-friendly draft. Though he is now Florida-based and has cruised both power and sailboats all along the East Coast, through all of the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Asia and beyond, Neil’s favorite destination will always be Block Island. As a resident of Florida, Neil became involved in the yacht brokerage industry out of his interest in boats and was drawn to Curtis Stokes & Associates because of the company’s honest, personal, and professional way of doing business. “Neil’s familiarity with the Florida coast and the level of yachting activity in the area made it an ideal fit to have him concentrate on the Vero Beach to Palm Beach market. We look forward to having someone who is both local and an active boater manage this region,” says Curtis Stokes President of Curtis Stokes & Associates.
