I have been sailing on the Chesapeake Bay as long as I can remember. Growing up, trips to Havre de Grace, MD were the norm. Most of my memories are on my parents Sabre 28, now I am making memories with my own family aboard out Beneteau 50, Sol Searcher. In a previous life, I started a company doing validation work in the pharmaceautical/biotech/medical device world. Primarily servicing the need of these companies to comply with FDA regulations. Essentially creating the testing protocols and documentation to verify facilites/equipment, processes, cleaning, and computer systems could produce the desired product. That sounds sexier than it is, but I didn’t want to just skip over 15 years of my life. Chasing clients, dealing with employees, shareholder disagreements…it seized to be fine, I moved on. Starting small, sunfish, el toro, hobie cats, I never did take a sailing class. I learned everything early on from my dad. I never remember a contractor coming to our home or working on the boat. My dad fixed everything. Those hobie cats were other peoples yard pediments. One had a hole in the side and clearly would not float. Learning fiberglass is a necessity if you are young and broke. Precision 23, Grady White 25, I don’t discriminate power boats are fun too. As I got older, the boats become more complex, more electronics bigger engines. Sabre 38mkII, my dream boat. I loved this boat. New sails, full electronic installation, pull and rebuild engine, I even taught myself how to sew canvas. I would sail her up and down the east coast twice. So what? So I did this all through my own love of sailing, being on the water. Along the way I got a 50ton master license, I’ve taken both ABYC and NMEA courses. Sailed with a very competitive J/109 team, and I can say I learned a lot with them. I take charters on my own boat as well as others, do deliveries on the east coast, and work with owners honing their skills. And yes, the boat is even more complicated maintaining generators, bow thrusters, air conditioning systems, AIS…. I love people, and I work well with people to shorten the time between now and attaining their dream. Mitigating mistakes and downtime along the way is key to getting there, where ever there may be.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my bio. My name is Brian A. Knowles. I grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. I left NYC in 2018 realizing that I needed to go somewhere that one man could make a difference. Monetta, SC is where I landed. I come from a modest working class family. A family that struggled financially. Often we found ourselves up against my younger sibling’s suffering from autism which taught me the ugliness of ignorance at a young age. I earn a living as Merchant Mariner currently Captain of the luxury sports fishing yacht “Croupier” fishing out of Charleston,SC. Along with being a Captain I specialize technically in repairing emergency power systems. My highest valued skills are being a caring father of two, loving husband, friend and all around trouble shooter. I enjoy seeking myself in service to others. A virtue I taught myself during my phase of recovery from severe alcoholism stemming from denial of my brother’s condition. Always having longed to serve my country I found the opportunity at success in this while keeping my core American values by becoming a volunteer firefighter 2 years now. Striving to emulate the men that where made of steel when the boats were made of wood. I’ve become closer to God in my day to day life. Throwing 100% of myself at the situations I come across has gotten me through. Acts of faith and manifestation “God will move the mountain when you pick up the shovel”. Chasing my American dream has not been an endeavor based around wealth. It has been based around community, self reliance and love. It is my sincere hope that I can make a positive impact in the lives of all those that I come in contact with. I hope I have success with that goal here. My Hobbys when I have the capital to fund them are: Motorcycles, reptiles, pit-bulls, guns, volunteering, acting, shooting, cars, ATV riding, hunting, gardening, fishing and film making. If you have a question for me I will go above and beyond to find the answer that will guide you best. I have a vast network at my disposal. If I can’t answer a question. I’ll utilize my trouble shooting skills to the fullest extent to acquire for you the best answer you require to succeed. Proving to you that treating every individual I come across with dignity and respect in an urgent, caring way is my common practice. Thanks again for reading I hope to hear from you. Brian
