His love of boating began at age six in boats and on water skis on Lake Wylie, Lake Norman and the Chesapeake Bay.

Fourteen years later, Tom’s company, Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales, has six licensed Florida Yacht Brokers and brokers in Connecticut and The Keys. Tom has received world-class training from Hewlett Packard and is committed to the highest standard of ethics as a Rotarian.

Brayden Schoch, originally from Kutztown, Pennsylvania, has been visiting Florida's Treasure Coast since 2007 and has now made it his full-time home. Spending summers at the Jersey Shore ignited his passion for the ocean, and his boating journey began at just two years old. He has since navigated vessels ranging from 20-foot bay boats to a 72-foot Viking, cultivating a deep connection to the sea.
Now based in Florida, Brayden is actively working toward obtaining his Captain's License, aiming to turn his lifelong passion into a professional endeavor. When he's not on the water, he enjoys spending time with his family and his adventurous puppy, Blu—his favorite co-captain on boat days. He also enjoys playing hockey in his free time. His days often include fishing, free diving, and cruising to local sandbars, as well as boating trips to the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, and other tropical destinations—fully embracing the coastal lifestyle he loves.
