Glen Appelbaum - Yacht Broker - One Water Yacht Group - Charleston - Safe Harbor Charleston City Marina

Glen Appelbaum

Yacht Broker

Glen hails from South Africa, where he began his professional career with Merrill Lynch in Johannesburg. With a growing interest in boating, he took a five-week sailing course in 1995 and soon after completed a 600-mile round-trip race—an experience that sparked a lifelong passion for sailing. In 1996, he purchased a boat in Cape Town and embarked on a transatlantic crossing to the Caribbean, marking the beginning of his life on the water.

After spending several years cruising between the Caribbean islands and the Chesapeake Bay, Glen eventually made Charleston, South Carolina his home. Since 2000, he has been fully immersed in the marine lifestyle—living aboard his boat, running charters, working with TowBoatU.S., and racing a Beneteau 47. His hands-on experience spans nearly every aspect of boating, both professionally and personally.

Glen transitioned into yacht brokerage after working with a sailboat dealership and later launching his own brokerage, bringing his real-world knowledge and passion for sailing into every client interaction. Today, he continues to focus on delivering a personalized, client-first experience—helping others achieve the same level of enjoyment and freedom on the water that has defined his own journey.
