Welcome to “Stoked on Boats”, a page for sharing ideas about boat improvement projects, tips for life aboard, exciting destinations, exceptional marinas, great boats for sale, and pleasant times on the water -- brought to you by Barbara Burke with Curtis Stokes and Associates, Yacht Brokers. Barbara is based in Jacksonville, FL and concentrates on yacht sales and marketing from South Carolina to t
he Space Coast area of Florida. Beginning in her teen years in Atlanta, Barbara was power boating and water skiing before learning the love of sailing at a weekend seminar she took through the Yale Sailing Club. Experienced in both fresh water and blue water sailing, she has chartered extensively throughout the Caribbean and sailed the southeast coastal waters of the U.S. Barbara is Commodore of North Florida Cruising Club, a past Secretary of Jacksonville Sail and Power Squadron, and a member of Marine Trawler Owners Association. She is a past member of Rotary International, American Mensa, and the Chamber of Commerce, and is a graduate of the Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy. When she isn’t helping clients with their nautical needs or boating with friends, Barbara enjoys cooking, entertaining, and musical theater. Barbara and her team have not tested out the ideas, tips, and pages we share, merely think they might be of interest to boaters. Just like anything on the Internet, you should thoroughly vet anything you see here before trying it out.
