Mike Burns, president of North South Nautical Group is pleased to announce that Patrick Kwasniewski has joined the brokerage team serving the South-Western Ontario area.
Patrick began his career as a yacht broker as a boat-buyer. In 2019, he and his father decided to jointly purchase their first boat. After 13 viewings, as Patrick shares, ‘we found the worst possible boat and decided to rebuild her from the stringers-up’. Now launched, they continue to modify and tinker with her as they get new ideas!
And that’s all it took for Patrick to fall in love with boating and the boating community. Operating out of the Port Dover area on Lake Erie, Patrick wants to share his passion of boating with others and unite boat-buyers and boating enthusiasts with the vessel of their dreams.
“We are delighted to have Patrick join the team. He has learned about the business by buying-in, and brings with him a number of great insights,” stated NSYS President Mike Burns. “He is going to make a wonderful addition to the NSNG team.”
Patrick will be serving area of South-Western Ontario working out of Port Dover and can be reached at 289-440-2611 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
