About Us
Meet Charles
Welcome to Southern Air and Sea, LLC! With over 26 years of experience in the Aviation and Marine industries, I started this company to bring together my love for boats and planes. I got my commercial pilot's license when I was just 18 and worked in aircraft insurance and sales, which gave me the flexibility to spend more time at home with my family. When I moved to Florida in 1998, my passion for the water led me to create the first-ever on-the-water boat-to-boat service along the Florida Gulf Coast. I've been focusing on boat sales, finance and consulting, building transparent relationships with top industry experts. Keeping my passion and relationships alive within the aviation industry as well.
At Southern Air and Sea, we've got your back whether you're a Cruiser, fisherman, or yachtsman. I always keep your best interests in mind throughout the financing process. With my background in sales and acquisitions, I make sure your financing experience is smooth and seamless. Having been on both sides of the table, from inspections to contract negotiations and sea trials, I know firsthand how even the simplest deal can get complicated. I take pride in being a forward thinker, anticipating and resolving issues before they even pop up.
Count on me to hunt down the best financing deal for your next purchase or refinance. Let's make it happen!
Sincerely,
Charles Hornback
