Crew
Captain – Leon
Leon co-heads the Bow To Stern crew and will be your Port of call at the store. His love of the marine industry began on the Hauraki Gulf sailing small boats. Leon was brought up with a father who did his time as a boat builder in Devonport and a grandfather who was a commander in the NZ Navy. After retiring from the Navy, Commander Jack was the director of a successful marine electronics company, this is where Leon’s dream of a marine chandlery/brokerage began. Leon’s aims are to provide great service and to build a strong clientele.
Chief Mate – Michelle
Michelle works alongside Leon heading the Bow to Stern ship. Michelle grew up on the Tauranga Harbour watching her father coach numerous rowing crews, often tagging along in the coaching boat. Michelle has extensive knowledge of the latest and greatest fishing gear, products & tackle and can assist you in making your next fishing investment. As well as taking care of the general running & administration, Michelle also enjoys recreational fishing and boating.
Salty Sea Dog
Storm is forever in our hearts. She had a background in hunting & outdoors and developed a love for boating and the ocean. Storm completed a modelling assignment for pet life jackets in her time at Bow To Stern. She had a great love for Havelock’s famous Green Lipped Mussels and brought so much love and character to our lives! RIP Stormy. xxx
