Charleen Klangos

I’m originally from Lowell, Massachusetts, and my career on the water began during college at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, where I majored in Marine Safety and Environmental Protection. Now with over 10 years of experience in the marine industry, I’ve worked in a variety of roles. After graduation, I moved to Florida, where I worked in environmental and marine compliance for cruise lines and environmental service companies. Eventually, I transitioned from the 9-to-5 grind to working on private yachts, traveling up and down the East Coast. This allowed me to gain the sea time necessary to earn my captain’s license and become a captain of a tour boat on the Intracoastal Waterway in Central Florida. I also worked as a dockmaster for a boat club, maintaining the fleet and training club members. After moving back to New England and settling in Maine, I was fortunate enough to find my place at DiMillo’s, where I can continue doing what I love on the water.

Charleen joined DiMillo’s in 2024.
