Corinna grew up sailing and windsurfing on lakes in Germany. She was part of a local sailing club, racing Optimists and 420s. 

When she moved to St. Simons Island, GA, in 2010, she fell in love with the Georgia Coast and boating the local waters. She started off power boating on a Stingray and then getting her ASA license and quickly took the leap to boat ownership. She and her husband bought their first boat, a Catalina 22, moved up to a Pearson 323 and later on an Irwin 38. She was a proud Co-Captain and responsible for a crew of two children and a dog. With many years of taking month-long cruises to the Florida Keys and their big liveaboard trip sailing the Gulf of Mexico, The Keys, Crossing to the Bahamas all the way to George Town and then back to Georgia, Corinna has extensive knowledge of boat ownership and long-term cruising. 

She is a Yacht Broker with Sunshine Cruising Yachts covering the Coastal Georgia area. She was the top seller in 2023. Corinna is also licensed & bonded as Florida Yacht & Ship Salesperson and a member of the International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA).
