Aleks Taldykin

Aleks Taldykin has had a love of the water since the young age of twelve. The Los Angeles, California native started his career on the sea on commercial fishing boats, then moving up to high-speed ferries to Catalina Island. While passing the beautiful yachts up and down the coast, prompted him to acquire his Captain's license at nineteen. 

At the age of twenty, he was hired on his first yacht in Cabo San Lucas. Since then, Aleks has accumulated over 50,000 nautical miles of experience from the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest, completing the "Great loop", the Mediterranean Sea, and warmer waters in the Caribbean. His experience pushed him to motor yachts up to 185’ in length and he currently holds a USCG 3,000 Ton Masters License. Transitioning from the commercial industry to yachting set forth the opportunity to start Elite Yacht Management in Southern California. Elite Yacht Management offers stress-free yacht ownership and charter management to their clientele. 

With his clients growing demand for larger yachts, he brought his experience into yacht sales in 2015 and joined Denison Yachting in 2019 specializing in large motor yacht sales. Bringing his knowledge in management, refit, crew, and charter.

Aleks prides himself on giving his clients the best service possible. Aleks is a personable, dedicated, and positive individual who is willing to go the extra mile to assure his clients are provided with a memorable experience on the water.
