Born and raised on Mount Desert Island, Chuck Watson learned to sail as a young boy while employed by the Ford family (Henry Ford’s heirs) in Chuck’s home town of Seal Harbor. After attending college, he was a high school teacher at one of the local schools for nine years before returning to his first passion, boating and the sea. In all, Chuck has rented boats and taught sailing in Southwest Harbor, Maine for over forty years. The current business began in 1973 and became incorporated in 1977. The name Mansell was chosen to honor Robert Mansell, the original owner of the island when he purchased it for 110 English pounds in 1622.
