Tom Zavelson, Mirage’s recently appointed director of customer service, is new to Mirage but hardly new to boats. An avid sailor for years, he started with a yellow sunfish and eventually graduated to a Hunter 30. In the mid-90’s, seeking a smoother ride, he became Captain of the GaleForce – a Trawler of course. (The fact that the boat is an old Krogen lends credibility to Dr. Tom when he discusses the comparitive merits of the Great Harbour line.)

Tom and Gail (his first and best mate for more than 35 years) have adventured to the Bahama Islands and various ports-of-call up and down the coasts of Florida and Georgia. Most weekends you’ll find them cruising around St. Augustine. When docked, you can find Gail top-side enjoying the weather and Tom in the engine room taking things apart and putting them back together.
A former pediatrician, Tom dreamed of a post-retirement boat career, but Ship’s Doctor for the Disney Boat wasn’t exactly what he had in mind. A longtime friend of Mirage, Tom is excited about working with the company. “Ken and I have had a relationship for more than 30 years, I’ve watched the company grow and I think they produce quality products. I’m really looking forward to this next phase of my life.”
Tom and Gail have two children who are both married and live nowhere near open water. Their three grandchildren Caitlin, Brandon and Anna – all under the age of five – have already been fitted for Docksiders.
One of Tom Zavelson’s duties will be to serve as contributor to Trawler Times, providing a monthy medical tip for cruisers under the heading of Dr. Tom’s Seabag.
