Kadey-Krogen Yachts is adding an office Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Partner and vice president of sales, Tucker West, will lead Kadey-Krogen’s expansion into New England. He is a Rhode Island native and grew up on and around the waters of Portsmouth and throughout high school.
During high school and college, West worked in Newport Harbor, running launches. He entered the marine industry after graduating from Plymouth State College in New Hampshire with a degree in business management.
West’s primary focus throughout the last 20 years has been in yacht sales, marketing, and after-sales service for marine businesses around the world. For Kadey-Krogen Yachts, West manages sales and contributes to product development.
“Doing business in one of the United States’ finest yachting capitals is an enormous opportunity for Kadey-Krogen Yachts,” West said in a statement. “Our expansion into Newport County is an open door to better serve our New England clients and continue to grow the cruising lifestyle in a region with so many favorable destinations for life at trawler speed. As we begin this new chapter, I’m pleased to bring a well-respected business with a bright future to Rhode Island — and to have found an outpost as regarded as New England Boatworks to work from.”
