The superyacht industry may be small to some, but it is filled with a range of experts and professionals from around the world. In this series, we shine a light on some of the specialists working within the different segments of the industry to learn more about what they do for the sector. As the new CEO of UAE based shipyard Gulf Craft, Gregory Yeakle brings years of industry experience with him. Having successfully lead companies such as Informix, Ivensys and Alexander Proudfoot Company, Yeakle has developed a new three-point strategy to strengthen and grow all of Gulf Craft’s brands. SuperYacht Times takes a moment to chat with Yeakle to learn more about his vision for the shipyard and plans for the future.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36622/image/large-d60124ec09dd3beeb4cf986208dd7605.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36622">1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your recent appointment as CEO of Gulf Craft?&nbsp; I've been a life-long boater and professionally my career has been in information technology, industrial consultancy and process automation, focusing mostly on the oil and gas industry around the world. I was consulting with Gulf Craft for over a year on matters related to strategic decisions and general management approaches. Shortly thereafter, I was asked to step in as CEO, which I accepted with enthusiasm in April this year. &nbsp; 2) Since being appointed CEO at Gulf Craft, you state that the yard has witnessed double-digit growth. In your opinion, how have you managed to achieve such stellar results?&nbsp; We have been achieving double-digit growth in each of the brands since we made a structural change in sales and marketing. This has been achieved by executing the first part of our strategy, which was to delineate each of the brands into vectors of growth of their own right, with direct lines of accountability and resources. This has allowed our people to become very focused on each of the brands. The people that are in charge of Majesty Yachts are very focused on marketing and selling Majesty Yachts. Likewise, those who are responsible for Nomad Yachts, our adventure brand, have their focus and resources channelled to it. The new system works all the way down through to the five brands that make up the Gulf Craft group. This is what has made the difference. While we are adding new people and improving our systems, methods and procedures, it has mostly been an improvement of focus and delineation of responsibilities by brand that led to these results. &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/49769/image/large-8d932a1ae24db78a3146b4a57186548b.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/49769">3) You recently announced plans for a new three-point strategy to strengthen the business, which includes managing each brand as a separate unit and refreshing the brands' images and product line. How do you aim to achieve this while remaining true to each brand’s individual DNA?&nbsp; I think executing the strategy actually helps us more to respect each brand's DNA. Whereas, pulling them all together dilutes and blurs each brand's specificity. So, I believe it is a great asset and the fact that the second part of the strategy, which is about increasing our focus on systems, methods, procedures of quality, has freed up resources that allow us to bring out new boats at an accelerated pace. The product refreshment rate is being improved allowing us to further evolve the specific design language and branding of each of the major divisions inside the group. In short, the structure is designed to reinforce the differences between the brands and highlight what really makes them special. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36589/image/large-585713c3a9b776b8dba14b81f8c98824.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36589">4) Gulf Craft is also set to structure itself as a learning organisation - can you explain what this means to you and how the company’s employees will benefit from this change?&nbsp; What a learning organisation means to me is that employees in Gulf Craft at all levels are continually improving their skill sets, and expanding their knowledge base throughout the entire organization. The objective that I seek to achieve with that is to attract and retain the best talent available in the industry. Top performers like to be with other top performers and just like any sports team, it is all about continuous training, working on mental and physical fitness to ensure we can not only play in the world cup but that we can win. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36586/image/large-15f8104357ed11670aceb30d5f62e79e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36586">5) Gulf Craft is also working on its largest superyacht to date - the Majesty 175. What makes her unique to the other Majesty superyachts?&nbsp; First of all, we are extremely proud of her. She is going to be the largest GRP superyacht in the world at over 500 GT. She is a great sense of pride to the organization and we are rewriting the industry rules with her construction and new innovative solutions with regards to her technology and use of composites. The Majesty 175 is very much a showcase of technology, representing levels of innovation that Gulf Craft is able to deliver to the market. &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36587/image/large-dcf6a53147e0e25fa6542d70a8704023.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36587">Lastly, how do you foresee Gulf Craft evolving over the next five years?&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe we will continue to grow and gain momentum and achieve a more balanced global recognition for our quality and excellence in our chosen markets. This week I have been going through a lot of our future models and I am personally very excited about what the future holds for all of the Gulf Craft brands in the next five years.Sponsored content

5 Questions with…Gregory Yeakle, CEO of Gulf Craft

For six days a year, the quays of Vieux Port and Port Canto in Cannes, France are transformed into the bustling hub of the Cannes Yachting Festival, as both international and local yachting companies come together to present their complete offering. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/47824/image/large-950ffa3264d51a904624f117f9022386.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47824"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/48998" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="In Pictures: Day 2 of Cannes Yachting Festival 2018 (2018-09-12 14:00:00 +0200)">Cannes Yachting Festival 2018</a> continues to attract a large number of visitors, who come to visit 542 exhibitors, including leading yards such as the Ferretti Group, Sanlorenzo, Azimut /Benetti Group, Princess Yachts and Cantiere delle Marche. Running from the 11th of September to the 16th, this year’s edition welcomes 638 boats, ranging from 2.4 metres to 50 metres in size, with 219 new boats being presented, including 122 world premieres.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47866/image/large-5e6073289a0f4b1fdc54ffd5b214e542.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47866">One of the most innovative world premieres to take place during Cannes Yachting Festival was the debut of the Silent 55, the first transatlantic solar-electric production catamaran. Developed by Silent-Yachts, the Silent 55 is powered by electric propulsion for minimal vibration, no noise or fumes. The Silent 55 can cruise efficiently for up to 100 miles a day for weeks without the need of fuel to power a generator, as it takes a holistic approach to energy usage. “The generator is only used to recharge the batteries in the rare case when a higher speed is required for longer periods of time or if the weather is bad for several days,”&nbsp;said Michael Köhler, CEO of Silent-Yachts during a press conference at Cannes earlier this week.&nbsp;“Under normal, average holiday conditions, the boat is self-sufficient with unlimited range without burning fuel.” <img src="/uploads/store/photo/47839/image/large-9d53b16d543214602407e5d8800371ab.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47839">The solar-electric catamaran is available in several power configurations, with all versions relying mainly on solar power from 30 solar panels for propulsion and onboard power needs. The Silent 55 presented at Cannes is an ‘E-power’ version for example, with twin 135 kW motors and is able to reach up to 14 knots. The model is also available as a ‘cruiser’ version, with a pair of 30Kw motors, or a ‘hybrid power’ version with two 220 hp diesel engines and two 14 kW electric motors. There is also a ’sailor’ version which can be equipped with all the aforementioned configurations and is rigged with a mast and sails to provide additional propulsion in fair winds. The Silent 55 is available in five different layouts, ranging from three to six staterooms, with three or four heads, although other layouts are available on request. “There is nothing on the market at this moment with lower maintenance costs,”&nbsp;added Köhler.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47847/image/large-a50b94387e321b96acb2d768f5ac2f13.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47847">UAE-based shipyard Gulf Craft presented two new Majesty superyachts at Cannes Yachting Festival this week, the Majesty 125&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6621" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Altavita38.56m (126'6&quot;)">Altavita</a> and Majesty 100<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6840" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Svetlana31.68m (103'11&quot;)">&nbsp;Svetlana</a>.

The Majesty 175 is set to be the first world commercial yacht over 500GT made from GRP material in compliance with the LY3 Code, according to the yard. Developed in collaboration with naval architect Massimo Gregory, with interiors designed by Cristiani Gatti together with Gulf Craft Design Studio, the superyacht is set to launch by the second quarter next year. “We are redefining certifications and have the know-how to do so.” <img src="/uploads/store/photo/47850/image/large-d096d8ab8422ec3bef3c095f9f9a9840.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47850">In order to improve the growth of each of its brands, Gulf Craft is set to manage each as its own unit, with separate teams for each brand and individual business plans and growth objectives. The company also aims to implement a new design language concerning all its models across the range, beginning with the Nomad Yachts, Oryx, Silvercraft and Majesty Yachts. Gulf Craft also plans on investing in refreshing product lifecycle management within each of its brands to bring out new models at a faster pace in the future. Lastly, the yard will also begin nurturing and supporting its own talent by structuring itself as a ‘learning organisation’ to ensure it is able to attract and retain the best talent possible. "I firmly believe the future of any business is not driven by what you did yesterday but what you are doing today.” &nbsp;Another yard to unveil its next step at the Cannes Yachting Festival was Dreamline Yachts. The yard announced the construction of a new production area, set to stand 4 thousand square metres, in order to manufacture fibreglass in-house during a press conference onboard of the Dreamline 35, the updated version of the Dreamline 34. Paolo Bencivenni, CEO of Dreamline Yachts, revealed the yard currently has eight yachts under construction after opening its eight thousand square metre shed in Fano two years ago.&nbsp;“This was a positive year for the company, above all for the excellent order portfolio. Since the foundation the shipyard can boast seven boats launched,”&nbsp;said Bencivenni. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47873/image/large-80e5af51cd67de8cfec4b773b62cda81.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47873">Bencivenni also announced that Dreamline Yachts is set to expand its current range offering and will be introducing a new product line which will include smaller boat, starting from an entry level of 68 feet up to a fully custom yacht of 100 feet or more. At the same time, the company also aims to renew its image and is set to launch a rebranding scheme which is set to be revealed within the next few months.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47871/image/large-2a3d889fd2e896739569211c005f32e2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47871">&nbsp; Another shipyard to debut new vessels at Cannes was Dominator, who revealed two new Ilumen 28M superyachts,<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zalanka 27.35m (89'9&quot;)">&nbsp;</a><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zalanka 27.35m (89'9&quot;)">Zalanka</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7307" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cadet V27.35m (89'9&quot;)">Cadet V</a>.
