“Derecktor’s commitment to the industry is commendable and its reputation is legendary,” Whitehouse says. “We welcome the global fleet of megayachts and super sailing yachts to come experience the recent facility improvements in Dania Beach and learn more about the exciting future of our Fort Pierce yard.”
With an extensive background in the superyacht industry and experience as a superyacht captain, Whitehouse brings a stellar reputation for developing, redesigning, and managing large-scale projects. As sales manager, Whitehouse will oversee the sales team, develop and execute sales strategies, manage key accounts, and establish new client relationships.

George can help us build and foster relationships within the industry to not only grow our business, but also to position Derecktor as a valuable US resource to the world market.”
