Yatco appoints chief operating officer to lead international team

Yatco, the online multiple listing service for buying, selling and chartering yachts, has appointed Frank Dargavage as its chief operating officer (COO).

The firm says Dargavage will lead a team of 50 professionals specialising in yachting, marketing and sales ‘to ensure Yatco meets its 2023 goal of dramatically increasing its online lead generation and global consumer reach to bring a new wave of yacht buyers to its professional members.’

“I’m excited to join the incredibly successful team at Yatco and use my management experience to help ensure that all Yatco brands, team members, vendors, and stakeholders are aligned, ensuring the success of everyone’s combined efforts toward the company’s growth objectives,” says Dargavage.

Earlier this month (March 2023), Yatco appointed Mike Hutton as new director of charter and Christos Rigalos as field representative for Greece. Hutton will be based in the UK, is a seasoned charter professional with over 22 years of experience in the yacht charter market and will oversee Yatco’s all-new charter MLS.
