Brian Larkin Named as Successor

Our longtime leader, Steve White, has stepped down as President of Brooklin Boat Yard. Steve took over the boat yard in 1990 in a step that allowed his father, the founder of BBY, to spend more time in the design office. Since then, Steve has grown the boat yard into a company of 70+ employees. Steve plans to stay on in a limited role in the sales department promoting the boat yard’s services.

Both Brian Larkin and Eric Blake will be assuming new leadership roles. Larkin, who has been with BBY since 1987, will assume the role of President while Blake will be the new Vice President, Head of New Construction. Read what the two had to say below:

Brian Larkin: “I’m excited about the opportunity to continue working on Brooklin Boat Yard’s workplace culture and product diversity as well as improving its facilities.”

Eric Blake: “Being witness to the business that Steve created here in Brooklin has been an incredible experience. Being part of a team that’s taking it into the future is simply the best.”

We are so excited to see what the future holds, and we congratulate our new leaders on their continued success!
