Denison Yachting announced the appointment of Patrick Coote as president. Coote comes in after the completion of Denison’s strategic partnership with OceanWorld Group, which has become the majority shareholder in the company.

“Denison is one of those rare names in yachting that combines genuine heritage with enormous potential for the future,” Coote said in a press release. “The company has built an outstanding business in the United States, an exceptional reputation among its clients and, importantly, an incredibly strong team. The opportunity now is to build on those foundations and develop Denison on a truly international scale.”

With more than 25 years of senior-level experience in the international superyacht industry, Coote will focus on operations, growth and strengthening cross-regional collaboration.
