Correct Craft CEO Bill Yeargin yesterday announced that he will step down from his position in spring 2026. The company’s board has begun executing the company’s succession plan process to find Yeargin’s replacement.
Yeargin took over as CEO of the boatbuilder in September 2006 and is credited with turning the company around from the brink of failure. It eventually became a billion-dollar-plus organization. Today the company includes 18 different brands.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed leading Correct Craft,” Yeargin said in a statement. “Any success we have had has resulted from a wonderful team who has joined me on this journey; we have done some amazing things together.” Yeargin added, “As I transition to another stage of my career, Correct Craft and its team will have my full support. I have said many times that an important part of my legacy will be the Correct Craft team’s ability to continue succeeding long after I am gone, and I will do everything I can to support them.”
