The
Company …
| • Turbine Marine, an International Company, offers innovative, ground breaking designs with the features of a super yacht in a semi production boat. Conceived in 2003, by David Craig, it now has divisions in Bulgaria, Holland and USA. All workmanship is done in accordance with ABS and CE governmental standards. | ||

| •
Bulgaria is
duty free into Europe, and for ease of commerce the manufacturing
arm of the company was placed along the Danube. With a literacy rate
of over 98% and a government that encourages economic growth, wages,
land cost and infrastructure combine to allow for an educated workforce,
ample facility and ability to obtain materials from the world's leading
suppliers. The company sits upon 280,000 ft of land in Bulgaria, in
a 80,000 sq ft building to support 25 finely skilled craftsmen.
•
In the USA, a country with many boating
centers, interested clients and investors, a major sales and assembly
division of Turbine Marine is anchored around the Baltimore, Maryland
area on the east coast. |

David Craig, Co-Owner of Turbine Marine,
oversees the company and travels between the European and American
locations frequently. His family hails originally from New Port, Rhode
Island, but he actually grew up in Sarasota, Florida, a major US boat
building center, and was a long time resident of Annapolis, Maryland.
•
He began racing sailboats at a young age and
spent as much of his life on water as on land. Many sailboats and
power boat races later, he chose to follow his dream of combining
his love of boating and his love of working with his hands in a
way that would impact the future of the industry. He attended Ringling
School of Art and Design to accompany his nautical knowledge, and
for the past 9 years, Mr. Craig lived in Europe, (7 years in France
and 2 in Italy) working in the yacht design and building field. •
In 1999 his seaman's heart and visionary mind
led to the creation of a new design of hull - a high speed lightweight
planning hull that has no competition. After rigorous testing at
the Davidson Institute in Hoboken NJ, it performed beyond his expectations
and he is the patent holder, granted in both USA and Europe, of
this new work of nautical art and supremely functional form. • Jim Plagenhoef, Head of Sales, USA. Three-time American Cup Racer, Jim hails from Portland, Maine. He has worked for many marine suppliers and as a seasoned professional, his knowledge of all aspects of boating prove invaluable to Turbine Marine. The voice of experience, Jim handles all sales for the USA division of the company. |
