All Bases Covered
Kadey Krogen and Outer Reef
have formed a formidable team.
When Larry Polster first laid eyes on a
Kadey Krogen motor yacht over 20 years
ago, he knew he wanted to own one. He
could not have known he would one day
own a whole company. Today, Polster
is one of the three former owners with a stake
in the American pocket cruiser brand, which
made its Australian debut at SCIBS.
" I first saw the brand in 1989 at the
Annapolis boat show and thought, 'I want
one of those one day'. Eventually I bought
one second hand," Polster told Ocean.
Having had control of the company for
five years now, Polster has struck up a
deal with Outer Reef Yachts which will see
the brand go global through Outer Reef's
dealer network, including in Australia.
"Kadey Krogen have the same values
of quality and customer service that we
have, so there was a natural alignment
there," said Outer Reef CEO Jeff Druek.
Kadey Krogen concentrates on the sub-
60-foot segment while Outer Reef chases
business in the bigger sizes.
"We have people coming in the door
looking for something under the 60-foot
range and we had nothing to offer them,"
said Druek."Now we do".
