Bluewater Boats of Fort Pierce names new sales director, unveils new line

FORT PIERCE —
Bluewater Sportfishing Boats Inc. has recruited an industry veteran to spearhead its sales and marketing efforts, and is broadening its focus to include inshore fishing boats, the Fort Pierce-based manufacturer of custom offshore center console fishing boats announced.

Mike Carrigan Sr. has been named as Bluewater’s new director of sales and marketing, and has been tasked with spearheading the company’s push to expand its network of marine marketing partners.

Carrigan arrives at Bluewater with nearly 50 years of marine industry experience. He is perhaps best known for his 21-year stint with Pro-Line Boats, the company said in a news release.

Bluewater also announced its intent to target the inshore saltwater fishing boat market, with an entire new line of “Flats n’ Bay” models currently being developed. Bluewater also plans to introduce two 21-foot and two 23-foot models in 2012.
