Sales efforts at the two-ship brand are being split into three areas, with President Bob Lepisto focused on charters, new hire Becker on inside sales and SeaDream actively searching for a senior sales executive to oversee field sales and national accounts.
Andreas Brynestad is currently overseeing sales.
