Baltic Yachts has appointed Gordon Kay as vice president sales for the United States and the Americas.
Kay will be based in Miami, Florida and will represent Baltic Yachts across the Americas, working with both the sales and after-sales teams while developing relationships with owners and prospective clients throughout the region.
He brings more than 35 years of experience spanning offshore racing, technical development and high-performance yacht projects.
In his early twenties he circumnavigated the globe before being appointed skipper of Fazer Blue Magic for the Expo ’98 Round the World Race.
The Americas are an important and growing market for Baltic Yachts.

Following this campaign he was engaged by the Dutch company Bols to manage its international sailing programme, during which they acquired the Baltic 80 Martela, marking Kay’s first collaboration with both PG Johansson and Baltic Yachts in 1998.
He later co-founded Dynamic Stability Systems (DSS) foil technology, which was implemented aboard the Baltic 142 Canova.
“The Americas are an important and growing market for Baltic Yachts,” said Baltic Yachts CEO Tom von Bonsdorff.
“Gordon’s deep understanding of sailing and yacht technology makes him ideally placed to support our clients both new to sailing and those more experienced on future projects in the region.”
