Huisfit, the refit arm of Dutch yard Royal Huisman, has announced Anders Pehrson as the new commercial director with effect on 1 June 2025.
The appointment aims to strengthen Huisfit and "broaden its clientele", based on Pehrson's long experience with refit as a captain and from a shipyard perspective.
Originally from Sweden, Pehrson has been working on yachts since the mid 90s, mainly as a captain on motor yachts up to 60 metres. In 2013, he took an active part in the conversion of Marina Port Vell into a superyacht marina, before moving to Palma five years later to enter the superyacht refit sector. He most recently worked with Astilleros de Mallorca as its commercial manager.
"After several busy years, we greatly appreciate the valuable insights and feedback we have received from project managers, captains, and crew during a wide variety of recent projects," explained Stefan Coronel, Huisfit's general manager. "Based on these learnings, we are taking the next step: making additional investments in both quality and our Huisfit team. Therefore, we feel fortunate to be able to welcome Anders Pehrson to the ranks."
Pehrson added: "I am thrilled to join the Huisfit team and keen both to get to know the existing repeat client base – and to introduce new clients to the Dutch craftmanship of this renowned shipyard."
