American Tugs’ U.S.-style fishing boats change ownership
The Kadey-Krogen Group , manufacturer of Krogen trawlers and Summit Motoryachts cruising boats, has acquired the American Tugs shipyard. Founded in 1999, the U.S. shipyard American Tugs currently produces five different models from 36 to 48 feet at its 28,000-square-foot facility in La Conner, Washington, and has delivered more than 250 boats to date. The brand will retain its autonomy and management will remain the same, with co-founder and CEO Kurt Dilworth at the helm. American Tugs thus adds to the Kadey-Krogen Group’s production line its models reminiscent of fishing boats and small tugboats, much loved by the North American public.
