Franck Catania, Marketing - Antibes N&J

Franck Catania

Yacht Manager

My Present
I have recently joined Fairport Global and I’m glad to discover what it’s like to work in a management company and ashore. I enjoy the diversity of the work, especially everything linked to international regulation—ISM, ISPS, technical, and compliance matters.
Joining the company at this time of year is a great introduction, as I’m involved in various surveys. I’m looking forward to improving my knowledge, building strong relationships with those I collaborate with, and assisting captains and owners with different projects.

My Past
Born and raised in Antibes, I’ve never been far from the yachting industry. I naturally took on my first deck position on yachts 20 years ago, spending the last 15 years as Chief Mate and Captain. I worked mostly on yachts between 45 and 50 meters and was involved in various technical projects, including a complete paint refit in Malaysia and a new build in Italy. I also regularly assisted the Chief Engineer with the day-to-day maintenance of the yacht.

My Future
I would like to continue improving my skills and knowledge while building my professional network. I don’t have specific expectations, as long as I enjoy my work and the people I work with—but I certainly hope to keep growing and stepping up over the years.

My Motto
Take life as it comes to you, build your own happiness, and never hesitate to initiate luck.

Fast Fact
As a father of two boys, I enjoy outdoor activities and love sharing quality moments with friends.
