11 January 2023 – Gillen Yacht Services, Inc, of Ft Lauderdale, Florida, has a major
management announcement, and is growing into a new 15,000 sq. ft. West Palm Beach location.
It is with great pride and excitement that Gillen Yacht Services announces its latest additions and innovations for the New Year. We gained a new full-service West Palm Beach location in 2022, and Tony Matherly has recently been named Palm Beach’s Operations Manager.
Tony brings over 30 years of Marine experience in yacht servicing, starting his marine experience in Fort Lauderdale at the Broward Shipyard and working at prestigious boatyards, including Trinity Yachts in New Orleans and Rybovich Boatyard in Palm Beach. Most recently, Tony was the production manager at Delta T Systems, overseeing the manufacturing of the ventilation products that Gillen Yacht Services engineers and installs on many yacht projects. The same level of service that Fort Lauderdale customers have relied upon can be expected at our Palm Beach location with Tony’s experience, leadership, and forward-thinking performance-focused production.
“We are thrilled to have a seasoned maritime professional of Tony’s caliber join our company,” shared Ralph Hall, General Manager of Gillen Yacht Services. “His experience, management skills, and leadership abilities will be invaluable as we continue to expand our operations in the West Palm mega yacht and large sailing yacht market.”

We are growing on a daily basis and are on our way to employing 15 Service Technicians who hold a wide range of skills, from Diesel Mechanics to Fiberglas Technicians. This is a new chapter for both GYS and myself.”
