Jennifer
Abercrombie is the founder of Blue Cruise Yacht Charters. A native of Derbyshire,
England, she took her baccalaureate in computer sciences and obtained employment in the Aero-Engine
Manufacturing Division of Rolls-Royce PLC, eventually becoming a Systems Project Leader. She first
began exploring Greece and Turkey in 1988 and relocated to the latter country in 1994. In 1995 she
took employment as co-manager of marina facilities at the Club Marina in Gocek. There she obtained an
appreciation for the needs and wishes of both holiday-goers and the charter yacht community as well
as experience in facilities and financial management. She also acquired a proficiency in the Turkish
language and experience working with both Turkish nationals and others from different parts of the
world. The knowledge and experience of Turkey, culture, cuisine, and holiday-goers that she acquired,
together with her love of sailing and people, enabled Mrs. Abercrombie in 1997 to establish Blue
Cruise Yacht Charters, an agency dedicated to meeting the needs of yacht charterers. She resides in
Derby, England, with her husband and their two children.
Gordon Abercrombie
Gordon Abercrombie
has since 1997 been the general manager of Blue Cruise Yacht Charters. He spent much of his youth in
Annapolis, Maryland, in Ankara, Turkey, and in Plymouth, England. In Plymouth he served in the Royal
Navy Sea Cadets and was assigned to HMS Golden Hind. Returning to Annapolis he obtained a bachelor's
degree in Naval Science from the U.S. Naval Academy, thereafter serving on destroyers with the
Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets, frequently visiting Greece and Turkey. Following tours of duty in
Viet Nam, in Washington, D.C., and with the Pacific Fleet, Lieutenant Commander Abercrombie resigned
his commission and entered the investment banking business where he eventually rose to positions in
senior management. Leaving investment banking in 1981, he purchased his own cutter-rigged yacht and
set sail for the eastern Mediterranean where the yacht has remained since arrival in 1983. From 1975
through 1997 Mr. Abercrombie was a member of the Board of Directors of E Capital Corporation and
from 1988 through 1997 of Wedbush Capital Corporation, both in Los Angeles where he also served on
the Audit Committee of Wedbush Morgan Securities. During the off-season Mr. Abercrombie resides in
Derby with his wife and their children, and during the sailing season he may
usually be found in Gocek, Turkey.
William Abercrombie
Born in Marmaris,
Turkey, in 1997, William Abercrombie is employed by Blue Cruise Yacht Charters as a gofor and
jack-of-all-trades. He is principally engaged in delivery of yachts under power, hauling on halyards of
yachts under sail, and the heaving of mooring lines on yachts arriving. Fluent in Turkish,
he also knows a few Greek phrases appropriate in tavernas, strums a guitar idly, and engages in
most other pursuits haphazardly. He is nevertheless a valuable member of the Blue Cruise team.
Sian Abercrombie
Born in Marmaris,
Turkey, in 1998, Sian Abercrombie is employed by Blue Cruise Yacht Charters as a figurehead
and to grace the decks of unemployed Blue Cruise charter yachts. At such times she is principally
engaged in ignoring all but her holiday. Proficient in Turkish, she knows a few Greek phrases, plays
the piano well, and spends a lot of time day-dreaming. She is even so a valuable member of the Blue
Cruise team.
