HMS Senior Management Team
Gary Seabrook
Executive Vice President
Gary Seabrook joined HMS in 1997 after ten years with Hornblower Dining
Yachts as Captain, Operations Director, and General Manager. He began
his career with HMS as General Manager for our City of Jacksonville car/passenger
ferry operation and was responsible for the transition of the ferry service
from state to city ownership.
Under Gary’s leadership the car/passenger service across the St.
Johns River exceeded all expectations. During the first 180 days of operation,
revenue increased substantially; at the end of December 1998, revenue
had increased by over 40%, thereby decreasing the subsidy from the city
by a corresponding amount. HMS continues to enjoy an excellent relationship
with the client City of Jacksonville.
The success of this operation and Gary’s leadership qualities have
resulted in elevation of his position to Executive Vice-President of Hornblower
Marine Services. Gary is responsible for start-up operations as well as
oversight of existing marine management contracts. Strategically, Gary
is responsible for ensuring that contemporary management tools and technology
are implemented company wide.
Gary oversaw the day-to-day operation of the M/V Trump Casino operation
in Buffington Harbor, Indiana from takeover through the needed turnaround
.
Currently, Gary is spearheading development of the Hawaii Superferries
project and providing oversight management of the Lake Express high-speed
ferry on Lake Michigan, the Riverlink Ferry in Camden, New Jersey, and
the Saint Johns River Ferry in Jacksonville, Florida.
