Fishing Electronics Leader Honors Pro Ambassadors at ICAST

ORLANDO, Florida (July 16, 2019) – Raymarine honored its diverse team of fishing Pro Ambassadors at the 2019 ICAST Show in Orlando Wednesday evening, during its Country & Cold Ones booth event.

Captain Frank Crescitelli of New York City was recognized as Raymarine’s 2019 Pro Ambassador of the Year. Crescitelli has operated Fin Chaser Charters in the busy but productive waters surrounding New York City for nearly 20 years, and has been a key partner with Raymarine since the very beginning. “New York Harbor is one of the busiest navigation environments in the nation,” says Crescitelli. “There’s a lot of traffic and security zones and I need to be able see and understand all of it to stay safe. I trust and believe in Raymarine products and FLIR technology so much, that I’m legitimately happy and excited to talk about it with anyone at any opportunity.”

“Captain Frank is a complete embodiment of everything we could hope for in an ambassador and partner,” says FLIR Maritime Marketing Director, Jim Hands. “Anyone who knows Frank understands that he goes to work every day in a challenging environment with a special enthusiasm, passion and work ethic. He appreciates the opportunities he’s worked so hard to create for himself, so it means a lot that he trusts our products to create safe and memorable experiences for his customers. We value our relationship with Frank very highly, and are proud to recognize his knowledge, enthusiasm and unique brand of outreach with our top honor, the 2019 Pro Ambassador of the Year.”
