Business description
Established in 1990, this business is a specialist in the sale and service of power boats and sailing yachts. Situated in an ideal location, this business is firmly established as one of the leading companies in its sector catering for the English and other Europeans.
This business offers a wide range of powerboats, luxury boats and yachts for sale. But sales are just part of the full range of services this business offers. It is very much a one stop shop, catering for all a boat owner’s needs including arranging berthing facilities throughout Spain and full service and maintenance - scheduled engine and gearbox servicing, hull maintenance and cleaning and guardinage services, gel coat repairs and polishing as well as insurance and even boat handling tuition and RYA course training through an associated Sea school!
This business is an exclusive dealer within its area for some of the biggest brands in the sector able to provide new models with a full warranty and after sales service, working very closely with the manufacturers. Prices range from as little as €50,000 to several million Euros. The business also offers a wide range of pre-owned powerboats from its brokerage listings, often arranging trade in deals – often brokering a customer’s current boat whilst supplying them with a new one.
