CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2012--
MarineMax is pleased announce their one year anniversary of the launch
of MarineMax Vacations Yacht Charter Division.
MarineMax Vacations has been delivering outstanding charter vacations in
the British Virgin Islands with the newest and most exceptional fleet in
the market since its introduction in October 2011. Operating from its
beautiful base in Tortola, the year has been one of accelerated growth
through its fleet additions of sailboats, power cats and the building of
a custom 46 power catamaran to be introduced in January 2013.
The past year has also included the addition of the Yacht Ownership
Program to the Vacations Yacht Charter Division. Both sail and power
yachts are available in the Ownership Program.
“We are very proud to be celebrating our one year anniversary this
month. During the past year not only have we raised the standards for
yachts in the charter industry with the addition of standard water
makers, electric toilets and Wi-Fi to our Dufour built sailboats and the
Aquila power fleet, but also raised the level of exceptional customer
service and personal attention in the delivery of charter vacations,”
said Raul Bermudez, VP of Sales and Marketing at MarineMax Vacations.
“This has been a very exciting and successful first year for our charter
division,” commented Lex Raas, President of Marketing, Charter and
Special Initiatives. “Our focus has been on delivering the best service
and boats at a great value, which has included innovative thinking of
new designs and luxury upgrades. Looking forward, there are extremely
exciting times ahead for MarineMax Vacations as we continue to integrate
innovative custom designs to our fleet with the 46 power catamaran,
which will further raise the standards in charter yachts. The expertise
of the MarineMax Team and company-wide commitment to excellence ensures
our customers will continue to enjoy the newest and most innovative
fleet and service for their charter vacations.”
