Jesper Rönngard, CEO of Navigare Yachting, announces that Fraser Yacht Sales of Vancouver, BC has joined as partner dealer, allowing the placement of new catamarans and sailing yachts into Navigare’s charter fleet in the BVIs, the Mediterranean, and Thailand.

Established in the mid-1990s, Fraser Yacht Sales has evolved into Vancouver’s premier yacht dealership for Canada’s west coast yachting community, with exclusive distribution of Jeanneau monohulls and Lagoon catamarans in British Columbia.

“Navigare’s success was built upon providing the best level of service and customer care in the charter industry,” explained Phillip Winter, Partner Manager for Navigare Yachting USA. “We owe it our clients to select the most customer-centric dealers in the Americas to support our growth. Our newest alliance with Fraser Yacht Sales honors this pledge.”

Fraser Yacht Sales founder and owner, Ian Fraser, commented: “More and more of our clients are considering buying their next yacht in a charter program. They wish to add more variety to their sailing holidays, and delegate maintenance to professionals. And let’s not overlook the upside of offsetting the cost of ownership through charter income! Navigare has earned a solid reputation as a charter operator, and offers very attractive programs: aggressive guaranteed returns, a flexible reciprocity program to sail anywhere in the world, and documented maintenance on all yachts!”

Fraser Yacht Sales and Navigare Yachting was represented at the British Columbia boat show on May 2-5, 2019, at Port Sidney Marina.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
