MarineMax Vacations Announces One Year Anniversary

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.”

Well they did it! Or we should say that the wonderful dealers for Naden Boats did it, along with the volunteers at the CBCF North Bay group. The Naden Pink Boat Tour 2013 raised $19,590 for Breast Cancer Research.  The winner of the Pink Boat is Michel Mino, a boater from Northern Ontario, so the Pink Boat will remain in the North.
Even with the short boating/ summer season in Northern Ontario the Naden Dealers pulled through and made this event a succes in 2.5 months. Eight dealers participated in 14 events and the little boat travelled 15,000 km all summer.

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.
