Newsletter: Boom Activity

There is a lot of trawler activity going on – are you ready to be a part of it?

Things can and will change, but the quick snap shot today shows an accelerated stock market, increased consumer confidence and the yachting industry is enjoying a boom that rivals the best of times over the last decade.

If you are in a position to take advantage of this economic surge it is a wonderful time to list your boat for sale and an even better time to buy that boat you have always desired. Boat builders have ramped up production and there are fantastic brokerage listings – many selling quickly. If you know what you want, but just missed out, we know of a few trawlers in reserve that are available privately.

TrawlerFest is happening in Stuart, FL this week- a wonderful opportunity to get on board a wide variety of models, meet with equipment vendors and learn important aspects of cruising and trawler ownership through informative seminars.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Don Allen to our trawler specialist team. Don will be based in Newport, Rhode Island and has a strong boating background and is excited to meet with people who want to go “trawlering”.

Jeff has been on the move – kicking off 2017 by flying to FL on January 1 to attend survey and sea trial on the Nordhavn 55 South by West which has now closed. Ray Danet has just completed the training on board and the new owners are thrilled to have their 55 ready to cruise. Jeff also attended the Lake Union Boats Afloat show in Seattle and met clients aboard the gorgeous Delta 70 Sea Lion docked nearby.

JMYS continues to represent the Bering Yachts brand of steel expedition trawlers in the U.S. For over two years we have been collaborating on sales and marketing projects.  Jeff has visited both Bering ship yards, in China and Turkey, and JMYS has the gorgeous Bering 65, Serge available.
