In January, Grand Large Yachting opened a new service base at Le Marin in Martinique. This means that GARCIA YACHTS owners, like those with boats from the group’s other shipyard brands, can now find experts to look after their boat after their transatlantic passage.
Buying an GARCIA means choosing a blue water cruising yacht with exceptional qualities and a remarkable finish. But it’s also about having access to a whole range of services:
- training,
- rallies,
- refits,
- brokerage, etc.
Need spare parts? Want to add equipment to your boat? Need to carry out repairs after an Atlantic crossing? Just want to have your boat checked over before continuing on your blue water trip? GARCIA experts are now there for you in the West Indies too!
Welcome to Aurore and Pascal Petit (customer support and technician respectively), as well as Quentin (technician), and welcome to the Caribbean
“A service centre in the West Indies means that we can better serve our owners, especially those who sail an Atlantic circuit every year.”
Nicolas Rey – CEO of Grand Large Services
