With our expansive sales network and absolute commitment to delivering outstanding client service, we are confident The Yacht Sales Co will be instrumental in Maritimo’s future success in Southeast Asia.

We’ll also be opening a new sales facility in Hong Kong later this year, resulting in seven sales centres in the region dedicated to helping clients realise their boating dreams and providing a new standard in after-sales service.”
