MarineMax and Fraser Yachts expand to West Palm Beach

MarineMax and its superyacht brokerage Fraser Yachts have expanded their South Florida presence with the opening of a new office in West Palm Beach. Fraser Yachts will handle the new office’s superyacht sales, charter management and crewing services.

Joshua Lavine, area manager, MarineMax said that the move was driven by increasing demand for superyacht services in the region. “While we have always had a strong footprint in Florida, Palm Beach has experienced significant growth with the ultra-high net worth clientele, many of whom relocated to Palm Beach during the pandemic,” said Lavine.

As part of the MarineMax group, Fraser Yachts specialises in yachts over 80ft (24m). The new location will provide client guidance and support for superyacht sales and purchase, private yacht charter vacations, new construction, project management, yacht management, charter management and crew placement.

“Given the demographics of the Palm Beach area, we felt it was important to have an official presence in such a thriving superyacht community,” Mike Busacca, chief operating officer, Fraser Yachts. “Fraser Yachts has been working to expand our services in the US, and Palm Beach is the place to be for our new and existing clients.”
