Brunswick Corporation : CABO Yachts Announces New Dealer for Puerto Rico
Antilles Yachts Assumes Representation of the CABO Brand
NEW BERN, N.C., Sept. 18, 2012 - CABO Yachts is pleased to announce that
Antilles Yachts Brokerage & Sales LLC., acknowledged by its enduring association
with Hatteras Yachts, will now also represent the CABO brand. Recognized for
having the most experienced sales team and brand specialists in Puerto Rico, the
Antilles team will serve as an immediate asset by utilizing its expertise as a
dealer of top brands in the market.
"Since 1985, our family has been a customer of Hatteras. We purchased the
products that we considered were the best for our adventures. Now, we represent
Hatteras and CABO because we know that they are not only the best brands for our
family, but also the best for anyone," said Ralph "Agie" Vicente, founder of
Antilles Yachts.
The concept first instilled by Agie, "selling boats to friends," has remained a
tradition of this family business. To ensure that the customer and their family
are in the hands of people they can trust, the Antilles team offers services to
all customers at the same caliber that would be issued to their closest friends
and family.
Antilles Yachts' representation of CABO in Puerto Rico and the Dominican
Republic will foster numerous opportunities for the brand. "We are very excited
to have our friends at Antilles Yachts carry the CABO banner. Not only are they
great people to work with, but their territories expand our access in the
Caribbean, including the British Virgin Islands," said John Ward, Hatteras and
CABO Yachts' senior vice president of global sales and marketing. "As the
economy continues its recovery, the opportunity for growth could become
immense."
