Ancasta International Boat Sales has strengthened its European presence with the opening of new offices in The Netherlands and Montenegro.
The two new offices take Ancasta’s European network to ten locations, building on its established operations in France and Spain, including three offices across the Balearic Islands.
The new Amsterdam office will be led by yacht broker Sunny de Haan, who brings more than 13 years of brokerage experience in the Dutch market, including nine years specialising in luxury motor yachts.
Initially, the office will focus on brokerage services for premium sailing yachts and power boats.
The new Montenegro office will be headed by yacht broker Dragan Jolić.
International yacht ownership
“Europe represents a significant opportunity for Ancasta’s continued growth,” said Matthew Shave, CEO of Ancasta Group.
“Modern yacht ownership is increasingly international, with many of our clients cruising, buying and selling yachts across multiple European destinations.
“Expanding into The Netherlands and Montenegro allows us to be much closer to those clients, providing expert local support wherever they choose to enjoy their boat.”
The opening of the two new offices comes ahead of Ancasta’s debut at HISWA te Water in Bataviahaven, Lelystad from 2–6 September, before the company heads to the Cannes Yachting Festival from 8–13 September.
Principal boating destinations
The Amsterdam and Montenegro offices form part of Ancasta’s long-term strategy to develop a stronger network of company-owned offices and franchise partners across Europe’s principal boating destinations.
With the addition of these two new offices, Ancasta now has 24 sales outlets across the UK and Europe.
Shave concluded: “This is another important milestone in Ancasta’s long-term European strategy.
“We’re continuing to explore opportunities in a number of key Mediterranean markets, including Greece, Turkey, Portugal and Italy.”
