Grand Banks Yachts and Palm Beach Motor Yachts, divisions of Grand Banks Yachts Ltd, have expanded their sales and service operations to the West Coast of the US.
The new office is located in Kona Kai Marina in San Diego, California and will be managed by former Grand Banks sales representative, Michael Kusler.
Michael has more than two decades of experience in new and pre-owned luxury yacht sales, including a history of representing Grand Banks Yachts.
“Michael’s comprehensive understanding of the Grand Banks brand, paired with his background in the yachting industry, makes him an ideal fit to represent our two amazing brands, Grand Banks Yachts and Palm Beach Motor Yachts, in Southern California and on the West Coast,” said Mark Richards, CEO of the GB Marine Group.
“His longstanding commitment to customer service aligns perfectly with our values. We currently have 13 new models under construction across both brands, so the timing is ideal for Michael to join our team.”
Michael added: “Today’s Grand Banks models are at another level and learning more about the brands’ vision for delivering best-in-class performance, long-range cruisers got me hooked from day one.
“I’m excited to introduce the extensive portfolio of premium custom-built Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts models to both my current and future customers.”
And he said the Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ factory direct model creates an ideal framework to fulfil demand through expansion into new markets.
The move reflects Grand Banks Yachts and Palm Beach Motor Yachts commitment to continuing to grow the brand.
