PHOTO COURTESY NORTHERN MARINEMarine Connection announced this week that has launched De Antonio Yachts Miami. The fully owned subsidiary operates under the Marine Connection ownership structure but with its own sales and service team.
De Antonio Yachts Miami represents five De Antonio models from 28 to 50 feet. Marine Connection has 10 locations in the Florida market.
“Marine Connection has built a strong reputation since its founding in 1987, and we expect to further this legacy with the addition of De Antonio Yachts Miami,” CEO Danny Goldenberg said in a statement. “Distinct from the high-volume model of Marine Connection with our 10 retail locations, De Antonio Yachts Miami is focused on a single brand with a boutique-style, personalized yacht-buying experience offering a premium, concierge-level service.”
RMK Merrill Stevens on the Miami River will carry the entire line, while Marine Connection’s Aventura Hi Lift location will display the smaller models and serve as an additional service center. Additionally, Alejandro Velazquez was named sales manager.
De Antonio Yachts Miami will officially debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which is scheduled for Oct. 30-Nov. 3.
