Launch of Nick Whale Marine in Mallorca’s Puerto Portals
On Friday 6 May, Nick Whale Marine officially unveiled its brand new premises in Mallorca’s prestigious Puerto Portals. Accompanied by plenty of champagne and live music, over one hundred invited guests were introduced to the Nick Whale Marine Team to hear ambitious plans for 2011 and pick up first copies of the Company’s in-house glossy magazine ‘Onboard’.
Nick Whale, the eponymous Director of yacht company Nick Whale Marine, comments, “Over the past 25 years I have been fortunate enough to have owned some fabulous motoryachts both in the UK and in the Mediterranean. Now, with the launch of our Puerto Portals-based business, I have the chance to share some of my yachting experience and passion. We’re confident that our careful mix of class-leading brands, a personalised service in sales and brokerage, yacht charter, guardiennage and RYA Training will ensure that we have one of the most successful marine businesses in the Balearics.”
Nick Whale Marine is official dealer for three reputable, yet contrasting, boat manufacturers to cover all aspects of the boating spectrum. First is the 1960s established American company, Grand Banks, which makes outstanding motoryachts with a strong pedigree. A favourite with traditionalists, Grand Banks are strong, practical, reliable, economical and beautifully constructed. Many Grand Banks customers have been customers for life and have the pick of a series of three models covering 39ft to 72ft.
Next is Numarine Performance Motoryachts, a very modern alternative. Launched in Turkey in 2002, this leading edge boat builder is highly competitive when pitched against the top European brands. Thanks to infusion vacuum technology, yachts are lightweight yet very strong, fuel-efficient and fast across the water. The Italian-designed range spanning 55ft to 130ft is as luxurious as it is excellent value.
Finally, 50-year established Humber RIBs offers enormous appeal to sports enthusiasts and adventurous day trippers. Not only will Nick Whale Marine be marketing their Yorkshire-built RIBs with fantastic sea keeping ability for sale, but an 8m Leisure Pro has been added to the charter fleet for the casual user – water toys included.
On the subject of charter, Nick Whale Marine has the most comprehensive and modern portfolio of motoryachts available in the stunning maritime scenery of the Balearic Islands. From RIBs to megayachts, bareboat freedom to crewed luxury, Nick Whale Marine has it covered.
Nick Whale Marine also has a vast database of yachts for sale in Spain, Europe and globally, including those in the hands of the banks and therefore not available on the open market. Experienced brokers can guide clients through the entire purchase procedure from sea trials to arranging finance. If you add an RYA Training Centre with experienced instructors and full Guardiennage service for peace of mind throughout the year, it’s clear that Nick Whale Marine has one of the most comprehensive offerings in the Balearics.
