MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
The MegaYacht Industry Has Staying Power!

South Florida and the Bahamas have been impacted by numerous factors lately, including hurricanes, increased taxes, insurance, electric bills, overbuilding of speculation real estate, and on and on.

For now, though, we are the fortunate ones. I mean those of us in yachting-related businesses and the megayacht community. We have not had to experience the hardships faced, for example, by friends, neighbors, and strangers in or associated with real estate.

All we have to do is open one of the yachting magazines and read about the order list for new builds, not to mention the vast number of the yachts that have been built over the years. Our industry is healthy for many years to come, and this means business for us in South Florida and the Bahamas, including our full-service shipyards in Ft. Lauderdale and Freeport.

The Bradford Marine Family of Companies and our employees – the Bradford Marine Team - are enthusiastic and always ready to take on additional tasks and work. We do not take our steady business for granted, and we value our customers and very much appreciate all of the business that they bring through our gates. We endeavor to continually improve ourselves in all areas, including customer satisfaction, employee training, better tools, equipment, safety, etc.

On behalf of everyone at the Bradford Marine Family of Companies, I want to again say thank you to all of our customers for your business! We don’t take it for granted.

Paul Engle
President
