Galati Yacht Sales Pairs Up With Maritimo Yachts & Grand Banks!

Welcome To The Family Maritimo Yachts & Grand Banks!
We are pleased to announce to you that in addition to our current brands, we have
paired with both Maritimo Yachts & Grand Banks. Maritimo offers a full line of Cruising Convertibles and Sedans from 48′ to 73′. These yachts have many luxurious features and Maritimo Yachts are known for their easy ability to operate, maintain and enjoy. The Grand Banks line of yachts is a direct reflection of the company’s passion for an exceptional yacht and for offering customers an exceptional cruising vessel.  With three distinct series of yachts, including the Heritage, Eastbay and Aleutian series, Grand Banks has a boat sure to satisfy the serious cruising yachtsman. We are extremely excited about these new partnerships and are looking forward to representing these new yachts at the Miami International Boat Show, February 11th- 15th.

Special Note From The Business Office

Great Rates and White-Glove Service
We are always looking for ways to better serve you.  One example is our joint venture
with Baldwin Connelly Insurance.  In early 2006, we formed Baldwin Connelly Galati
Marine Solutions (BCGMS), a Marine Insurance Provider dedicated to serving the special
needs of Galati Customers.
The benefit for you is that we offer one stop shopping; handling every detail of
your yacht purchase transaction – from financing to insurance.  BCGMS provides
an array of convenient services.  We take the hassle out of the search and acquisition
of marine insurance.
What really sets us apart is our dedication to white-glove service.  In the event
of a loss, BCGMS will stand by your side to advise and assist in the settlement
of claims.  We are dedicated to exceeding your expectations in everything we do!
Whether you just purchased your yacht or you are looking to renew your marine insurance
policy, we have the information you need to make the best decision.  Please contact
BCGMS for a custom rate quote.  We would be honored to have the opportunity to earn
your business.

Featured Trade
OUR TRADE
74′ VIKING 2007 CNV

From the initial launch, this design had grown more and more popular with cruising
yachtsmen who wanted Viking’s well-documented performance with a climate-controlled
helm. In essence, a Viking Enclosed Bridge Convertible is a fast, long range motoryacht
with the speed, handling and sea keeping ability of an offshore proven tournament
sportfisherman with great looks to match.
