Fraser Yachts Brokerage Team Expands

    FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, January 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fraser Yachts is proud to announce that two new yacht brokers have joined its sales team at the start of the year. Maarten Ten Holter has joined the Monaco team while Trevor Carroll has joined the Fort Lauderdale team; both are experienced brokers having worked in the industry for over 15 years.

Maarten is well known in the industry having done numerous large yacht deals, including several with Fraser Yachts. Having worked for De Valk Yacht brokerage between 1987 and 1998 Maarten then went on to set up Vripack Yacht brokerage in 1999, he has been a certified broker in The Netherlands since 1992. By moving to Fraser Yachts, Vripack Yacht & Ship Brokers will cease to operate as a brokerage company as of January 2015.

Maarten commented "I want to serve my existing and future clients at the highest possible level, regardless of whether it concerns buying, selling, building, charter, yacht management or crewing. To be part of a team like Fraser Yachts, sharing knowledge and experience, will allow me to offer an even better service to those clients."

Trevor has worked in the yachting industry for 15 years and has spent the past 11 years building his career as a successful sales broker at Atlantic Yacht and Ship. Prior to working at Atlantic Yacht and Ship, Trevor was an engineer on private yachts.

Trevor commented "I'm excited about my move to Fraser Yachts. I want to be able to deliver a level of service to my customers that Fraser Yachts and its many divisions will be able to offer for years to come."

Fraser Yachts has sold more yachts than any other brokerage firm over the past five years and continually pursues building on this success. The first yacht sold in 2015, Four Wishes, was sold by a Fraser Yachts broker, kicking off the year to a good start.

"Much of our success comes as a result of our expertise, team work, scope and internationalism" said Roberto Giorgi, Chairman of Fraser Yachts. "We know both Maarten and Trevor well and feel they fit in with the Fraser Yachts team and ethos. This was a natural choice; and we are confident they will contribute significantly to Fraser Yachts' continued growth and success on both sides of the Atlantic."
