WESMAR President, Bruce H. Blakey, and Alex De Boom, President of Arie De Boom Marine of France, have announced they have signed an agreement that establishes a partnership between them called WESMAR Europe.
Under the agreement, Arie De Boom will be developing a high-level sales and service network for WESMAR products throughout Europe. WESMAR will be supplying the equipment and the technical training for the sales and support of their bow and stern thruster equipment, roll fin stabilizers, and hydraulics.
WESMAR is a US manufacturer of high-end marine electronics and mechanical systems for the yachts of the world. Arie De Boom Marine is part owner and manages Port de La Rague, and Arie De Boom Services, a fully owned subsidiary operates the shipyard in the heart of Port de La Rague, where it offers every possible boating service including maintenance and repairs, equipment installation and servicing, dry docking and winterizing. It serves a loyal following of yachts, trawlers, and sailboats from around the world that draw upon their extensive capabilities.
“The Port de La Rague is a premier facility and will be a valuable location for WESMAR customers throughout Europe. Included at the marina is an outstanding yard that includes covered storage, travel lifts and hoists, a paint shop and maintenance workshops that provide a level of service highly revered in Europe. It is surrounded by retail spaces including hotels, restaurants, and exquisite shops,” said Mr Blakey.
