Thanks to this partnership, BWA becomes the preferred provider for yacht services in Vilanova Grand Marina and will soon open a dedicated office in the marina. This partnership permits BWA to further expand its presence in Spain and strengthens its position within the Spanish market as the country plays an ever more important role as an off-season location.
