UK luxury yacht builder, Fairline Boats, is delighted to announce the expansion of its longest-serving authorised dealer in the USA, Total Marine, with new offices in Annapolis, Maryland. Already trading as Fairline New York and Fairline New England, Total Marine will now also trade as Fairline Chesapeake, operating from new premises in Port Annapolis Marina.
Established in 1971, Total Marine provides boat sales and servicing in popular East Coast boating destinations, including Connecticut, New Jersey and now Maryland. Total Marine is a family owned dealership and marina operator jointly managed by John and Tom Caruso. Jim Renfrow, Dealer Principal of Fairline Chesapeake, partnered with Tom and John Caruso in 2010 in an expansion move by the company, after holding executive level positions with yacht manufacturing companies, including Fairline.
Ideally located in Port Annapolis Marina, Fairline Chesapeake offers quick, easy access to Chesapeake Bay and is close to the historic boating town of Annapolis, home of the historic US Naval Academy.
Jim Renfrow, Dealer Principal at Fairline Chesapeake, comments: “The expansion of Total Marine into Maryland is the direct result of our recent retail success. We currently have three Fairlines on order for our customers; a Squadron 50, Targa 38GT and what will be the first Targa 48GT delivered into the US. Our customers appreciate the superior build quality of the Fairline range, the boats’ elegant looks, and their ability to hold their value in the market.”
Tom Caruso, president and CEO of Total Marine states: “As Fairline’s longest-serving US dealership, we are committed to growing the brand in the region and taking advantage of economies of scale in our organization, resulting in enhanced value added for our customers.”
James Robinson, Sales Director at Fairline Boats, commented: “We are delighted that Total Marine will now be representing the Fairline brand in Maryland, in a state capital that is renowned for its marine heritage. We put a great deal of emphasis on ensuring our dealers have an in-depth understanding of the industry and provide a world-class service for customers. Total Marine are a credit to Fairline in both areas.”
