As part of Kaiserwerft‘s strategy to expand their established brand in the Middle East, the company was looking for a trusted partner to support the brand going forward. The increasing number of Kaiserwerft yacht owners in the region requires strong aftersales as well as local service support. Safwa Marine fulfills the needs and aspirations of super yacht owners and captains who require world standard yacht services that are also fully integrated into a 360 degree yacht management platform.
