Beneteau dealer Fox’s Yacht Sales re-launched under new ownership

Fox’s Yacht Sales, a UK-based Beneteau yacht dealer and used yacht broker, has been re-launched under new ownership.

Fox’s Yacht Sales, which is located at Fox’s Marina & Boatyard in Ipswich on the English east coast, now represents Beneteau for its models in the east coast region. The news comes after the dealership’s previous owners announced their retirement.

Speaking at its marina base in Ipswich, Fox’s Yacht Sales’ new owner and director, Tim Long (pictured above with co-owner Sarah Long), says he is excited by the prospect of providing a dedicated service to the East Coast yachting community.

“We are absolutely delighted to have been re-appointed to represent Beneteau for its industry-leading range of yachts and to have the opportunity to build on that successful relationship,” says Long.

“In addition, our expanding yacht brokerage offers a wide range of used craft, and we very much look forward to helping customers with a competitive package to buy their next boat or sell their existing one. Please get in touch with us to see how we can help.”

Fox’s Marina is one of the largest yacht service marinas in the UK. Long says the sale of the full range of new Beneteau yachts and motorboats remains at the heart of the business, alongside advice on and supply of genuine Beneteau parts.

“We are delighted to say that Robert Shufflebottom, who had intended to retire at the end of last year, has agreed to remain with us for a while, to ensure continuity of the high standards of service provided to our customers,” Long adds.

Fox’s Yacht Sales also offers a full brokerage service of pre-owned sailing and motor yachts.
