Manitowoc Marina expands, named Tartan dealer for Great Lakes

Manitowoc Marina is expanding its operations by opening new yacht sales offices in Chicago, Illinois; and Sandusky, Ohio.

As part of its expansion, Manitowoc Marina now offers Tartan sailboats across the Great Lakes region.

Manitowoc Marina says this expansion is fuelled by the strong growth of Axopar and Brabus Marine across the Great Lakes. The firm says the proven success of these brands has enabled it to broaden its horizons and reinforce its presence in key boating markets.

“We are incredibly excited about this expansion and the opportunity to bring our exceptional range of boats, including Tartan sailboats, to more customers around the Great Lakes,” says Rich Larsen, president of Manitowoc Marina. “Our new offices in Chicago and Sandusky are not just about growth; they are a testament to our commitment to providing unparalleled service and a diverse selection of high-quality yachts to our clients.”

The new yacht sales offices in Chicago and Sandusky will offer a complete suite of services, including new boat sales, brokerage services, and customer support. The offices are located at 400 E Randolph Street, Chicago, IL, and 2035 1st St, Sandusky, OH, respectively.

Manitowoc Marina is a full-service marina facility with boat sales and repairs. It operates Manitowoc Marina of Manitowoc, WI; Nestegg Marine of Marinette, WI; and Manitowoc Marina Yacht Sales, with locations in Traverse City, MI, Chicago, IL, and Sandusky, OH.

Tartan Marine is an American boat builder based in Painesville, Ohio, near Lake Erie. The company specialises in the design and manufacture of fibreglass sailboats, including the Tartan 455 (pictured above).
