YYachts partners with Marina Estrella to expand its Spanish presence, leveraging eleven regional offices and a dedicated luxury service network.
YYachts has signed an agreement with Marina Estrella for the representation of its luxury sailing yachts in Spain. Through Marina Estrella’s eleven offices across the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, YYachts further strengthens its nationwide presence in one of Europe’s most established sailing markets.
Spain has long been a strategic market for high-performance sailing yachts, with strong owner communities throughout the Mediterranean and a well-developed refit and service infrastructure. With offices ranging from the Costa Brava in the north to Andalucía in the south, as well as a strong presence in the Balearic Islands, Marina Estrella provides comprehensive geographic coverage and direct access to both domestic and international clients.
The headquarters for Marina Estrella’s representation of YYachts in Spain will be located in Puerto Portals, Mallorca, with Jerome Mainemare as the main contact. Close cooperation is planned with the YYachts Design & Development office in Palma as well as with the company’s after-sales service team, ensuring seamless support for owners and clients in the region.
“We are very pleased with the trust YYachts has placed in us,” said Javier Candela, Commercial Director of Marina Estrella. “The brand’s positioning, performance-oriented philosophy and build quality fit naturally within our premium portfolio.”
Founded over 40 years ago, Marina Estrella has built a solid reputation in the Spanish market as a leading yacht brokerage and dealership group, combining new yacht sales, brokerage, charter and after-sales services under one structure. The company’s long-term strategy has consistently focused on representing premium brands and maintaining a strong in-house commercial and technical team.
Michael Schmidt, founder of YYachts, commented: “Marina Estrella brings extensive market knowledge and a well-established client network. With our design office in Palma, our new winter service base in Barcelona and now Marina Estrella’s national coverage, we are ideally positioned to further develop our presence in Spain.”
