I was looking for a catamaran to buy in the Antilles but was based in the south of France and got in touch with A&C Yacht Brokers initially by email.
After more regular contacts, we selected a few boats to view and came to see them in Martinique.
Dominique Amice, the head of A&C Yacht Brokers, dealt with everything for us, from hiring a car at the airport, finding a really nice little hotel near his house, as well as visiting several catamarans withus. Then, because we are difficult customers, he told us when we left that he would find a real gem, and a rare one at that, an Athena 38 Maestro.
A short while after, not only did he keep his word, but it was under our noses in France !
A&C Yacht Brokers are competent and knowledgeable about sailing and, furthermore, have an impressive client-base ranging from Australia to the USA, including South America and France also, of course. They deal with all customs and maritime formalities, but also with leasing and buying back through financial companies where necessary.
A big thank you to Dominique Amice and his team.
