Stuart, Fl. – Grand Banks Yachts Limited (GBY:SP) — Grand Banks Yachts and Palm Beach Motor Yachts, divisions of Grand Banks Yachts Ltd., are thrilled to announce the expansion of their sales and service operations to the West Coast of the United States.

The new office is located within the world-renowned Kona Kai Marina in San Diego, California and will be managed by former Grand Banks sales representative, Michael Kusler, an experienced yacht sales specialist and avid boater.

With more than two decades of experience in new and pre-owned luxury yacht sales, including a long history of representing Grand Banks Yachts, Michael is a natural fit for this key role. His boat building expertise, customer-first philosophy, and extensive knowledge of Grand Banks’ lineage, combined with his deep-rooted understanding of the Southern California boating landscape, make him an invaluable asset as Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts strengthens its West Coast presence.

“Michael’s comprehensive understanding of the Grand Banks brand, paired with his background in the yachting industry, makes him an ideal fit to represent our two amazing brands, Grand Banks Yachts and Palm Beach Motor Yachts, in Southern California and on the West Coast,” says Mark Richards, CEO of the GB Marine Group.

“His longstanding commitment to customer service aligns perfectly with our values. We currently have 13 new models under construction across both brands, so the timing is ideal for Michael to join our team.”

With a lifestyle that celebrates the boating lifestyle, and as a proud host city of previous America’s Cups, San Diego is an ideal location for Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ line-up of long-distance cruising and performance motor yachts.

“Today’s Grand Banks models are at another level and learning more about the brands’ vision for delivering best-in-class performance, long-range cruisers got me hooked from day one. I’m excited to introduce the extensive portfolio of premium custom-built Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts models to both my current and future customers,” says Michael.

The Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ factory direct model creates the ideal framework to fulfill demand through expansion into new markets, providing a premium standard of service and support to existing and new owners.

As Grand Banks Yachts and Palm Beach Motor Yachts continue to grow, innovate, and introduce new models, this move reflects the brand’s commitment to new owners and bringing its world-class yachts to yachting enthusiasts across the globe.
