OnBoard Magazine - Summer 2014

2 BLUEWATER IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE for our organization to present you with this magazine that not only marks a year and half into the successful merger of Bluewater and Jarrett Bay Yacht Sales, but more so, showcases themany people and groups that have contributed to the accomplishments in our combined 50+ year history. While our management and sales teams knew that we would be better united as one than standing alone, we have been truly blessed beyond our expectations with how well this joint venture is progressing. Bluewater is fortunate to have managing partners that have made great strides with their respective business endeavors, and inherently understand what it takes to be successful. These partners have built a strong management and support team, and a company culture at Bluewater that demonstrates daily the value of working together. We realize that boating is really about people, not just boats or equipment. It is our mission to maintain our reputation as a highly respected, professional sales team that is desirable to do business with by all entities - manufacturers, customers, lenders, employees and sales professionals. As we continue to build a support system that allows our team members to foster rewarding careers, it is done with the primary objective of enriching our customers’ lives with better boating experiences. With a focus on people, what differentiates Bluewater from our competitors is even more evident. As we benchmark ourselves against our competition, we realize that Bluewater Yacht Sales and our sister companies of world-class yacht yards have the highly skilled human horsepower supporting our sales efforts that few other organizations can offer. This distinguished- by-design structure allows us to stand alone in providing our customers steadfast support from point of contact to after-sales service. Not only can our sales team offer their vast boating knowledge and sales expertise, we can provide added support through the broad scope of services offered at our three yacht yards in Hampton, Virginia as well as Wanchese and Beaufort, North Carolina. All of these facilities and their staff are resolutely ready to support the success of our sales organization. Within the pages of this magazine, you will find the results of another successfully met objective to only represent the finest FROM THE HELM
