2019 Recap | Galati Yacht Sales Year-In-Review
2019 Recap | Galati Yacht Sales Year-In-Review
We are very excited for 2020 since it marks Galati Yacht Sales 50th Anniversary. As we look forward to celebrating with customers, employees, and industry partners this year, we’d be remiss if we didn’t give 2019 a proper send-off.
At the close of the year, GYS once again surpassed our goal of selling more than a boat a day with the final number of boats sold surpassing more than 400! The boating market remains strong and more first-timers are joining the ranks.
