That time of year has come once again, much to the chagrin of those who enjoy their summers on Narragansett Bay.  With Fall comes the annual ritual of hauling your boat, winterizing systems, and making plans for off-season improvements that will make the subsequent sailing season more enjoyable.  If you currently own a boat and have questions regarding the winterization process, don't hesitate to call your crew at Fleet Yacht Sales.  We're always willing to offer our experience when it comes to winterizing and making sure your boat weathers the off-season. 

If you are currently pursuing life on the water and the purchase of your first or next boat, give us a call to discuss your goals.  Fall is a great time to shop for either a new Hunter sailboat or a clean, well-equipped brokerage boat.  With regard to new boats and Hunter Marine, lead time for some of the Hunter's keelboat models is already mid-Spring.  If you're seriously considering a Hunter keelboat for the 2012 sailing season, now is the time to act!  On the brokerage side, we have a number of new brokerage offerings hitting our inventory in the next few weeks, so be sure to check the 'Pre-Owned Sail and Power' link on our homepage.  If you don't see your ideal boat on our website, we can find it for you.  We have access to almost every brokerage offering on Yachtworld, which means we can work with you as a buyer's agent on the purchase of your dream boat.  Give us a call so we may outline your search parameters and start the hunt for the perfect boat that ideally suits your needs.  Another reminder on a note we have previously emphasized: the clean brokerage boats will disappear as the off-season progresses.  Quite simply, start your shopping soon if you want to have access to the cream of the crop!

Fleet Yacht Sales is proud to be your full-service Rhode Island Hunter dealer and premier brokerage house, serving Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.  Whether you're buying, selling, or simply dreaming, we're happy to be of assistance!  Lend Fleet Yacht Sales the opportunity to facilitate your boating lifestyle and help you enjoy southern New England's coastline.

Spring is upon us and the crew at Fleet Yacht Sales has taken the initiative to bring a Spring boat show back to Narragansett Bay, in the form of the 1st Annual Rhode Island Boat Show.  Over the past few weeks, we have spoken with local brokerages, dealerships, and a wide array of marine vendors and put together an impressive collection of marine services, all of whom are ready to kick off the 2011 boating season in grand fashion!  In a few short weeks, all of us will be gathered at Bristol Marine in Bristol, RI with boats afloat and land-based displays, covering all of your boating needs.  The Rhode Island Boat Show runs April 30 & May 1 and will offer everything from new and pre-owned boats in the water to marine electronics and canvas, to sailing instruction and marine photography.  For a comprehensive list of participating marine vendors, visit www.rhodeislandboatshow.com.  We have a our fingers crossed for beautiful, sunny skies, but will have a large 100' tent covering our displays in the event of inclement weather.  We'll have the grill going and the docks open, so join us as we welcome warmer days and kick off the 2011 boating season!! 

In anticipation of the Rhode Island Boat Show, we have splashed our 2009 Hunter 45DS and 2011 Hunter 41 DS.  Both of these new boats are currently moored at our docks and are available for viewing.  If you've been waiting for an opportunity to see these boats afloat, give us a call and we'll schedule a time to give you the grand tour! 

Fleet Yacht Sales will also be displaying the Hunter 33, Hunter 22, and Hunter 15 at Bristol Marine during the Rhode Island Boat Show and we'll have a cross-section of select brokerage boats available for viewing in Bristol.  Information on all of our listings, plus many more, will be accessible via Fleet Yacht Sales and participating brokerages atttending the show. 

We're excited for a tremendous 2011 boating season, and we hope you share the same sentiment!!  We look forward to seeing you at the 1st Annual Rhode Island Boat Show!!!

                       

We'll have three new Hunter keelboats on display this year in Boston, including the all new Hunter 33, Hunter 39, and Hunter 45DS, and the hot-selling Hunter 18 trailerable.  To complement our new-boat offering, we'll have a colorful display of our complete selection of clean brokerage boats.  We have brokerage boats representing every size and price range, so swing by the FYS booth to see how you can hit the water affordably on a clean, pre-owned vessel.
