“As builders of award-winning brands such as Majesty Yachts and Nomad Yachts, Gulf Craft was seeking a service partner that could accommodate their range of yachts from 55 feet to 175 feet, which LMC is very well positioned to do,” said Colin Kiley, Executive Vice President of LMC. “We are proud to build upon our successful relationship with Gulf Craft, a builder we hold in very high regard. “
LMC has over 1600 total vessel visits and more than 1300 haul-outs per year.
“The United States is the most mature market in the world, with the highest number of boats in one country.

LMC’s facilities share the same ethos as Gulf Craft, and we are glad to have them as our US service partner.”
“We are happy to welcome Gulf Craft brands to a growing list of prestigious builders that choose to call Lauderdale Marine Center their Yard of Choice,” added Kiley.
