Worldwide yacht charter company Sunsail, the sailing holiday brand of the world’s leading tourism organisation TUI Group, has agreed a strategic partnership with Trinity Marine, trading as yacht charter company Whitsunday Rent A Yacht (WRAY) in Queensland, Australia. This partnership will strengthen both companies’ positions in the Australian yacht charter market as well as providing sailors based in Australia with even more access to worldwide chartering destinations through the Sunsail wide range of regions in their programme.
WRAY will be responsible for Sunsail’s base on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, managing the Sunsail fleet and all domestic yacht charter holiday sales. They will also become an agent for Sunsail’s other international destinations ranging from the Caribbean, Mediterranean and other exotic locations.
The Sydney office, expertly led by David Reid, will continue to be responsible for holiday sales to Sunsail’s international destinations as well as continuing to manage sales and marketing for Le Boat and The Moorings, Sunsail’s sister companies. There are no changes to the Sunsail yacht ownership, Sunsail brokerage, Leopard Catamarans and partnership with YachtDomain in Australia led by general manager David Flynn.
“This decision to partner with Whitsunday Rent A Yacht gives us a huge advantage in the Australian market,” said Simon Cross, President of Sunsail. “WRAY has amassed a vast amount of expertise in the sailing area and the domestic Australian charter market which we will be able to utilise, while maintaining the very high standards that Sunsail customers have come to expect.”
“We are excited to be partnering with Sunsail, the world’s leading yacht charter brand,” said Sedron Hooper, General Manager of Trinity Marine. “By combining Sunsail’s fleet in Hamilton Island with our expertise we can offer customers unrivalled quality and service when they charter a yacht in the Whitsundays. Now we can offer alternative destinations in Europe and the Caribbean, something we haven’t been able to do before. We are very excited about growing our business in partnership with Sunsail.”
