Catalina Yachts has announced that Specialty Yacht Sales in Vancouver, British Columbia, has been named Western Canada’s Exclusive Dealer for its award-winning sail and powerboat lines.

The two companies represent more than a century of marine expertise that strengthens the quality options and services available to western Canadian boaters. “We are excited to be partnering with a company that has helped shape the recreational marine industry in Western Canada. Specialty Yacht Sales is recognized for its sail and power expertise and exceptional customer service,” said Sharon Day, President of Catalina Yachts. “The partnership with Specialty Yachts is a natural fit for Catalina Yachts and for our customers in that region.”

Lawrence Fronczek, principal owner of Specialty Yacht Sales, is a big believer in raising the bar when it comes to industry standards. “We cherish our boaters and are absolutely thrilled to now be able to represent the full line of Catalina sail and powerboats,” he said. “This increases our range of new offerings, from entry level Sport boats to the Ocean passsagemakers, along with their True North power line.”

A new Catalina 425 sailboat will soon be available for viewing at Specialty Yachts’ docks on Granville Island. The Catalina 425 is the mid-size cruising yacht of the Ocean Class group, which also includes Catalina 385, and the Flagship 545, Cruising World’s Boat of the Year in 2020, as well as Sail magazine’s Best Boats winner. The power line includes the True North 38, True North 34 and the True North 34 Outboard Express.
