Mickey H. met another couple at the Fountaine Pajot factory in La Rochelle whose dealer did not meet their expectations. Mickey's experience was smooth sailing with the Atlantic Cruising Yachts staff on the ground at the Fountaine Pajot factory guiding him every step of the way. --- "Another aspect of differentiating ACY from other dealers… when I was in La Rochelle I met another couple that bought a Saona 47. We got to talking and turns out their dealer: 1. Didn’t have a local rep, 2. Their dealer… essentially once they took possession of the boat in La Rochelle, the dealer was gone - didn’t support them at all. They had to hire a local representative, a local French person who was their rep, was their “Baptiste” - Baptiste being the ACY rep I had - They had to hire their own. And it caused them some frustration and some anxiety just trying to maneuver through the process. So that’s another benefit to ACY."
