Sharing the same passion for continued development and improving the yachting experience, FunAir and Gulf Craft are a perfect fit.

The two innovative companies took the opportunity during the show to finalise their agreement that has been under discussion over the summer months, and have officially announced the partnership today at the start of METS.

John Courtney, Managing Director of Yachting at FunAir commented, “It has been a pleasure working on this partnership with Erwin Bamps and his team. When a company has the same values and attention to detail that we pride ourselves on at FunAir, then it makes sense to work together.

Surrounding ourselves with reliable partners that assist in building a holistic yachting experience is crucial to us.
