Marquis & Carver appoint Denison Yacht Sales to serve Southern and Central California
PULASKII, Wisc — Denison Yacht Sales has been appointed by Marquis and Carver Yachts to be the Southern and Central Californian dealer. Denison Yacht Sales is currently the Marquis and Carver dealer selling and servicing the boaters of South Florida. “With three key locations in Marina
del Rey, Newport Beach and San Diego, Denison Yachts Sales offers the per- fect combination of sales and service Californian boaters are searching for - a boat with a difference they can see, and quality they can feel,” said Rob Parmentier, Marquis and Carver Yachts, president and CEO. Denison will serve Marquis and Carver
owners and prospective owners from the California Mexican border north to the Monterey peninsula. “The interest level in Carver and
Marquis Yachts in South Florida has been outstanding. Therefore, it was only natural for us to expand our Marquis and Carver presence to our Southern California loca- tions when we were asked by Rob,” stated Bob Denison, president of Denison Yacht Sales. “When we too heard of the past success of the former dealer in this market area, we truly felt we hit a home run and are expecting great things to happen for both Denison and our boatbuilder partner.” Denison Yacht Sales will have their fi rst
boat, a Carver C37 Coupe, on display at the upcoming Newport Beach Boat Show May 12 - 15 at Lido Village in Newport Beach. To learn more information on Denison Yacht Sales, visit

trap tangled around its mouth and other parts of its body. A team worked for fi ve hours until to free the animal April 21. Kootnz says without help the whale would have died from her injuries.
