Morris Yachts Expands Charter Business

We've expaned our charter business!NORTHEAST HARBOR, MAINE (February 11th, 2013) – Morris Yachts, America's premier builder and servicer of semi-custom and custom yachts, announces the expansion of their charter business and launches a brand new website: www.morrischarters.com.

"Morris is known for paying close attention to the finer details, both in our service yards and boat building business," says Cuyler Morris, President. "We apply this same philosophy to our charter business, making sure each guest receives the utmost level of care typically unseen in the charter world and that each boat is maintained to Morris's exacting standards."

Morris Yachts Luxury Charters is based out of the company's famous Northeast Harbor service yard marina in the heart of Maine's finest cruising grounds and offers a large charter fleet well-suited to exploring the intriguing coastline. The fleet currently consists of exquisite yachts made by Morris themselves as well as other famous builders such as Hinckley and Sabre Yachts. Morris is likely to expand their charter fleet even further before the charter season begins in late Spring.

To support Morris Yachts' Charter expansion, CEO Doug Metchick has put a dedicated Charter Team in place that will be available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and just a phone call away for charter guests during the season. "Expanding our charter operation is a natural for us," says Metchick. "I am confident our team will apply the same high level of care and attention to our charter customers that we do for our boat owners and service customers."

In keeping with Morris's family-owned spirit, each charter guest is treated to a special cruising guide written by none other than second-generation owner Cuyler Morris. In his guide, Morris acquaints guests with secret staircases, sandy coves, and charming sailing passages, all memories of his youth from growing up around the corner on the coast of Maine. With 3,000 islands to explore, the only fjord on the East Coast and hundreds of nearby cozy harbors, Morris Yachts Luxury Charters promises a unique charter vacation in an unparalleled part of the world and all this from the deck of some of the world's most exclusive boats. www.morrischarters.com
