Buying a dayboat or RIB is only the beginning of the relationship with its builder, particularly for owners who keep the vessel away from home. SACS Marine has opened its first Italian owner lounge in partnership with Nautica Bertelli at Santa Margherita Ligure.
The new location brings consultation, configuration and after-sales support closer to the Ligurian boating community. It is a service format announcement rather than a new model launch.
A base near the marina
The SACS Lounge includes offices and access to a dedicated marina, giving clients a physical point of contact. Owners can discuss a boat's specification or later service with local representatives.
The location may be convenient for regional visitors, but berth and service availability need their own confirmation. A lounge opening does not guarantee an immediate appointment or a particular craft on display.
Ownership beyond delivery
The company frames the approach around assisting customers through configuration, handover and longer-term use. That can matter to small-boat owners who need help with warranty or seasonal maintenance.
A dealer network is most valuable when technical responsibilities are clear. The exact role of the lounge versus a workshop should be agreed before booking work.
A Ligurian business development
Santa Margherita Ligure is within a region with a strong marine and leisure-boat culture. The announcement provides another potential contact for SACS owners visiting the Italian coast.
LBG uses the official shipyard announcement and image, keeping coverage to the relevant RIB and dayboat market rather than presenting larger vessels as under-12-metre production boats. Vessel length remains a separate editorial requirement.
