Since SI Yachts first opened in 1964, founder Frank Bongiorno has dedicated himself to providing an exceptional level of customer service, expert product knowledge, and unwavering fairness to his clients. He expects the same from every sales professional that works at Staten Island Yacht Sales. In 1995, SI Yachts became a "Viking Sport Cruiser" dealer, which would later on become simply Princess Yachts.
Despite an incredibly tumultuous year in 2020, SI Yachts is ecstatic to announce that our team has been named the #1 Princess dealer in the U.S. and SI Yachts Sales Professional David Hallinan will take home the award for Top Princess Salesperson of the Year.
(See the announcement below at the Virtual Princess Yachts dealer meeting!)
"We are thrilled to be a Princess dealer, one of the most esteemed luxury yacht builders in the world," said Jay Hendrix, Vice President of SI Yachts. "Being named the top Princess dealer in this environment, after the shutdown of our marina and sales facility due to COVID-19, is a true testament not only to the quality of the Princess product, but also to the culture of our company that was instilled in all of us by Frank. Our team never stops working for our customers and especially in a time when boating has become such an important part of our lives."
"There was strong demand all year long for Princess," said David Hallinan, Princess Brand Manager for SI Yachts. "We saw repeat customers wanting to move into a bigger or newer model, but we also saw some new boaters come into the family. Just three weeks ago I delivered a brand-new Princess F70 to a customer which was his very first boat. Princess has continued to innovate, produce exciting new models, and the results are tangible."
The Princess 78-foot models were very popular this year with SI Yachts selling a V78, S78, and two Y78's. The excitement is also growing as the new X95 Super Flybridge has made its debut, as well as the recent announcement of the new X80.
