Fraser Yachts is delighted to announce the arrival of Jose Arana into the Sales Division, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Jose has always had a passion for yachting. Originally from Mexico City, he grew up sailing with his father and traveling the world by boat.

After completing his studies in International Business at Boston University, Jose began his career with yachts at Ferretti of America in 1997. It was here that he acquired the knowledge of relationship management, which became a valuable asset to him. 

Jose also worked in the marketing division of several Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft, Ericsson and Bell South. After a few years, he decided to leave the corporate world becoming a full time yacht broker along with his father.  

In 2004 Jose and his father joined Koch, Newton & Partners where they worked together to strengthen the Latin American Market and exploring new business development opportunities, such as sponsorships and new marketing venues. In 2006 Merrill-Stevens acquired Koch, Newton & Partners, where Jose continued to excel at increasing the Latin America and European markets.

Jose arrives at Fraser Yachts with great experience and knowledge of the yachting industry. His combination of practical and managerial experience will be an asset to the company.
