Turner Marine was awarded "Best of Mobile 2010" by the United States Commerce Association.  We are a two time winner of this award, with our first year being 2009.  Not only is it a great honor to win this award once, but twice in a row is a big accomplishment for us.  USCA gives out about two hundred of these awards each year and Turner Marine was the only company to receive it two years in a row.  Thanks to all of our customers, employees and friends for their support. 
 
 
 
 
 
Catalina Yachts
 
 
Catalina logo New surprises from Catalina Yachts coming  soon!
 
 
We know  through the grapevine that Catalina is developing a new mid-thirty foot boat, styled along the lines of the popular 445.  We don't have any of the details yet, but I am told I may have some specs next month on a new boat.  My guess!  A low, sleek freeboard look like the 445 with great cruising accommodations, ease of handling and more. 
 
It is great to have something new to look forward to.  If you are interested in a boat this size, drop me a line at [email protected] and I will contact you with the info when I get it.

Marina and Yard News
 
Hurricane Storage Yard: 
 
Finally ready.....the most significant improvements in any yacht repair and storage yard on the gulf coast. Turner Marine has raised the elevation of the storage and work yard to a level which will keep your boat as safe as it can be in a hurricane or tropical storm.  AND BEST OF ALL, your insurance company will cover the cost of having your vessel hauled in many cases and stored on the yard as it is in their best interest to do so. 
 
We have also installed easily accessible water and power outlets for all of our "do it yourself" customers as well as the many outside contractors who use our facility regularly.  Along with our new 50 ton travelift with a 24' inside clearance, we have the capacity to haul and block a very wide range of yachts on our friendly and accommodating yard.
 
 
Yard Project 2  
Hurricane and tropical storm storage-none better! 
 
 Yard Project 3
Power and water now available for your work porjects!
 
Yard Project 1 
Highest yard on the gulf for hurricane storage! 
 
     Don't forget, plenty of room for you looper's to leave your boat here for whatever reason!  Just put her in a slip and leave instructions in case of a tropical storm and she can be out of harms way for the season!

In 1995 "Spirit of America" was a nice Henri Wauquiez 47 which the current owner found in the Caribbean.  He then brought the boat to Lake of the Ozark's boat yard  and spent 10 years recasting the boat in a 2005 51' Wauquiez which is one of the most beautiful boats I have seen in the past 17 years of selling boats.  Wauquiez were premier boats in Europe already, but the time and effort put in this boat made it a truly beautiful, great sailing, easy to handle world cruiser.
 
 It started pricing at the $550,000 range indicative of  what had been spent on the boat and has been reduced to $299,000 which is an unbelievable price for this boat.  You just have to sail on it, see the beautiful interior, feel the power and enjoy the ease of handling of this boat to appreciate it.  Click on the picture below and see all the wonderful extras on this great cruiser/racer!  Designed for a world wide trip!
