Yachts for Sale in Spain

The Spanish yacht market is much smaller than, say, the Italian market, but it is sure capable of striking any yacht fan. There are more than 25 active shipbuilding companies specializing in the private yacht sector. Among them are Sasga Yachts, Sciliano and, of course, Viper. The shipbuilding industry in this country plays a very important role in their economy, and makes up almost 25% of the GDP. This is quite explainable, given the geographical and historical presence of Spain in Europe is very advantageous. The first reason is that the country has exits to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and not your typical exits either; more than a half of the border lines come to the waterline, and the center of Spain is located only 300 km away from the ocean. The second reason is that Spain owns the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. In order to stay in touch economically and politically with such a distant "province", the Spanish had to build and maintain a serious fleet of commercial and private vessels. Nowadays, the Canaries and the Iberian Peninsula have their own well-developed yacht market, accessible to everyone looking for Yachts for Sale in Spain.
