Sandy Hook Yachts Strengthens Its Gulf Coast Presence in Tarpon Springs

Sandy Hook Yachts is proud to formally expand its Gulf Coast presence with the completed build-out of our Tarpon Springs, Florida office.

From Dunedin to Tarpon Springs

Our Gulf Coast journey began with an office in nearby Dunedin. Following the severe 2024 hurricane season that significantly impacted Florida’s west coast, including widespread storm surge and marina damage throughout the Tampa Bay region. The Dunedin location was ultimately lost.

Rather than retreat, we committed to rebuilding smarter and stronger.

Over the past several months, we have been developing Tarpon Springs into a long-term Gulf Coast hub. That work is now complete, and the office is officially ready to support owners throughout the region.

Brands Represented in Tarpon Springs

The Tarpon Springs office supports four core brands within the Sandy Hook Yachts portfolio.

Sabre and Back Cove continue as foundational Downeast brands for Sandy Hook Yachts, while De Antonio Yachts and Marex Boats represent the refined European cruising and performance segment that continues gaining momentum across Florida.

This balanced portfolio allows us to serve both traditional and modern buyers from one focused Gulf Coast location.
