Argo Yachting has a growing presence in the stunning Balearics. Looking after new and loyal customers throughout their yachting journey who wish to keep their yachts in Mallorca and Ibiza, Argo offer guidance in new and used boats for sale, finance and insurance options, maintenance, retrofit, delivery and assistance in securing berthing.
For those looking for a base all year round, the office in the sought-after marina of Puerto Portals has been reimagined - part of a fantastic redevelopment programme offering more luxury boutiques and restaurants as well as a beautiful beach. To the south east of Mallorca, there’s an office in the tranquil white-washed secluded cove of Cala D’Or. Furthermore, Argo has an impressive aftersales service centre in Son Bugadelles. And just a short hope across the water to vibrant Ibiza, Argo Yachting has an office base in Marina Botafoc opposite Ibiza old town.
David Walder – General Sales Manager, Balearics
Having spent many years in the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong working at a multibrand yacht dealership, David joined the business in 2022 to head up the Argo Yachting Balearics sales department.
At the weekends David can be found out hiking and loves the Tramuntana mountain range, the village of Orient is a favourite stop for a well-earned lunch. When it is too hot to be out on the trails, David spends long summer afternoons at anchor in Illetas, soaking up the sunshine with friends with the occasional spot of paddle boarding in the spectacular bay.
Nigel James – Sales Manager, Balearics
Nigel set up the Mallorca arm of sister company, Princess Motor Yacht Sales, 22 years ago in Puerto Portals, which is also now the main Balearic home of Argo Yachting.
Pretty much a local, Nigel enjoys the unspoilt remote island of Puerto de Campos with crystal clear sea, golden beaches and sand dunes. ‘I actually also like to visit the interior & north of the Island, it’s rather underrated, especially the historic walled towns’, says Nigel.
Tracy Neale – Business Development Manager, Balearics
Having experience in automotive aftercare with Mercedez-Benz in Dubai, Tracy joined Argo Yachting seven years ago in sales and business development, and is often based in the Cala D’Or office.
‘On the weekends, my family and I love to take a drive to the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range for a scenic walk and lunch with fantastic views. I also enjoy the buzz of Christmas on the island and the Pollença wine festival in April,’ enthuses Tracy.
Ruben Haller – Progress Chaser, Balearics
Ruben is responsible for the stock boats and ensures they are well maintained ready for client viewing. He is also involved with yacht handovers with owners, sea trials and demos with clients, boat deliveries and training with owners. Previously, he was a freelance charter captain and enjoyed driving many different brands of boats around the Balearics.
‘My favourite way to spend a day off is with my daughter at Cala Mayor beach or taking a boat out together and dropping the anchor at Punta Negra. I also enjoy cruising around to Sant Elm, and heading ashore to have an amazing lunch at Es Raor which has fantastic views and serves delicious food.’
Juliano Meirelles – Sales Broker, Balearics
Juliano takes care of sales for Argo Yachting boats and is also the yacht manager for the Princess Motor Yacht Sales fractional ownership programme, YachtQuarters. Before joining Argo Yachting, he worked as a crew member on a yacht in Mallorca.
When Juliano has a day off he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. ‘I like to visit beaches both by boat and by car in the summer and explore the countryside off season’, he says.
Gordon Van Wijk – Sales Executive, Ibiza
Gordon’s role is to make sure everything in the Marina Botafoc office runs smoothly, welcomes clients and generates sales. He also has a great working relationship with the on-site mechanic, Joel, who is an amazing addition to the team. Before life on the white isle, he was living in the South of France running a yacht refit and repair company for 13 years.
Gordon says, ‘A perfect weekend day is when we drive to the beach in my Saab Cabrio for a swim in the sea followed by a big lunch of Paella and Sangria.’
