For Release
Upon Receipt
June 30, 2006: Miami, Fl—Mari Juliao, with more than 20
years of diverse international sales and marketing experience
in the resort and residential real estate industries, has joined
RaynMaker, Inc., www.RaynMaker.net as its Mexico representative
for fractional yacht ownership sales. Two vacation ownership professionals,
Ray G. Knight and Jose Cruz, head RaynMaker, a sales and marketing
organization based in Miami, FL. The company has teamed with Monocle
Yachts www.MonocleYachts.com —the worldwide leader in the
emerging trend of fractional ownership of yachts, megayachts
and super yachts—to expand its sales and marketing activities
in South Florida, Latin America, Europe and the Caribbean.
Juliao, headquartered in Cancun and with an
additional sales office in
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, is the fi rst of several expected international
additions to the RaynMaker organization. “Mari’s experience—and
success—in sales of residential, resort properties and fractional
ownership in Mexico makes her a perfect edition to our international
sales and marketing team,” said RaynMaker CEO Knight, a
former senior vice president for Interval International. “With
her understanding of how to reach and penetrate the upscale Mexican
market, we are fortunate to be able to have someone of her caliber
join RaynMaker.” Monocle Yachts, with more than 40 vessels
under management, offers fractional interests in vessels ranging
from 68 to 215 feet. Dr. Loren Simkowitz, heads fi rm that possesses
over 75 years of combined yacht ownership and asset management
experience, RaynMaker is launching sales for Monocle in Miami
and in Spanish and Portuguese speaking markets as well as through
an agent network in Latin America, the Caribbean and southern
Europe.
The yachts under Monocle management range, in
cost, from approximately $3 million to $25 million. By purchasing
a ‘fraction’ of the fully crewed yacht, owners pay
only for the time they use (in four or ten week increments) rather
than paying to own and maintain the yacht full-time.
According to Knight, whose family were pioneers
in the worldwide vacation ownership industry in the late 1970s
as founders and fi nanciers of Miami-based Interval International—now
part of the Interactive Corporation (IAC) group of companies—prices
for a 1/4 share (four weeks) of a megayacht ranges from $130,000
to $7.8 million. The yachts rotate among popular vacation destinations
such as the Caribbean, Florida, Hawaii, Northern California, the
Mediterranean and northeast US depending on owners’ seasonal
preferences.
