Denison Yachting is excited to announce an exclusive partnership with JFA Yachts. Denison will represent the French shipyard's sail and power catamarans under the Long Island brand globally, with initial focus on the 70-100' range.

JFA Yachts' Long Island catamarans are renowned for their round the world and transatlantic capability. This is possible due to their aluminum hulls and extreme focus on lightweight construction, giving them a huge performance advantage and differentiation to the rest of the catamaran leisure market. The yachts are known for their sleek design and quality craftsmanship from the shipyard's long-standing partners, Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group and Darnet Design. Each model is highly customizable, combining spacious layouts with cutting-edge technology for ultimate comfort and efficiency. Built for long-distance cruising, they are designed to handle diverse sea conditions while offering luxurious interiors and expansive outdoor spaces. The Long Island range is celebrated for its stylish aesthetic, eco-friendly features, and remarkable attention to detail.

"With a Long Island 85 recently sold and a new-build next generation Long Island 87 set for delivery later this year, it's a privilege to represent JFA Yachts for the America's," said David Johnson, Denison broker and U.S. representative for the brand. "Alongside my colleague Simon in Europe, I'm proud to promote a shipyard that leads the world in building aluminum-hulled sailing and power catamarans—vessels purpose-built for owners seeking to explore the most remote parts of the world in total comfort."

In turn, Simon Turner, will lead sales efforts in Europe and the rest of the world. With 20 years of experience and over $200 million in catamaran sales, he commented, "I am delighted to join the team and work alongside JFA Yachts. These exceptional, round-the-world-capable catamarans deliver an unmatched level of performance, luxury, and safety that is unparalleled anywhere else."

"We are truly excited to collaborate with Denison Yachting. This partnership aligns perfectly with our values, and we believe it is destined for great success as we work together to offer the finest sail and power catamarans to clients around the globe," said Frédéric Jaouen, CEO of JFA Yachts. "We pride ourselves on attentively listening to our clients' needs, exercising discretion, and developing trusted relationships. The savoir-faire of our team has earned JFA Yachts a reputation as one of the most respected shipyards in the world, known for producing yachts of bespoke quality. Our yachts, timeless and elegant, are recognized for their exceptional craftsmanship and technical refinement."
