Astondoa, a shipyard based in Santa Pola, has appointed a new distributor to operate within the Spanish market. Strengthening commercial efforts in the Catalonia region is a strategic move for the company, marking the start of a partnership built on shared values such as experience, commitment, efficiency, and a genuine passion for the sea.
“We are thrilled about this new alliance to promote our brand in Catalonia, and the proven experience of the Hermanos Guasch team in motor yacht consulting and sales will help us compete in this dynamic market. We are two family-centered companies that see this collaboration from a similar perspective,” stated Jesús Astondoa, CEO of Astondoa.
Founded in 1994, Hermanos Guasch has grown from a sailing passion and family ethos into a respected name in maritime distribution, with a presence across Girona, Barcelona, and Tarragona. The new Astondoa dealer will represent the brand in the commercial domain in the region.
“It is an honor for Hermanos Guasch to join the Astondoa universe, a national firm with broad recognition and an international footprint, and to do so as an official dealer in Catalonia. It is a privilege that they have entrusted our company. This partnership aligns culture with the shipyard’s virtues, offering a broad range from sport sailing to luxury, including sizable boats with high versatility and customizable spaces. Hermanos Guasch prioritizes quality and exclusivity for its customers. We are aligned with the values that define the Astondoa family and its strong work ethic,” said Rodolf Guasch, CEO of Hermanos Guasch.
Astondoa notes that its vessels are the result of more than a century of accumulated experience. Today, four generations have observed the boats evolve within the company. Each vessel is unique, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and tailored to meet the tastes and requirements of each client, reflecting a long-standing tradition of bespoke craftsmanship.
In this coordinated effort, the shipyard emphasizes the importance of local presence, service networks, and a shared commitment to maritime excellence in the Catalonia market. The alliance aims to deliver personalized support, ensuring that clients across the region can access Astondoa’s extensive lineup—from sport models to luxury cruisers—while benefiting from the enhanced service model offered by Hermanos Guasch.
