Charters has opened a new corporate charter division
catering to business clients who want to hold team-building events, from product
launches to anniversary parties to board meetings. The division is managed by
Sarah Branson. Sunseeker Charters´ headquarters, located in Poole, Dorset, U.K.

Coast of Australia and two new 66-foot Manhattans, available next season in the

Ann Marie
Teixeira lost her four-month
battle with cancer on December 30. Teixeira was a charter marketing
coordinator with The Sacks
Group and was well-known and
respected in the yachting community. She grew up in coastal New England and
graduated cum laude from Bentley College in Massachusetts with a degree in
marketing. Her involvement in the marine industry began in the early 1990s when
she coordinated sailing and power yacht charters for a South Florida company
with operations in the Bahamas and Caribbean. She joined The Sacks Group in
February 2002, bringing to the team strong marketing and public relations
skills. She will be remembered for her strength of character, her love of life
and her sense of humor.
