FIRST Choice-owned Sunsail will continue to invest in specialist operators after completing the £2.9m acquisition of French-based Stardust Marine.
The deal brings the number of destinations featured by Sunsail to 22 and follows a pledge by the company to expand its operations under the First Choice ownership.
A spokesman said further acquisitions may follow.
Stardust operates 250 yachts in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Tahiti and holds a 51% stakeholding in US company Sun Yachts.
First Choice chief executive Peter Long said the acquisition brings a strong European customer base to the group.
“It broadens the geographical spread of our business to European markets with similar characteristics to those in which we already operate,” he said.
