MAJOR YACHT SERVICES - Key Persons
With 7 years as an engineer in the Royal Australian Navy and 8 years as a chief engineer on Superyachts in Europe and America, Geoff Majer founded Major Yacht Services in 1997 to cater for the growing demand of Superyachts visiting Australian waters.
Having maybe stepped onto a yacht once in his early childhood, Les has very little knowledge about yachts other than that they cost allot of money to maintain. For what he lacks in seamanship he makes up in his stringent account keeping and advice on taxation law. Having now worked very closely with MYS for several years Les not only knows what a desalination plant is but how a foreign travelling yacht can claim one GST free.
