Business Overview:
This rather unique business was established by the vendors back in 1989 and has since built up a formidable reputation as a leading supplier of a wide range of top quality watercraft and powerboats on a nationwide scale.
This family marine business started initially by retailing small sports boats and outboard engines. In 1990 it became one of the first Sea. Doo watercraft dealers in the U.K, and soon became the largest of a growing network of dealers. With the watercraft market starting to boom the business developed and strengthened its position further in the market by importing watercraft direct from the manufacturers as this enabled them to more effectively satisfy demand and to also offer choice and value to their loyal customer base. This also ensured the business could and continues to provide the unrivaled product support you need to guarantee complete customer satisfaction in this high end market sector. After nearly 20 years of continually providing choice, value and unrivaled product support, it is easy to see why this business is the one of the U.K’s longest established suppliers of watercraft.
The business was the first U.K agent for Cobalt Boats in 1999, and built up a strong customer base through providing unrivaled product support. The Cobalt customer base provides the bulk of annual service revenues. When Cobalt boats diverted its product line to concentrate on bow riders, the business refreshed its product line-up and introduced Azure boats to the U.K market in 2008.
