This strategic alliance will introduce New Zealanders to Short Marine’s portfolio of globally acclaimed boat brands: Grady-White Boats, Valhalla Boatworks, Viking Yachts, and Capelli RIBs. Each of these brands has built a solid reputation for world class quality and performance. Grady-White’s renowned seaworthiness and diverse range of leisure and fishing boats, Valhalla’s power-packed high performance centre-console designs, Viking Yachts renowned as the world’s leading boat builder in Luxury Sports Fishing Yacht space and Capelli’s sleek Italian style make them top choices for anyone who loves life on the water.
“We couldn’t think of a better team than Sean and Lauren to help us make this expansion happen,” said Ryan Short. “They bring the same passion and care to their work that we do, particularly around their industry experience and their end to end customer service approach and offering, which aligns with Short Marine’s mission. We’re excited to bring world-class offshore performers like Grady-White, Viking and Valhalla to the New Zealand boating community.”
Sean added, “I’m excited to bring these brands to the New Zealand market. It is a real game changer to have these leading fishing and leisure brands on our shorelines. I’m also looking forward to crossing over into sales while still being able to provide our [new sales] customers with service and maintenance they know and trust.”
Based out of an established service centre in Tamaki Marine Park, Auckland, Sean has already brought in the first Grady-White, which is now listed and available for inspection.
