Written by

PB Europe, Protector Boats’ European distributor, has expanded its network by appointing Quay. JE in Jersey and Netherlands-based Watersportscentrum as new strategic partners, strengthening the brand’s presence in both the leisure and commercial marine sectors.

The partnerships enhance Protector’s reach in key European markets, supporting growing demand for inter-island travel and multirole commercial vessels. Quay. JE showcased the Protector Targa 380 at the Jersey Boat Show (2–4 May 2026), while Watersportscentrum will promote Protector boats across the BENELUX commercial sector and at regional on-water events.
