Aquila Power Catamarans continues its ambitious global expansion with the announcement of two new international dealers, strengthening its presence across Europe and Asia. This strategic growth follows recent dealer partnerships in the Caribbean and Pacific regions.

Aquila expands its global presence with the appointment of Selestiboat as its dealer in France. In Thailand, the company welcomes Primus Marine, which will operate from locations in Phuket and Bangkok, strengthening Aquila’s position in Southeast Asia’s expanding marine sector. “These new partnerships are part of our ongoing global growth strategy,” says Nick Harvey, Chief Revenue Officer for Aquila. “Each dealer brings deep regional expertise and an intimate understanding of their local markets, ensuring a more personalized experience for boaters worldwide.

Dominique LECLER, of Selestiboat in France, expressed enthusiasm about joining the Aquila dealer network: “Selestiboat is extremely excited to partner with Aquila Power Catamarans as the exclusive distributor for their brand in France. This is a significant step forward in our mission to bring innovative, high-quality products to the French market. With a shared commitment to excellence, we are confident that this partnership will not only strengthen our presence in the region but also create new opportunities for growth and success. Together, we aim to deliver an outstanding experience to French consumers and build a lasting, impactful brand legacy.”
 
Nick adds, ” with the French dealer network completed, Aquila now has a full-service network around the Mediterranean covering Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Turkey. Aquila owners will be able to reply on this network of professionally trained Aquila representatives for worry free cruising around the Mediterranean.”

“It is tremendously exciting to be partnering with Aquila for sales and aftersales across Thailand,” says Howard Prime, CEO and Co-Founder of Primus Marine. With over two decades of maritime experience, including an MCA Master 200GT certification and extensive racing credentials, Prime brings deep industry expertise to the role. “Having been a resident in Thailand for over five years, whilst working in the marine industry, I have already personally delivered many new Aquila boats to their owners from an Aquila 32 right up to the Aquila 54. Thailand is a top global location for the Aquila brand to continue to flourish with some of the best cruising grounds in the world.”
