Aquila expands dealer network in France and Thailand

Aquila Power Catamarans has announced the addition of two new international dealers, further broadening its network in Europe and Asia.

The Chinese boatbuilder has appointed Selestiboat as its dealer in France, extending its reach within Europe. In Southeast Asia, Aquila welcomes Primus Marine, which will operate from Thailand in Phuket and in Bangkok.

“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 personalised experience for boaters worldwide.”

Dominique Lecler of Selestiboat adds: “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.”

Harvey notes that with the addition of the French dealer, Aquila now has a complete service network around the Mediterranean, covering Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Turkey. “Aquila owners will be able to rely on this network of professionally trained Aquila representatives for worry-free cruising around the Mediterranean,” he says.

In Thailand, Howard Prime, CEO and co-founder of Primus Marine, highlights his excitement about the partnership, stating: “It is tremendously exciting to be partnering with Aquila for sales and aftersales across Thailand.

“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.”

This development follows recent dealer partnerships for Aquila in the Caribbean and Pacific regions.
