Dubai, March 6, 2008: Dubai's leading luxury yacht builder, Palm Marine, a Dubai World company has recently granted exclusive dealership rights to Azure Marine for the UAE, in a newly inked deal.
Palm Marine has aligned with top international yacht designers and has put together a strong design and management department under the leadership of CEO Simon Honeybone. The company recently integrated with sister concern Exomos and with the restructured management and new identity is now positioned to lead the marine leisure market.
Currently Palm Marine has three leisure lines under development, the Palm Sports cruisers, Palm Islander Flybridge yachts and Palm Fisher sports fishing yachts. The Palm Islander range starts at 42' and goes to 110'; Palm Fisher is 42' to 120', and Palm Sport is 54' to 90'. Developed with customer consultation, all models are styled with a Western European look, but built for local conditions.
Speaking about the new deal, Mr. Harald Schlegel, Business Development Manager, Palm Marine said: "We are delighted to announce our appointment of Azure Marine as our exclusive dealer for Dubai. Ross Gill, Managing Director of Azure Marine has a successful track in customer service and the appointment will serve the growing market in the territory. The new shores are getting ready and Palm Marine is charged up to be part of Dubai's new waterfront lifestyle."
Dubai's coastline will be extended by 800km, more than 12 times its present size presenting unparalleled growth opportunities to the marine and maritime community not only locally but also regionally.
Azure Marine's Managing Director, Ross Gill added: 'Palm Marine offers its customers exquisite products and exceptional services and the two companies share a passion for excellence and quality. Our extensive experience has provided us with excellent contacts throughout the boating community.
