UK-based Rapid Marine, which designs and manufactures yacht tenders and jet ski accessories, has partnered with DCH Marine, a Hong Kong-based yacht sales and service provider, to expand the availability of its secure deck equipment across Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand.
The collaboration strengthens Rapid Marine’s distribution network in Asia-Pacific and provides yacht builders and owners in the region with access to its British-engineered tender and jet ski accessories. Under the partnership, DCH Marine will stock and distribute Rapid Marine’s full range of products.
The agreement was finalised following a sales visit to Hong Kong by Neal Phillips, sales manager at Rapid Marine, who worked with David Helson of DCH Marine to formalise the arrangement.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hong Kong, DCH Marine represents yacht brands such as Sunseeker Yachts, Saxdor Yachts and Williams Jet Tenders. The company’s established reputation in yacht sales and aftersales service provides a platform for introducing Rapid Marine’s Universal Chocks, Padeyes and ratchet strap assemblies to regional clients.
“After purchasing and fitting Rapid Marine’s products, we are excited about the prospect of becoming one of their dealers”, says David Helson, after-sales engineering manager at DCH Marine. “The quality and design align perfectly with the luxury boats we already sell and retrofit. We look forward to the future growth of both companies.”
Neal Phillips at Rapid Marine says, “We’re really looking forward to working with David and his team and the exciting opportunities that it will bring.”
The collaboration gives Rapid Marine direct access to an established dealer network and accelerates delivery times across key markets. Clients of DCH Marine, including Sunseeker owners, will gain access to Rapid Marine’s full range of deck equipment supported by local distribution.
