Croatian manufacturer of GRP recreational boats seeks distributors and dealers for long-term commercial cooperation in international markets
The Croatian company is an established manufacturer and marine service provider with experience in GRP/fiberglass boatbuilding, vessel assembly, technical installation, customization and after-sales service. The company is currently expanding the international sales network for its range of recreational boats and is seeking reliable distributors, boat dealers and marine sales partners interested in representing the products in their local markets. The current portfolio offered for international distribution includes: Betina 490 – A compact 4.90-metre open boat designed for recreational and coastal use. The model is available in several factory configurations, ranging from a professional hull kit to a fully equipped console version. Its compact dimensions and configurable equipment make it suitable for private users, rental operators and customers looking for a practical and accessible recreational boat. Phoenix F55 – A sporty 5.50-metre open boat with a practical deck layout, capacity for five persons and engine options up to 100 hp. Different equipment configurations are available, allowing the boat to be adapted to different customer requirements and recreational uses. Betina 700 – A robust 7.04-metre cabin boat designed for coastal cruising and recreational use. It can be configured for outboard or inboard diesel propulsion and is available in several factory equipment levels, from hull kit and standard configurations to premium and luxury versions. Production is carried out in Croatia by a company with in-house knowledge of GRP manufacturing, assembly, mechanical and electrical installation, customization and marine servicing. The manufacturer can support its commercial partners with product information, technical documentation, configuration and quotation support, factory communication and after-sales technical assistance. The company is interested in developing long-term relationships with professional partners who understand their local boating market and can actively promote and sell the products. Potential partners may include established boat dealers, marine distributors, yacht and boat sales companies, marine service businesses with sales activities, marina-based businesses and other companies with access to recreational boating customers. The manufacturer is open to cooperation in international markets and does not wish to restrict the search to a predefined list of countries. Each market and potential partner will be evaluated individually. Territories, commercial conditions, sales expectations and possible territorial exclusivity will be discussed individually based on the partner's market coverage, capabilities and agreed business development plan. The objective is to establish a sustainable international dealer network and develop long-term commercial partnerships rather than one-off sales relationships. Advantages and innovations: • Direct manufacturer relationship: Partners cooperate directly with the Croatian manufacturer, enabling efficient communication regarding specifications, configurations, production and technical matters. • Three complementary boat models: The portfolio includes the compact Betina 490, sporty Phoenix F55 and larger Betina 700 cabin boat, allowing dealers to address different customer profiles and price segments. • Flexible factory configurations: Different equipment levels and optional equipment enable dealers to offer boats adapted to customer requirements and local market preferences. • In-house GRP manufacturing expertise: The company has practical experience in fiberglass/GRP production, assembly, finishing and customization. • Technical and after-sales capability: In addition to manufacturing, the company operates in yacht and boat servicing and therefore understands the importance of technical support after delivery. • Customization capability: Selected equipment and configurations can be adapted according to technical feasibility and individual customer requirements. • EU manufacturing base: Production in Croatia provides a strategic location for serving European and Mediterranean boating markets. • Long-term dealer approach: The manufacturer is building a professional international dealer network and is interested in stable commercial relationships with capable local partners. Technical Specification or Expertise Sought No specific technical technology is sought under this profile. The company seeks commercial partners with knowledge of their local recreational boating market and experience in boat sales, marine distribution or related nautical activities. The ideal partner should have established customer acquisition and sales channels. A showroom, marina presence, demonstration facilities and/or technical service capabilities are considered an advantage but are not mandatory in every market. Experience representing recreational boat, marine engine, marine equipment or related nautical brands is desirable. The partner should be able to actively promote the products, communicate with prospective customers, develop local market opportunities and cooperate with the manufacturer regarding quotations, orders, deliveries and after-sales support. Expected role of a partner: The company is seeking professional boat dealers, distributors, marine sales companies and other established businesses with access to recreational boating customers. The partner is expected to develop sales of the manufacturer's boats within its local market and act as a professional commercial point of contact for prospective customers. Depending on the agreed cooperation model, the partner's activities may include: • promoting the Betina 490, Phoenix F55 and Betina 700 within the local market; • generating and managing customer enquiries; • presenting the boats and available factory configurations; • participating in relevant local boat shows, marine events or other promotional activities where commercially justified; • supporting customers during the selection and ordering process; • coordinating quotations and orders with the manufacturer; • supporting local delivery and commissioning arrangements where applicable; • providing or coordinating basic after-sales and technical support; • sharing relevant market feedback with the manufacturer. The ideal partner has existing experience in recreational boat sales, marine distribution, yacht brokerage, marina operations, marine engines, nautical equipment or boat servicing. Existing premises, a showroom, marina location, demonstration capabilities or technical service infrastructure are considered an advantage. The manufacturer is interested in partners capable of actively developing their market rather than companies seeking only occasional individual purchases. Commercial terms, dealer conditions, territory, sales expectations, marketing activities and warranty responsibilities will be agreed individually with each selected partner. Potential territorial exclusivity may be discussed where commercially justified, but it is not granted automatically and will depend on the partner's capabilities, market coverage and agreed performance objectives. The company is open to enquiries from suitable partners in all international markets and will evaluate each opportunity individually. The intended outcome is a long-term commercial relationship that enables the partner to develop local sales while giving customers direct access to factory-produced Croatian recreational boats supported by the manufacturer.
