MY Marine joins Whittley dealer network

by Shoemark & King on 15 Jan 2010 Whittley Marine has appointed MY Marine as a Whittley Sea Legend and Clearwater dealer to serve Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.

Based at Dromana, MY Marine is owned and operated by brothers Theo and Michael Rozakis and boasts the largest marine retail outlet on the Peninsula.

MY Marine will sell and service the full line of four Sea Legend and eight Clearwater models, with a choice of Honda or Yamaha outboard power and Volvo Penta powertrains for the inboard models.

Theo Rozakis said the two new Whittley lines were a perfect addition to MY Marine’s range.

“We were attracted to these Whittley brands because of the excellent reputation of the boats the Whittley family builds and the ideal match of the Clearwater and Sea Legend models to the type of boating people enjoy on the Peninsula,” he said.

Whittley Co-Owner and Managing Director, Neville Whittley, said the appointment of MY Marine heralded a major expansion to the Whittley dealer network.

“We are delighted to be represented by MY Marine because of the very professional way in which Theo and Michael run their business and look after their customers,” he said.

“It is an ideal partnership between two family businesses which share a commitment to the highest standards of quality and service.

“Over the next few months we will further expand the distribution of our five brands – Whittley Inflatable Boats, Whittley Sea Legend, Spy Boats, Whittley Clearwater and our traditional Whittley Cruisers.

“This is the latest stage in a long-term plan to offer a full range of class-leading trailerable fibreglass boats, and to make them readily available across Australia and overseas.”

Before expanding its network, Whittley’s major focus was on developing its product range, with the introduction of the Clearwater brand in 2005 and the new CR2800 flagship and the Spy Boats brand in 2007.

In 2008 Whittley launched the new CR2600, evolved from the CR2800, and the updated and expanded Clearwater range, and in 2009 it launched Whittley Inflatables and standardised on Volvo Penta sterndrive power.
