Aquila Power Catamarans, a global leader in luxury catamaran manufacturing, is excited to announce its expansion into the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain through a strategic partnership with KJM Marine.

Yvan Eymieu, International Sales and Distribution Manager at Aquila, remarks, "We are ecstatic to broaden our presence in the Gulf region by joining forces with KJM Marine. Their unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional aftersales service, combined with their impressive network of partners, positions them as the ideal collaborator for Aquila Catamarans as we continue to innovate and grow in the market."

Established in 2022, KJM Marine offers comprehensive marine solutions for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The company's mission is to provide all-inclusive boat service and maintenance, luxury yacht charters, and to introduce exclusive yacht and boat brands to the GCC market. KJM Marine boasts a comprehensive infrastructure, complete with its own service and maintenance center closely associated with various regional OEM suppliers.

Mohammad AlJasmi, General Manager of KJM Marine, adds, "Catamarans have been rapidly gaining popularity in the region, and as the top-selling catamaran brand from the USA, Aquila has established a strong presence in the market. We are particularly excited about the release of their various ranges, especially the larger Molokai models, which are already generating a significant amount of interest from potential customers."

KJM Marine plans to showcase the stunning Aquila 70 at the Abu Dhabi Boat Show in November 2023. Additionally, the company will debut the brand new Aquila 42 Yacht at the Dubai Boat Show in February 2024. In anticipation of high demand, KJM Marine has already begun pre-orders for the latest 2024 model, the Molokai 47.

With this partnership and the introduction of these spectacular catamaran models, Aquila Power Catamarans and KJM Marine are poised to make waves in the Gulf region's luxury boating market.
