SeaStorm Boats Expands Caribbean Dealer Network for Rugged Polyethylene Fleet
SeaStorm Boats is recruiting Caribbean dealers for its rugged polyethylene boats, built for resorts, rental fleets, and commercial marine operators.
Tough boats built for hard use and low maintenance are carving out a niche in the Caribbean. SeaStorm Boats is seeking dealer partners across the region and the U.S. for its line of polyethylene boats built to handle commercial workloads, harsh sun, and frequent use.
Built for Commercial Wear
Made from rotationally molded polyethylene rather than fiberglass, SeaStorm boats are designed to resist impacts and avoid issues like gelcoat cracking, reducing maintenance in demanding marine environments. Current models range from 12 to 17 feet and are used by resorts, rental fleets, excursion operators, fishing businesses, and as utility boats and tenders. For operators running boats daily under the region’s intense sun and saltwater exposure, hull durability and low upkeep can matter as much as purchase price — a tradeoff worth weighing against inflatable alternatives as well.
“We’re seeing strong demand throughout the Caribbean and believe SeaStorm fills an interesting gap in the market for tough, low-maintenance boats designed for high-use environments,” says Bradley Clarke, founder and director of UK-headquartered Marina Reach Ltd., a marine distribution and supply company that serves as the official primary distributor and dealer of SeaStorm boats for the Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada.
Building Out the Caribbean Dealer Network
SeaStorm is establishing dealer relationships across multiple Caribbean markets, including Puerto Rico, and is seeking marine retailers, marinas, and service providers interested in exclusive territories — following a similar path to other marine retailers expanding into Puerto Rico. Dealers can also generate revenue through engines, servicing, rigging, and accessories. Caribbean marine retailers, marinas, and service providers interested in an exclusive SeaStorm territory can inquire directly through marinareach.com.
Pricing
Retail prices range from roughly US$9,000 to US$18,000, excluding engines, duties, and local taxes. marinareach.com
