Grand Boats Australia, a manufacturer of fibreglass RIB boats, has appointed Chivers Marine as its exclusive dealer for Western Australia.

Chivers Marine, a family-owned business established in 1958, operates from Bibra Lake. It is the largest Yamaha dealership in Western Australia and represents brands including Seafarer and Surtees.

Luke Chivers, Managing Director, says: “We’re really excited to be partnering with Grand Boats and to be their first official dealer here in Australia. They’re a really impressive brand and are certainly a product that customers here will be excited about.

“Grand Boats has a huge range of tenders and dayboats, ranging from 3 metres up to 9.5 metres. Their great build quality, performance and styling were clear to us from the offset and will appeal hugely to customers here who are looking for RIBs to cruise the waterways and venture across to the islands.”

Dan Arscott from Grand Boats Australia says: “We are delighted to be partnering with Luke and his team at Chivers Marine. They are an incredibly well-respected name in boating and we have been impressed by their commitment to client experience, and their unmistakable strength as a Yamaha dealer.
