New Zealand is a strategically important destination for yachts cruising the South Pacific. Not only does the country have some of the best marina and refit services in the Southern Hemisphere, but also offers stunningly beautiful cruising. New Zealand is a world-class Superyacht destination, with many yachts calling in each year for required maintenance work, and itineraries for owners and guests.
Seal Superyachts is a well-known Superyacht Agency, who view the opening of their New Zealand office as a vital and important step in providing complete coverage of agency support across the South Pacific. Seal Superyachts are now effectively able to offer a ‘one-stop’ service of support for visiting yachts. This is accomplished by having offices in all the major cruising destinations; Galapagos, French Polynesia, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, East Coast of Australia and now down in New Zealand.
Adam Frost, Managing Director of Seal Superyachts, said of the announcement “I am delighted to have Ben Osborne, Phil Tomlinson and Allan Jouning carrying the Seal Superyachts flag for us in New Zealand. Between them they have all the required knowledge and experience, to handle the intricacies of running a well-organized and efficient support agency service for our clients”. No strangers to looking after Superyachts, this trio of well-known personalities in the New Zealand marine industry are the shareholder’s of 37South Yachts, which will be re-branding its Agency division, to become Seal Superyachts New Zealand.”
Ben Osborne said of today’s announcement “We are very excited about joining Seal Superyachts. From our humble beginnings in 1988, 37South has grown to become one of the most trusted yachting brands in the South Pacific. When it came time to extend our reach the tried, tested and trusted network Seal Superyachts was the obvious choice.
With New Zealand’s rich source of marine expertise, equipment and spares for all departments – we can now work closely with Seal agents in the more remote areas of the region to help them provide a more thorough service. With our local distribution of brands such as Shurhold, Epifanes, Gel Air, Starbrite and Collinite to name a few, we can now keep deck departments stocked from Panama to the Maldives.
We look forward to working with Adam on the transition of our agency operation into Seal Superyachts New Zealand, while continuing to develop and grow the charter, yacht management and equipment distribution functions of 37South.”
