The South Coast Boat Show is being held at Ocean Village Marina, 17-19 May 2019.  This brand new event will feature the marine industrys' most exciting and innovative power and sail brands.  There will be over 50 boats on display for people looking to purchase.  The show is aimed at those wishing to get afloat in a quality 20-60 foot power or sail boat.  We will be displaying a Sargo 36 Explorer; along side her will be other quality brands such as Dehler, Hallberg-Rassy, Najad, Fjord and Axopar.  We will be on hand to offer expert knowledge and guidance on all aspects of purchasing a new boat - from getting the specification right to insurance and exportation.

The webiste for the show will shortly be launched at southcoastboatshow.com

Motorboat & Yachting test on 850 Timonier

Jack Haines from MBY tested the 850 Timonier recently; his summary is 'just 28ft long yet it is a genuinely capable, evergreen cruising boat that few at this size can complete with'.  He particularly likes the access to the engine bay, the boat 'eating up the chop and barrelling along gamely'.

New Trawler model

Rhea Marine have announced a new model for the Trawler range.  The 34 will offer two spacious double cabins, the same fantastic seakeeping as the rest of the range and will be 100% built in their yard in La Rochelle.  She will debut at Paris show in December so we'll have a wait, but for now there are renderings on the website here

We took the Rhea 850 Timonier out on sea trials yesterday prior to handover and she performed very well!  Been attracting a fair amount of attention in the marina as well.  There's a short video on YouTube as well here

730 Timonier shortlisted for award

The 730 Timonier has been shortlisted in the Motorboat of the Year awards in the wheelhouse/walkaround category.  Having tested her in some nasty Solent chop, Jack Haines used phrases such as 'you will be smiling through the rough stuff'', 'refreshingly simply to drive' and 'puts it's head down and gets on with it'
The awards take place in early January

The creator of Rhea Marine

He created Rhea…

It is with great sadness that we inform you, the death of Bertrand Danglade on Monday August the 7^th 2017.  The creator of Rhea Marine was a passionate man.

Bertrand Danglade was a visionary. He developed a range of timeless designed boats of which the Rhea range hold to its heart today.  He always demonstrated passion and earnt respect even after he had passed on the helm - a gentleman who has left us too soon.
