Sam and Ryan Short.
Two of Australia’s high-profile marine companies, Short Marine and Game & Leisure Boats have entered into a partnership agreement.
Third generation members of the famous marine industry name, brothers Ryan and Sam have really grown from their base at The Spit in Mosman on Sydney’s renowned harbour.
Game and Leisure Boats Dealer Principal, Graham McCloy, is continuing on at the Runaway Bay location, which will no doubt be fantastic news for the large and loyal customer base they have built up over the years.
The new group assumes the Australian distributorship for the highly regarded fishing and recreational brands of Grady-White, who have recognised both groups for years with International Dealer Awards, along with Viking, Valhalla, Hatteras, Cabo, and Capelli, as well as remaining the Queensland dealers for Regal and Caribbean vessels.
This is in addition to the suite of exceptional engine, electronics and accessories brands the group also retails. These include Yamaha, Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno.
The expanded presence in the Queensland market brings Short Marine’s valued service and maintenance elements to bear, and is also an added bonus for those who travel far for their boating.
Ryan commented, “It will continue being called Game and Leisure Boats on the Gold Coast, as will Short Marine in Sydney. We want to build on Game and Leisure’s success over the years.”
Graham McCloy said, “This is all about representing the world’s best brands in each category, and we are delighted to have the expanded full service offering to provide for our clients. You can expect more of what you love about Game and Leisure. Chris Jones, Carmen and I will still be around, along with the entire team, including Roy of course, so please come in, say ‘Hi’, and meet the Shorts.”
