Grand Boats Announces R & M Marine As Exclusive Victoria Dealer
24 August 2026
Premium rigid inflatable boats specialist Grand Boats has appointed R & M Marine as its exclusive dealer for Victoria, the newest addition to Grand’s growing dealer network in Australia. Based in Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula since 2006, R & M Marine is a trusted family business and an established dealer for both Yamaha Outboards and Sportsman Boats. With an already strong pedigree of brands, R & M has grown rapidly over the years and build a strong reputation in the area.
Now adding Grand Boats to their portfolio, Dealer Principal Matt Inman and his team are excited to be taking on a brand that has become one of the fastest growing names in the segment.
Matt stated, “We’re really pleased to be adding Grand Boats to the R & M Marine range. We’ve been impressed by the quality and design of the boats, and we see a strong opportunity for the brand here in Victoria. Grand has built a great reputation in a short space of time, and we’re excited to be part of that growth and to offer the range to our customers. ”
Grand Boats Australia launched in 2024 and has already established itself as the brand’s second biggest distributor worldwide, an indicator of both the pace of RIB growth in Australia and how quickly Grand has established a presence in the market.
R & M joins Grand’s Australian dealer network, which already includes Boat Sales Tasmania and Chivers Marine in Western Australia.
Dan Arscott, Managing Director at Grand Boats Australia, said R & M Marine was a strong fit for the brand.
“We’ve long admired the work that Matt and his team do and the reputation they have in the area. There is no denying their strength as a Yamaha dealer, and we are confident that the whole R & M team will be a great partner for the Grand Boats brand in the region. We’re very much looking forward to working closely with the whole team. ”
Customers will be able to view and order from R & M Marine from this August, with strong interest already coming out of the region. The Grand G680, Grand G580 and Grand D600 are expected to be strong sellers in the region, offering a balance of performance, premium comforts and functional versatility that serves across water sports and fishing.
R & M Marine will be displaying Grand Boats at the upcoming Melbourne Boat Show, taking place October 15 – 18 at Docklands.
