Marine Store

What Marine Store does

Marine Store is a Swedish full-service boat dealership and marine service center operating two physical showroom locations in Norrtälje and Nynäshamn, with corporate ownership by Nimbus Group, a major Nordic boat manufacturer. Founded approximately 30 years ago, the company represents over 14 boat brands including Buster, Bella, Falcon, Nordkapp, Axopar, Yamarin, and others, with new boat prices ranging from 239,000 SEK for entry-level boats like the Bella 485 R to over 3.6 million SEK for premium Nordkapp Gran Coupe 905 models. The company also sells Yamaha outboard motors (8-450 hp), boat trailers, Yamaha Waverunner jet skis, and Yamaha ATVs.

The business operates five distinct revenue streams: new boat sales, used boat brokerage, service and repair, winter storage, and accessories/motor sales. The service operations feature high-tech workshops with continuously trained mechanics and specialized tooling for modern marine engine technology. Marine Store handles the complete sales cycle including financing, insurance, and delivery, offering package deals that bundle boats with motors and complementary services. The company has been recognized as the world's largest Buster boat dealer in both 2024 and 2025 by Buster Boats/Yamaha Motor Group, and was named Marine Workshop of the Year 2024 by Swedish customers.

Customer segments include recreational boaters (primary) for family outings, water sports, fishing, and day cruising, as well as a secondary segment of professional/commercial users requiring durable, reliable working boats. The company sells directly to individual consumers through its physical showrooms in a sales-led, bottom-of-funnel approach, complemented by a website (marinestore.se) and social media presence on Instagram and Facebook. Marine Store is currently seeking a business development-focused COO to drive growth across its Swedish operations.
