National Marine Suppliers

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers&nbsp;</a>specialises in offering a comprehensive suite of worldwide yacht support services, catering to every facet of the yachting industry, from worldwide logistics, to parts and supplies, from your bow to your stern. On the cusp of their 35th anniversary, CEO Dean Dutoit stated: “Our company's evolution mirrors that of the yachting industry. Initially, we didn't foresee becoming what we are today. The industry's rapid changes surprised us all. In the past, 100-foot vessels were considered superyachts; those are now tenders next to some of today's vessels, and support vessels are even larger than the yachts”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307297/image/large-d3d26344b995705995298b5219098369.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307297">Dean Dutoit brings a wealth of experience from the yachting industry, having progressed from a yacht crew member to a superyacht captain. During his tenure onboard, he identified a critical gap in the supply chain for yachts traversing the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. This insight led to the realisation of the urgent need for a reliable supply network to support the unique demands of the yachting sector. Dutoit emphasises: “Recognising a niche, I embarked on creating a more efficient solution. Our business philosophy is to keep the yacht owner affording his boat as long as he possibly can in the most cost effective way possible”.The expansion into numerous divisions by the company reflects a response to identified industry needs, highlighting a commitment to finding more efficient and cost-effective solutions for service and product provision. This approach, spearheaded through a focus on wholesale operations and transparency with customers, demonstrates a comprehensive engagement with the industry. Dutoit explains, “Our objective is to be as price competitive as possible”. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265836/image/large-6fc7274782bd976bf519ce7a6f1fb6df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265836"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> began with hands-on efforts, directly approaching vessels at docks to supply them, a practice that continues today. Dean Dutoit outlines this evolution from initial deck equipment supply to comprehensive engineering solutions, then to yacht interiors. This progression underscores a strategic diversification based on industry needs, moving from supplying essential items like boat soaps and varnishes to more complex products and services, including engineering components, luxurious interiors, and necessary provisions.Recognising the necessity to cater to both the crew and the owner, the provisions department was established 25 years ago to perfect global shipping and packaging techniques. This initiative led to the establishment of a medical supplies division, where everything is managed in-house, ensuring all staff are MCA certified for the packaging of medical containers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265835/image/large-c9f097515f86f0ef5b71d7ede74023a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265835"> Dutoit further highlighted <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a>' distinctive approach to competitive pricing, '”For example, we used to purchase an AED defibrillator from a local medical company that was selling AEDs for higher than MSRP to the yachting industry. We now acquire the same exact AEDs in bulk directly from the manufacturer for significantly less reducing markups, and we offer it to our customers for remarkable discounts of 30% less than MSRP, saving them a substantial amount of money on these and a variety of other items. This showcases the excessive inflation and mark-ups on certain products, prompting us to develop our own uniform line Yachtwear. Realising there was a more sustainable approach, we shifted to using recyclable plastic fabric for all our yacht crew uniforms, illustrating our evolution from one department to another”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265837/image/large-4b18b9c2506c834c4665d4878f58dd97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265837">Operating within the global yachting sector presents unique logistical challenges, from regulatory compliance to the management of hazardous materials. Dutoit points out that, “the primary issue lies not in the ability to purchase and deliver goods, but in managing the complexities of delivering to yachts located in the most remote parts of the world and staying there for short periods of time”. Which is further complicated by ever-changing shipping regulations, particularly those concerning hazardous materials, packaging requirements, and the escalating costs associated with shipping.Captain David Krokoski of the motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2601" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Impetuous38.7m (126'12&quot;)Burger Boat Company2003">Impetuous</a> further affirms <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a>’ capability in managing the complexities of delivering to yachts stating: “I have depended heavily on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">NMS</a> to keep my programs running smoothly, especially when an emergency issue arises.

I have never once had a time where I absolutely needed something, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">NMS</a> wasn't able to pull it off for me”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307299/image/large-c532a5b8918781d988805faac1be7550.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307299"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> has strategically perfected its logistics in-house, allowing for the identification and fulfilment of needs in various global locations.

Named Yachtwear, the brand’s innovation reflects the industry's shift toward environmental responsibility. Dean Dutoit highlights the broader environmental challenges within the yachting industry, emphasising that “while aspects like fuel usage may not be inherently beneficial for the environment, every effort towards sustainability, no matter how small, can make a significant difference."Addressing the issue of plastic use onboard, Dean Dutoit maintains that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> shift towards more sustainable options like aluminium cans and paper-based products for water and other supplies, moving away from hard plastic bottles, which are detrimental to the environment.

They strongly support the growing number of crews and owners demanding that onboard supplies contribute to a sustainable future, reinforcing their commitment to environmental stewardship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108780/image/large-e9c88f54de0dfae17d2d807a2d9fb70e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108780"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> is dedicated to continuous improvement, from software upgrades to facility enhancements, ensuring operations become more efficient.

Servicing the global yachting industry with National Marine Suppliers

National Marine Suppliers is considered a premier yacht supplier and logistical support group with offices across the globe.



Stepping back and looking in from the outside, what is the ideal recipe for founding and growing a successful business in the yachting industry? Is it one part excellent idea, one part financial backing, two parts grit and determination and one part teamwork, or some other combination of the above? As a niche industry, there is no denying that the yachting business is not the easiest in which to make a name for yourself as an entrepreneur. One company which seems to have cracked this formula for commercial success within yachting is the Fort Lauderdale based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a>. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/108770/image/large-73d0a71919dd44011e22b571239381e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108770">Celebrating its 30 year anniversary this year, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> has offices placed in strategic global locations - including Fort Lauderdale, St Maarten, Italy and the Netherlands, as well as a recently-opened facility in Auckland, New Zealand in preparation for the America’s Cup which kicks off in 2021 - and offers a diverse range of supplies and logistical support to superyachts all around the world ranging from deck supplies to superyacht toys, medical equipment, communications solutions and much more. With more than 150 people now on the team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> is headed up by Dean Dutoit, who earned his stripes after university as a deckhand, engineer, first mate and captain before moving ashore to help fill the niche in the yachting community he had identified based on his hands-on experience for a reliable and competitively priced supply chain with professional delivery. We steal some time with Dutoit at a busy <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2019">Monaco Yacht Show</a> to hear his candid insights on how to build a business in the yachting industry and, most importantly, how to keep it growing. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/108775/image/large-fa033ed187b5d855b1f04805de67cbbd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108775">What are the reasons behind the growth of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> over the years? When we started, I never wrote a business model for the company and how I wanted it to develop: we just followed the demands of the industry. We began by delivering deck supplies and have now grown to fourteen divisions, bringing everything in house to assist with almost every need that a vessel may have. Because of all of our separate divisions, we can maintain control and instead of receiving 15 different shipments, we receive one shipment with all of our departments together, and we feel that is of huge benefit to our customers.&nbsp;I think that the explanation for pretty much all of the growth in this industry is based on the increasing size of the vessels over the years. As the size of the vessels grew, so the supply and demand for parts and services developed. The logistics behind provisioning the larger vessels, whether these are floating offshore or around the world, have become one of our biggest challenges. Instead of a 40-metre boat, now it’s a 140-metre boat. Even if it’s the same product, the test comes because of the sheer volume and you need to have the trained staff in every department that are capable of taking this on. Making delivery of a box is one thing; making delivery of 10 pallets is another thing!<img src="/uploads/store/photo/108776/image/large-56b09a922d74ea127948218686ab3eff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108776">Where are your best markets? About 70% of our business is outside the state of Florida where we’re based. It’s because we’re such a diverse business dealing with an industry that isn’t necessarily based in the United States but is based in the Med and all around the world. There’s really no target area that we’re specifically dealing with because we are a supply company that needs to keep up with the vessels, wherever they are.We have placed ourselves in strategic locations based on the requests of the industry, starting off with the Caribbean which is our back yard (St Thomas, St Maarten, and Antigua and we are also directly affiliated with the IGY marina management development) but we also have locations in the Netherlands and elsewhere, so we have the strongest buying power in both the US and Europe. Having a US-based company and a European based company, we are also able to assist any of the new builds in Europe, giving them the best of both worlds.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/108787/image/large-c5ef1a71be58e6464248e8661e8053b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108787">What have been the most challenging moments for the company while you have been at the helm of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a>?The '08 crisis was without a doubt one of the most challenging times for everyone involved in the superyacht industry as everyone had to rewrite their business plans, but another has to be the tragedy of 9/11. While the world waited and stood by to see what the reaction was going to be from the United States, the phones stopped ringing for approximately 4-6 months and it was a major downturn. Over our thirty years, we have been through three or four historic challenges which we have overcome. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/108771/image/large-5698e7d11e724679f0f9b2156038b4ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108771">How do you keep your costs down?You have to become a lot more streamlined in the way you do your job through the use of new technology and software. We have had to become so much more efficient, and there are cost savings which are involved because the margins that used to exist in this industry have just disappeared. There is an amazing diversification evident in how we have tied our systems and staff together, making technology assist us and not just relying on human efforts.&nbsp;As times have changed, our financial formula has stayed quite simple. We are working three times harder, with three times the staff, for one-third of the profit because the quoting game has completely taken over the supply chain, showing how hard it is to stay in the supply business. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/108780/image/large-e9c88f54de0dfae17d2d807a2d9fb70e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108780">What would be your advice for other budding industry entrepreneurs?&nbsp;I would say that this is definitely the most challenging time to start a business in the yachting industry as it is evolving and growing so fast and so aggressively. On the supply front, that in itself is something that has taken us 30-plus years to try and perfect, and we are still perfecting it. Of course, there are other parts to the industry that entrepreneurs can jump into: there is an opportunity for everybody.&nbsp;Our industry is blessed with an amazing group of professionals. It is a world that people do not really understand in terms of the levels of service that we all have to provide. It’s so diverse, it’s so different and the challenges that come with this industry are unbelievable; it’s crazy but I love it! <img src="/uploads/store/photo/108773/image/large-51da57b6be71a4d8dddfd6d9e03325a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108773">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title=""><img src="/uploads/store/photo/55401/image/large-6524e9c9dfc37e22bf131ecc39bea57e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/55401"></a> This article was first featured in The SuperYacht Times newspaper.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription">Subscribe</a>&nbsp;now to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.
