This journey of transformation, coupled with unmatched after-sales crew training and qualifications, sets <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scotland Nautique (Company)">Scotland Nautique</a> apart from its competitors in the super-yacht tender industry. In this article, we explore the remarkable evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scotland Nautique (Company)">Scotland Nautique</a> and its strategies for staying ahead in this competitive market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289565/image/large-a4a6a3ecc6c5181bbff34f828b98d092.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289565"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scotland Nautique (Company)">Scotland Nautique</a>’s story began in 2009 when Raymond Colquhoun and Gordon Forsyth turned their passion for wakeboarding into a thriving business, known then as Loch Lomond Wakeboard. Operating as a wakeboard school, the duo soon realised the demand for high-quality wakeboard boats. In 2010, they purchased their first Super Air Nautique, a decision that marked the inception of Scotland Nautique.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289570/image/large-1acd8711344df048bb472940fece42bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289570">Raymond Colquhoun, the current European wakesurf champion, brought his decades of water sports experience to the table. This, combined with Gordon Forsyth’s advanced engineering skills, created the perfect blend of sales and product knowledge and, over the years, Loch Lomond Wakeboard transitioned into <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scotland Nautique (Company)">Scotland Nautique</a>, becoming an authorised dealer for Nautique boats. This transformation not only allowed them to cater to domestic and yacht clients but also propelled them into the global yacht industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289569/image/large-3110b98066d80fefb7b4f9b28dddc42b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289569">One of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scotland Nautique (Company)">Scotland Nautique</a>’s unique selling points is its exceptional after-sales crew training and qualifications. Raymond Colquhoun, a British Waterski Federation SBD2 driver instructor for wakesurfing, imparts his extensive knowledge and expertise to yacht crews. This ensures that the crew can deliver the best possible experience to owners, guests, and enthusiasts looking to wakesurf, wakeboard, or waterski behind a Nautique boat. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289572/image/large-6649cf93bc9393590591d6bcf1e866fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289572">Raymond’s ability to teach crew members not only how to drive the boat effectively but also how to set it up for the perfect wave and riding experience is a distinct advantage. This approach places the activity behind the boat at the forefront, ensuring that customers get the most out of their Nautique experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289566/image/large-c9f7a97d9da01f4477852efcec56255b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289566">What sets <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scotland Nautique (Company)">Scotland Nautique</a> apart from its competitors is its exclusive focus on the supply and service of Nautique boats to super yachts. The company is recognised as an official yacht tender dealer by the Nautique factory, granting them access to CAD data to design custom lifting points.
