Baysport Boats appoints Melbourne's BL Marine

Baysport Boats (formerly Freedom Boats) has found a new home in Melbourne with the appointment of BL Marine as its exclusive dealer.

The Baysport Boats range was recently displayed by BL Marine for the first time at the Melbourne Boat Show, with dealer principal Craig O’Donnell rating the launch as “fantastic”.

“We presented the Baysport Boats as complete packaged rigs with Yamaha two-stroke and four-stroke outboards,” said O’Donnell. “Judging by customer feedback and the orders that we took at the show, I would rate the product launch as first rate.”

Baysport Boats are positioned as entry-level fibreglass boats that the company said lack nothing in structural integrity or features. Baysport’s boats typically have fibreglass stringers, hydraulic steering, carpet, stainless steel rails, and boarding ladders.

With three key models - the Baysport Sports 575, Baysport Offshore 620 and Sports 640 - the company said customers have an excellent choice of boat size and style to suit their budget, as well as access to competitive finance with Yamaha Motor Finance (YMF).

“These boats represent great value for money and that’s why we sought to gain the Baysport dealership for Melbourne,” said O’Donnell.

BL Marine is located in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, at 612-614 Plentry Road, Preston, in a growing residential corridor. The site has a vast sales area.

The appointment comes hot on the heels of another appointment as a Stacer dealer, and O’Donnell said he was elated by his company’s new direction.

“It’s a credit to our team here at BL Marine that we have won both the Baysport and Stacer dealerships,” he said. “We can support BL Marine customers with quality name brand boats, each powered by market-leading Yamaha outboard engines. It’s an ideal combination.”

BL Marine said that one of the key benefits of selling the Yamaha brand is that customers have a complete choice of outboard technology. When buying Baysport, customers can choose from the Yamaha two-stroke or four-stroke outboard. High-tech, low-emission Yamaha VMAX engines are also avaialable for customers wanting direct injection technology.
