PRESTIGE MARINE APPOINTS REED NICOL TO SCALE YACHTING BUSINESS

7.10.24 - Miami's premier marine dealership, Prestige Marine, has appointed a new sales executive, Reed Nicol, to scale up its marinecraft business, starting with its local South Florida yachting scene. Reed brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as Director of Operations for VanDutch, led RN Marine—a marine sales and consulting business—and founded PilePad, a company specializing in padding and fender systems for marinas and private docks. Since departing VanDutch, Reed has handled transactions ranging from high-performance RIBs to 120-foot custom motor yachts. Brett David, the founder of Prestige Marine, believes Reed's expertise will drive the company's diversification into new and used yacht sales, extending beyond the brands the dealership currently represents. As the world's largest Lamborghini yacht dealer, Prestige Marine aims to elevate its operations in the US and globally with Reed's appointment.

“Prestige Marine's reputation and its impressive portfolio of elite yacht brands are unmatched. I'm thrilled to be part of a team that shares my passion for the yachting industry, the client experience, and a constant commitment to excellence in every facet of the business. Together, we will continue to expand Prestige Marine’s already-impressive reach and elevate the luxury yachting experience for our clients in South Florida and beyond. I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of Prestige Marine, and I’m eager to see what we can achieve together in this dynamic market,” comments Reed Nicol, Sales Executive of Prestige Marine.

Prestige Marine, a division of Prestige Imports, is not a typical marine dealership. Instead, it is a curated collection of elite yacht brands, including Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, Midnight Express, VanDutch Yachts, Pardo Yachts, Iguana Yachts, and SEABOB. This division was born from the passion of Brett David, CEO of Prestige Imports, who has a deep love for all things marine, especially yachting in and around Miami. Brett recognized a natural connection between his clients who own premium exotic automobiles and the luxury lifestyle of the yachting industry, leading to the creation of Prestige Marine.

"Reed’s extensive background and long-standing expertise in the yachting industry are incredibly valuable to our team, particularly during this current phase of rapid growth," says Brett David, CEO of Prestige Marine. "The company is expanding at an impressive pace, and with Reed’s help, we aim to reach new heights in terms of sales and plan to introduce even more prestigious brands into our network. Reed’s unparalleled experience in these areas marks the beginning of a new era for our company."
