MC-ZERO has appointed Vanguard Marine as its first European dealer, extending sales and localised support for its electric yacht tenders across the French Riviera.
MC-ZERO has appointed Vanguard Marine as its first European dealer, expanding the electric tender brand’s sales and localised support presence on the French Riviera. The appointment was announced on 2 September 2026, with Vanguard Marine operating from Port Camille Rayon and led by chief executive Joël Amor.
The move gives MC-ZERO a dedicated European dealer as the company develops the market for its electric jet yacht tenders. Vanguard Marine will provide a local point of contact for customers in one of Europe’s most concentrated superyacht cruising and service regions.
The appointment marks MC-ZERO’s first European dealership agreement. According to the announcement, Vanguard Marine will support both sales activity and localised customer requirements, extending the brand’s reach beyond its existing direct presence.
For MC-ZERO, the French Riviera provides access to a market where yacht owners, captains, managers and shipyards regularly evaluate tenders and other support craft. Establishing a dealer in the region therefore places the product closer to the end users and professional buyers it is designed to serve.
Vanguard Marine’s operation is based around Port Camille Rayon on the French Riviera. The location gives the dealership a practical base in a major Mediterranean yachting area and positions it close to the seasonal concentration of large yachts along the Côte d’Azur.
Joël Amor is identified as chief executive of Vanguard Marine, while Chris Baird is named as chief executive of MC-ZERO. The agreement brings the two businesses together around sales, customer support and regional representation for the electric tender range.
MC-ZERO’s official material describes the MC-ZERO 450 as an electric jet tender developed with McConaghy Boats and ZeroJet. The platform uses twin 30kW ZeroJet electric drives and incorporates a movable helm, features that support the brand’s focus on compact electric tender design.
The technology relationship is relevant to the new dealership because Vanguard Marine will be representing a product that combines specialist composite boatbuilding with electric jet propulsion. The appointment therefore adds a regional sales and support layer to an established technical partnership.
The French Riviera dealership gives MC-ZERO a defined European commercial foothold as electric propulsion continues to develop within the yacht-tender market. Local representation can also shorten the distance between prospective customers and the people responsible for demonstrations, sales discussions and after-sales support.
For Superyacht Guide readers, the central development is the creation of MC-ZERO’s first European dealer network presence. Vanguard Marine will represent the brand from Port Camille Rayon, providing sales and localised support for MC-ZERO’s electric yacht tenders across the French Riviera.
