Yamaha Marine UK has expanded its e-commerce platform to include a new home delivery option for its portable and electric drive outboards. 

Following the launch of its ‘Click & Collect’ service last year (2022), Yamaha says this simple and convenient home delivery option will make it even easier for customers to purchase and receive their chosen outboard up to 6hp via the Yamaha UK website, without having to leave the comfort of their own home.

Jonny Twelvetrees, manager, marine sales at Yamaha, comments: “With the launch of our ‘Click & Collect’ service last year, we offered people more choice as to how they could buy a new Yamaha portable or electric drive engine. This year, to further enhance the ease and simplicity of the Yamaha online shopping experience, we’ve added a home delivery option.

“Lightweight, compact, and easy to specify for a boat or tender, our smaller outboards are ideal for online purchase and delivery direct to a customer’s door.”

The new home delivery option is available now for a small delivery charge, with an estimated delivery time of four to ten working days. Prior to delivery, the customer will be contacted via email to choose a delivery slot, ensuring that their new engine is delivered at a time that suits them.

“Should a customer still wish to visit one of our authorised Yamaha outboard engine dealers, they can buy online and have the new outboard delivered to their chosen dealer for collection, and of course, there’s the option of buying directly from the dealer too,” continues Jonny. 

“It’s all about being as flexible as possible and offering as much choice as we can, allowing our customers to purchase in a way, and at a time, that is convenient to them. Additionally, even if the customer buys online they will still benefit from the support of their local dealer who will be assigned to them.”
