About us
Family-run. Boat obsessed.
Founded in 1999, CDT Marine has grown from a two-man workshop into one of the South Coast's most trusted Yamaha main dealers — without losing the feel of the small independent it started as.
Our story
Built on the water.
Chris and Dan started CDT out of a single unit fixing outboards for the local fishing fleet. Twenty-five years on, we run a full-service dealership across sales, servicing, storage and transport — and we still do it the same way: properly.
