Bluefin LED has appointed Patrice Perrone as business development lead for France.
Perrone’s career began in finance before he moved into the yachting industry with a role at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Poole.
He started in yacht brokerage with Regal and Sunseeker before founding 2P Marine, a berth brokerage business that supports yacht owners on the French Riviera and later led UK operations for Opacmare.
Over the years, Perrone has also worked in yacht insurance, co-founded a healthcare business and led digital transformation projects within marine business sales.

Most recently, hefounded a digital marketing agency before joining Bluefin LED, where he now focuses on expanding the brand’s presence in the French market.
“The French marine market is uniquely positioned, with two distinct coasts – the Mediterranean and the Atlantic – each offering distinct dynamics and growth opportunities,” he said.
“The refit segment is experiencing a significant boom, particularly in the Mediterranean. At the same time, many Atlantic-based French boatbuilders continue to invest and produce actively, largely driven by strong export demand.
“This duality makes the French market exceptionally versatile.”
Bluefin LED is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of advanced LED marine lighting systems.
