New Zealand-based electric jet tender manufacturer MC-Zero has appointed Vanguard Marine as its first European dealer.
Vanguard Marine, based at the Golfe-Juan Vieux marina in the French Riviera, will handle sales, and localised support for MC-Zero’s tender line.
“Partnering with Vanguard Marine is a major milestone for MC-Zero as we scale up our European presence,” said Chris Baird, CEO of MC-Zero.
“Joel Amor and the team at Vanguard Marine have an unmatched reputation in the South of France and represent some of the most prestigious brands in luxury yachting.
“Port Camille Rayon is the ideal operational hub for superyacht owners and captains across the Riviera to experience what happens when you combine elite racing-yacht boat building with cutting-edge electric jet propulsion.”

Joel Amor, CEO of Vanguard Marine, added: “We are thrilled to bring MC-Zero to our clients in France.
“The superyacht sector is demanding cleaner, quieter, and more versatile tenders, but without compromising on luxury, speed, or safety.
“MC-Zero isn’t just an electrified boat – it’s a completely reimagined tender that solves long-standing frustrations for captains and guests alike.”
MC-Zero tenders have been developed through a collaboration between racing boat builder, McConaghy Boats and marine electrification developer ZeroJet.
Design features include the integration of twin 30kW ZeroJet electric drives beneath a flat deck, and a patented movable helm to provide maximum deck space.
