Specialized stores, NV dealers,
sailmakers and upholstery shops
Join a network of professionals
committed to boat safety
Becoming an NVequipment retailer means more than just distributing a well-known brand. It means joining a network of professionals who share the same high standards: providing pertinent advice, supplying long-lasting equipment, and offering boat owners a customer experience that matches the quality of their boats.
For nearly 50 years, NVequipment has been supporting specialty retailers with technical, reliable, and long-lasting boat covers designed to meet the demands of real-world use at sea. Canopies, bimini tops, awnings, covers, sunshades, fasteners, accessories, and services: every NV solution offers a practical answer to boat owners’ needs for comfort, protection, maintenance, and preservation.
Because choosing, validating, and installing high-quality equipment requires expertise, NVequipment relies on a network of selected retailers. We are always looking for partners who will uphold NV quality standards, promote boat protection, and support boat owners wishing to adopt a more sustainable approach.
To help you advise customers, sell more, tap into new opportunities, and better support your customers
For retailers, boat outfitters and specialty stores, boat covers are a great opportunity to provide advice and gain a competitive edge. They meet several common needs of boat owners: protection from the sun and spray, increased comfort on board, preserving the boat, replacement of worn-out canvas, and extending the life of existing equipment.
NVequipment helps you turn these needs into long-term business opportunities. Thanks to our structured product range—Spécifik NV and Flex by NV—you have access to custom solutions based on the boat model, the customer’s needs, the expected level of availability, and the equipment’s lifecycle.
Our value proposition is clear: we provide you with a leading brand, reliable products, sales support tools, commercial and technical support, and a comprehensive range of services designed to build customer loyalty well beyond the initial purchase.
Why Become an
NVequipment Retailer?
In the boat cover market, boat owners are faced with a wide range of options: standard equipment, low-cost solutions, adaptable products of varying reliability, rapidly available accessories, and more technical protection solutions.
In this context, the retailer’s role is essential. They can help customers make the right choice, avoid problems of compatibility, explain the difference between a custom, adaptable, or off-the-shelf solution, and highlight the benefits of long-lasting equipment over frequent replacements.
NVequipment empowers its selected retailers to fulfill this role: a brand sought after by boat owners, a comprehensive range of boat covers, a clear product range targeting specific needs, marine-grade products, and services for maintenance, repair, and eventually, replacement.
Product Expertise and Customer Advice
A leading brand, recognized and trusted by boat owners
Boat owners rarely look for just “a product.” They are looking for a reliable solution to a specific need: protecting their cockpit, replacing a worn-out canvas cover, providing shade, outfitting a second-hand boat, preparing for winter storage, or improving comfort on board.
NVequipment enables retailers to provide a well-reasoned, structured, and professional response. With the Spécifik NV, Flex by NV, and Access by NV ranges, you can guide customers based on their boat, intended use, budget, expectations, and equipment availability.
This expertise sets us apart from low-cost solutions or those with limited support: customers aren’t just paying a price—they’re getting expert advice, verified compatibility, quality tailored to the marine environment, and ongoing support.
Tools, catalogues and sales support
Tools to help you sell more, more easily, and more effectively
To successfully sell boat covers, retailers must be able to quickly identify the right solution, explain the differences between product lines, and present colour options, materials, uses, lead times, and related services.
NVequipment provides tools designed to make your day-to-day work easier: product catalogues, sales materials, technical information, price lists, visuals, sales support materials, product news, and access to a dedicated professional area.
These tools are designed so that you save time and structure your advice, making your interactions with clients more professional, and driving sales. They also highlight NV quality in stores, on quotes, during customer appointments, or as part of after-sales follow-up.
Services, After-Sales, and Customer Loyalty
A customer relationship that continues after the sale
A retailer’s strength is not measured solely by its ability to sell new equipment. It is also built on ongoing support: maintenance, replacement of parts, replacement canvas, usage advice, and assistance in the event of questions or wear and tear.
With NVequipment, you can offer boat owners a lasting solution. Cloudy windows, worn-out canvas, damaged parts or worn-out components don’t always mean you have to replace everything. Depending on the condition of the equipment, there are ways to extend its service life.
This approach creates value for the retailer: it generates repeat business, builds customer trust, fosters customer loyalty, and positions your store as an expert partner in all aspects of boating, season after season..
Becoming an NV retailer
a mutual commitment
NVequipment is looking for partners who can represent the brand with professionalism, dedication, and high standards. Becoming an NV retailer means sharing a common business vision: listening to boat owners’ needs, guiding them toward the right solution, emphasizing quality, providing after-sales support, and promoting more sustainable boating.
We expect our retailers to demonstrate a genuine commercial and technical commitment: to be familiar with our product lines, use professional tools, follow up on quotes, assist customers in making their selections, promote our services, and consistently represent the NVequipment brand image.
In return, NVequipment offers a recognized brand, a structured product range, proactive web-based marketing to build brand awareness and preference, sales support tools, sales guidance, professional support, and sustainable solutions that create value beyond the initial sale.
Working together for responsible boating
Selling boat covers built to last
Sustainability is not just a strong selling point today, but also a shared responsibility. Boat owners expect equipment that is reliable, repairable when possible, and capable of lasting for several seasons.
By becoming an NVequipment retailer, you can offer an alternative to short-term purchases and premature replacements. You help your customers choose the right protection, maintain it, repair it, and replace certain parts when possible.
This approach reduces the impact of replacing equipment too quickly, while also improving customer satisfaction. For retailers, it is a way to sell more effectively: less of a “disposable product” mindset, and more of a focus on advice, service, and long-term relationships.
