A bit about Marine Deals

Fishing, Boating, Diving, Watersports…it's all about getting you awesome Marine Deals.

We're dedicated to giving you the opportunity to buy marine and fishing equipment at the lowest prices you will find!

We launched in October 2009 and have grown from a small company working out of our garage to become New Zealand's most popular online marine retailer. In 2013 we were stoked to find out we'd won 12th place in the Deloittes Fast 50 NZ's Fastest Growing Companies. Fast forward to 2023, Marine Deals proudly emerged as a finalist in the "Employer Of The Year" and "People's Choice" categories at the 2degrees Auckland Business Awards.

How Marine Deals came about

-

The Founders

Antonio quit from being a sales rep at a marine electronics company, hoping to work part-time as a fireman and start a business on the side. He starts selling marine electronic products on TradeMe. The industry is charging phenomenal margins so it goes well.

Graham was in the middle of a sabbatical after a hard 7-year slog in IT infrastructure in the UK. He had no real interest in doing anything for a while apart from some renovations. Finding out about Antonio's project got him thinking about setting up a proper e-commerce site.

Why don't we do like weekly deals for fishing gear?

Antonio's suggestion got Graham building a website right away. A month later, the website was up. And on the 5th of October 2009 – the first email goes out to around 500 friends and acquaintances.

Sales go surprisingly well. Antonio sources the products, adds them to the website and ships out the orders. Graham tinkers and build the technology platform while trying to master the Google matrix.

-

October 2010

After a year of trading and of Antonio sleeping with boxes on his bed in between towers of boxes in his bedroom, hallway and garage, they decide it's time to move the products to a small warehouse.

-

To save costs Antonio sleeps in the warehouse mezzanine floor. Antonio and Graham don't pay themselves and everything is re-invested back into new products.

-

2012

Two years after using the tiny warehouse, it's time to move on yet again. In October 2012 the growing Marine Deals team move into the 740 sqm warehouse, showroom and offices.

-
-
-

November 2013

Marine Deals was ranked 12th place among New Zealand's fastest growing companies and 77th in Asia-Pacific's Fast 500 technology companies.

-

September 2017

Thanks to the combined efforts of more than 80 people over the course of an extremely stressful weekend - Marine Deals has finally made the Big Move out of their old 740 sqm warehouse into their new 2,900 sqm home!

-

The massive new office, showroom and warehouse is more than 3 times the size of the old warehouse - that means more space for products, better facilities, and a bigger showroom for customers.

The all new showroom is 7 times bigger than the previous one! This major change provides local fishos access to a wide range of products - with enough space for fishing, boating, hunting, diving, and camping gear. Each section of the new showroom is organised per category for a hassle-free shopping experience.

-

Today

-

Now with over 90,000 products, 35 staff and an ambitious plan that will see the team doubling within the next 2 years….our passion is to get products quickly and cheaply into the hands of our customers that will see them engage, enjoy and participate in the wonderful marine outdoors our country has to offer.
