Our Story

Here at Nelson Marine Centre, we’re dedicated to providing unforgettable moments on the water. After 10 years in the industry in Marlborough, Pete & Ange Walters have opened the doors to their latest venture in the Nelson, Richmond area, NZ’s newest Yamaha dealership – Nelson Marine Centre.

Having previously led a team to the heights of “YAMAHA Overall Dealer of The Year” in 2023, they knew that 2024 was the right time to bring some energy, and a suite of quality products to the area.

Together with Mark Wiblin (General Manager), NMC operate a showroom & service centre from 23 McGlashen Ave, Richmond. With an extensive technical knowledge through strong factory backed training, and a huge customer service focus, both Pete & Mark have taken charge of the opportunity ahead.

Here’s what people are saying about Nelson Marine Centre...

“Over the last several years, I have purchased watercraft from Peter Walters and Mark Wiblin. I can’t say enough about these guys and their passion for the product (Yamaha). When they say they will do something, they do it. Ask for a part and it’s followed up quickly. The backup service they have provided is second to none. It’s refreshing to walk into a business place and feel welcome and that your business is important to them.”

– Robert Hobbs

“Outstanding Service, Unmatched Attention to Detail!
I’ve entrusted my Yamaha Waverunners to Peter Walters and Mark Wiblin for multiple services, and each time, they’ve surpassed my expectations. Their meticulous care and attention to detail shine through in every aspect of their work. From routine maintenance to part installation, their customer-focused approach ensures that every service is completed to perfection. Their friendly team makes the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Thanks to Peter and Mark, my Waverunner is always operating at its best, ready for any adventure. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking top-notch maintenance and genuine care.”

– Shane Andrews

Mark is an incredible person first and foremost. He looks after my boat and outboard, but he got to know me and has educated me along the way with a huge amount of phone call support that is never a drama for Mark. He truely cares for and looks after his clients with a very friendly and personal touch. This is on top of him being a very good and honest outboard mechanic.
