Starting this year, Garmin will exclusively supply equipment for Virtue Yachts boats.
We are a Polish boat manufacturer with production in Gajewo, Masuria, where we create unique, craft luxury boats. In early 2025, we decided to sign an exclusivity agreement with Garmin, which became the supplier of marine electronics and audio systems for all our models, including our newest boat, the Virtue V10 Cabin, which premiered at the boot Düsseldorf 2025 show.
Garmin systems integrated with Virtue Yachts will include GPSMAP 1223xsv chartplotters, GMR Fantom 18x solid-state radars, VHF 215i radios, and AIS 800 transmitters. JL Audio products will be used for marine sound systems.
What does Christoffer Olsson, Sales Director at Virtue Yachts, say about this strategic partnership?
“We are very pleased with our cooperation with Garmin and their entire product range. We especially appreciate the support and technical knowledge that Garmin provides us. Garmin’s high standards and quality products are also a perfect match for our boats, which we create in the same spirit.”
Meanwhile, Pontus Fernstrom, EMEA Marine Segment Director at Garmin, said:
“We are delighted to offer Virtue Yachts our wide range of top-quality marine electronics and audio solutions. This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both brands, combining a shared passion for quality and design, and enhancing our customers’ experiences.”
Garmin develops solutions for various fields, including the aviation industry, automotive sector, fitness industry, marine navigation, and outdoor activities. For ten consecutive years, the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) has awarded the company Manufacturer of the Year. Garmin’s marine portfolio includes brands such as Navionics, JL Audio, and Lumishore.
The partnership between Virtue Yachts and Garmin is a strategic decision aimed at setting the standard for the boats offered, equipping them with the best possible marine equipment. When customers buy a Virtue Yachts boat, they buy the proven quality that both brands symbolize.
