Sea Ray Chooses KVH as Its Official Satellite Antenna Partner in Exclusive 3-Year Pact
February 28 2011 - 7:30AM
Boaters invest a good deal of time, money, and passion in their
vessels, and naturally demand the best for every inch of these
floating homes away from home. Sea Ray, one of the world's premier
manufacturers of 17′-60′ pleasure boats, recently met that demand
by naming KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) its exclusive
satellite partner for the next three years. KVH is the manufacturer
of the award-winning TracVision® satellite TV systems, which have
long adorned the radar arches of discerning Sea Ray owners.
"We chose KVH as our exclusive supplier of satellite television
receivers, fully-stabilized antennas, and corresponding hardware
because the TracVision products are far superior to competing
options for both reception and reliability," says Joe Cacopardo,
director of marketing for Sea Ray. "When we first started using KVH
products several years ago, we really put them through the wringer.
We put TracVision products, and their competitors, through intense
physical testing before making our choice, and KVH was the clear
winner, so we knew these products would meet the high expectations
of Sea Ray owners. Beyond that, KVH has a solid reputation as a
trustworthy technology partner with a distinguished network of
dealers and support personnel."
For KVH, serving as Sea Ray's official satellite partner is an
illustration of the company's continuing commitment to quality.
"Sea Ray boats and KVH antennas are both known for outstanding
design, performance, and reliability," says Jim George, KVH's
director of sales for satellite products. "This is a great match --
our TracVision product line is diverse enough to offer solutions
that will look beautiful and offer outstanding performance aboard
any Sea Ray boat. This partnership is the most recent step in the
evolution of the longstanding relationship between KVH and Sea Ray
and it highlights our mutual commitment to providing great benefits
to boaters, as well as our belief in the value and resilience of
the marine market."
KVH's award-winning TracVision antennas bring reliable,
high-quality satellite entertainment to boaters around the globe.
This diverse product line offers solutions to meet the needs of any
boater, on any vessel, anywhere in the world.
