C2 Marine's award highlights a key issue for boaters and professionals alike: service quality for marine engines.
Recognition in a structured global network
On March 5, 2026, in Osaka, Yanmar presented a Service Award to C2 Marine, a company based in Canet en Roussillon. This distinction concerns the Yanmar Marine International division, dedicated to pleasure craft engines. It is part of a worldwide network of over 2,000 agents and distributors.
For a local player, positioning itself in this type of ranking implies strict compliance with the manufacturer's standards, in terms of both technical aspects and customer support.
Continuous upgrading of technical skills
Maintaining a high technical level requires regular training of our teams. On modern engines, on-board electronics, injection systems and control interfaces require specific skills.
C2 Marine is following this logic by investing in training and infrastructure. In 2025, the company set up a 400 m² mechanical center at the port of Canet en Roussillon, with areas dedicated to workshops, logistics and technical support. This type of facility makes it possible to handle more complex interventions while reducing lead times.
A local player at the heart of the Canet nautical cluster
Founded in 1988 and headed since 2016 by Cédric Chorlay, C2 Marine operates in both equipment distribution and marine services. The company is a Yanmar Marine Master Dealer, selling engines, original parts, maintenance and technical advice. It also distributes brands such as Suzuki Marine, Vetus and ZF. Its location in the Canet nautical cluster facilitates interaction with boatyards, harbors and yachtsmen, in an area where maintenance activity remains brisk all year round.
A distinction that reflects market demands
Beyond the trophy itself, this type of recognition reflects an evolution in the market. Users expect a structured, fast service that meets manufacturer standards.
And in an environment where navigation periods are restricted, boat availability depends directly on the quality of the technical network.
As Cédric Chorlay points out, " This international award recognizes the day-to-day work of our team. It reflects our high technical standards, our commitment to our customers and our constant desire to progress."
