We see it often: water sports enthusiasts who are looking for power, durability and reliability ultimately end up with Volvo Penta. It is no coincidence. These engines have proven themselves worldwide, and here on Curaçao they are also indispensable. Whether it is a new engine for your fishing boat or an upgrade of your yacht, Volvo Penta offers solutions that we can really rely on.
Let's take a closer look at why these engines are so popular, and what makes them unique in terms of performance and reliability.
Why Choose Volvo Penta?
Powerful Performance at Sea
Volvo Penta engines are known for their powerful performance, even under tough conditions. They deliver a lot of power, with smooth acceleration and direct response. This is a big advantage, especially on the open sea. You want to be able to rely on the engine, especially when the water becomes unpredictable.
Fuel Efficiency As Standard
In addition to power, efficiency is also important. Volvo Penta combines these two characteristics excellently. Thanks to smart technologies such as common rail injection and efficient turbos, these engines consume less fuel than many competitors. This makes them more economical in use and better for the environment.
Silence and Comfort While Sailing
We all want to enjoy silence on the water. Volvo Penta understands that. Their engines run remarkably quietly and produce little vibration. This makes every trip more enjoyable, whether you are sailing with family or on an adventure alone.
Reliability You Can Trust
Robust and Durable Designed
Volvo Penta engines are built to last. The components are robust and resistant to corrosion, which is essential in our tropical, salty environment. Thanks to the smart design and materials used, maintenance is easier and these engines will last for years.
Worldwide Support and Service
What also counts is the after-sales service. Volvo Penta offers support worldwide, including here in Curacao. Spare parts are readily available and there is always a certified mechanic nearby to help you if necessary.
Full System Integration
Another advantage is the seamless integration of engine, steering and navigation. Volvo Penta’s Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) system ensures that everything works together, improving reliability and safety. From throttle response to manoeuvring in the harbour – everything feels tight and controlled.
