Powering ahead in marine.

Perkins marine engines are trusted across both commercial and leisure applications worldwide. They have powered race-winning powerboats, helped yachts circumnavigate the globe, and quietly support everyday life on board ferries, keeping lights on, laptops charged, and kettles boiling during daily commutes. They power port authority vessels, remote island service boats that function as mobile ATMs, workboats, defence vessels, and even play a vital role in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) education, helping train the next generation of marine engineers.

Wherever you see the Perkins logo, you’ll find a gateway to the Perkins world. It represents access to a trusted distributor or dealer network where you will find experts who offer far more than just engines. This is where customers find the knowledge, experience, and guidance needed to support their propulsion and auxiliary power requirements at sea.

At sea, engines are more than machines, they are lifelines. Whether providing primary propulsion, backup power, or auxiliary services such as lighting and hot water, their importance is often only fully appreciated when performance begins to fall short. Reliability is not optional; it’s essential.

This is where the strength of the Perkins distributor network truly matters. With 84 distributors operating across over 180 countries on all six continents, Perkins customers can depend on local expertise wherever their operations take them.
 

So, what really sets Perkins apart?

Customers frequently describe Perkins engines as reliable, durable, and robust. Given the demanding environments in which they operate, these qualities may be expected but Perkins delivers more than the basics.

Customers tell us that Perkins understands total cost of ownership. It’s not just the purchase price that matters, but the operating costs across the engine’s entire lifecycle. That’s why Perkins engines are designed with 500-hour service intervals, straightforward access to genuine replacement parts, and technical support available in local languages, worldwide.

Perkins also recognises that no two boats are the same and neither are their power requirements. Every Perkins marine engine is built to order and can be customised through a wide range of optional features to meet specific customer needs.

It’s this combination of tailored solutions, global support, and long-term value that makes Perkins difficult to sail away from. The Perkins marine portfolio combines a comprehensive range of auxiliary and propulsion engines, designed to support a broad range of applications today, while continuing to evolve for the demands of tomorrow.

Once customers choose Perkins, they often find there’s no reason to look elsewhere.
