OLIVER FRÖLS<br />
CEO FOUNDER<br />
MARIVENT YACHTS BALEARICS<br />
A<br />
fter spending his informative<br />
years living in Madrid, Oliver<br />
Fröls built a marine business and<br />
distribution agency for Bombardier<br />
PWCs, eventually overseeing 700<br />
dealers worldwide. This invaluable<br />
experience sent Oliver on to his<br />
next project called Marivent Yachts.<br />
Based in Mallorca, the yacht broker<br />
and charter company is the main<br />
representative for Fjord Yachts but<br />
includes within its portfolio Arcadia<br />
Yachts, Prestige, Austin Parker and<br />
more recently Excess Catamarans.<br />
Oliver has together with his team,<br />
been awarded numerous accolades<br />
and awards including being the number<br />
one global distributor for Fjord Yachts<br />
seven years running. After working<br />
and living on Mallorca for the past<br />
30 years, Oliver’s network of friends<br />
and business associates is wide<br />
reaching. With spending much of<br />
his time visiting the marinas, ports<br />
and maritime associated businesses<br />
on the island, Oliver’s a well known<br />
and respected resident on the island<br />
always arriving with a smile and a joke.<br />
EARLY MORNING<br />
After an early breakfast at home, when he’s not travelling, Oliver travels to the<br />
Palma office for team meetings. This time of year, the last of the boats are leaving<br />
the sheds, the sales team present updates on the sales funnel for new boats across<br />
the product ranges, and the yachts planned<br />
for imminent delivery are discussed to make<br />
sure any specific owner additions have been<br />
completed. From a potential client’s first<br />
point of contact with the company, to<br />
the actual yacht’s delivery and servicing,<br />
Oliver keeps a close eye on the customer<br />
journey and demands a high level of service<br />
from all the team. The team has a close<br />
relationship and work together more like<br />
a family with Oliver being the respected<br />
and loved patriarchal figure.<br />
Across the multiple brands, logistics<br />
plays a key part in delivering these<br />
levels of service, so Marivent’s<br />
interaction with its partners such as<br />
Hanse Yachts, Arcadia and Prestige is<br />
of the upmost importance. Clients are<br />
far and wide and each customer can<br />
have different options throughout the<br />
specific yacht, so complete track and<br />
trace of yacht specifics is paramount,<br />
together with the desired delivery dates<br />
being met. “Purchasing a yacht, no<br />
