Yamaha Motor UK and the RNLI, have announced a new partnership that is set to bring benefits to boaters throughout the UK.

RNLI launch

From now on, every customer buying a new Yamaha outboard engine through an authorised dealer (from the smallest F2.5 to the mighty F350 V8) will receive 12 months free RNLI Offshore membership worth £68, while supporting the RNLI at the same time. The package includes several RNLI publications, plus free sea safety advice, product discounts, an RNLI membership card giving access to the RNLI’s College in Poole and the opportunity to attend the RNLI’s Annual Presentation of Awards.

The RNLI has been using Yamaha outboards on various rescue craft for over 15 years. And more recently, the charity has not only specified Yamaha WaveRunner VX personal watercraft for RNLI lifeguard beach rescue, but it also selected the F115 outboard to power its fleet of Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboats.

The Yamaha/RNLI offer is open not only to buyers of Yamaha outboards but also to those who buy new Yamaha E-drives and WaveRunner personal watercraft from authorised UK dealers. To view the latest products available from Yamaha, visit www.yamaha-motor.co.uk.
