The NorDav™ Story: Norwegian Marine Engineering
Born out of the unforgiving and violent saltwater environments of the North Sea, NorDav™ was established in Norway in 2013 to simplify how modern mariners carry, deploy and store jet skis and tender boats. Traditional platform configurations often leave vessels vulnerable or require clunky hydraulic modifications. NorDav transformed the marine landscape by creating a streamlined, low-profile mechanical marvel.
Constructed in Scandinavia from maintenance-free, electropolished Duplex stainless steel, NorDav systems deliver twice the mechanical tensile strength and significantly higher corrosion-pitting resistance than conventional 316 marine-grade hardware. It provides maximum safety for heavy payloads in high humidity and extreme sea states.
The Exclusive PMES & NorDav™ Alliance
To eliminate massive international freight fees and long supply-chain delays for regional vessel owners, Pharrell Marine secured status as the exclusive authorized distributor for Australia and Oceania. This alliance ensures boat builders, commercial outfits, and luxury yacht owners have immediate access to tier-one Norwegian engineering with direct on-shore support, rapid parts availability, and fully backed local structural warranties.

How NorDav™ Duplex Outperforms Traditional Market Alternatives
When selecting a swim-platform launch system, it is vital to analyze structural material science, mechanical physics, and operational safety. Many traditional options on the market rely on outdated layouts, heavy lifting requirements, or standard metal treatments. NorDav™ is engineered to directly solve these common maritime challenges, completely outclassing alternative systems across the South Pacific:
| Core Technical Metric | Standard Industry Competitors & Alternatives | NorDav™ Certified Duplex Series |
|---|---|---|
| Satisfaction Track Record | Inconsistent customer feedback, frequent operational complaints, and product returns. | ⭐ 100% Customer Satisfaction Track Record. Flawless history with zero global structural failures and perfect user reviews. |
| Steel Metallurgy | Standard 316 Marine Grade or basic structural alloys. Prone to surface pitting. | Electropolished Duplex Stainless Steel. Offers double the mechanical tensile and yield strength of normal steel. |
| Saltwater Longevity | Basic mechanical brushing or raw finishes that tarnish and corrode quickly under UV/salt spray. | Premium electro-chemical polishing treatment. Natively shields against tea-staining in tropical waters. |
| Recovery Mechanism | Fixed-axis tipping cradles or static rail setups that require immense human physical effort to pull upright. | Patented overhanging cantilevered tipping point. The geometry does the heavy physical lifting for you. |
| Integrated Winch System | External loose hand-winches or separate strap tie-downs that are clunky to assemble and deploy. | Built-in structural winch. Fully integrated, weight-rated manual or high-torque electric winches embedded in the frame. |
| Swim Platform Safety | Bulky permanent rail mounts, fixed block chocks, or permanent steel structures left bolted on the platform. | Flush-mount low-profile quick-release plates. Leaves a completely clean, trip-free deck when unbolted. |
| Hull Form Compatibility | Rigid fixed-angle blocks or basic rubber pads that only match specific hull shapes or cause uneven pressure. | Dynamic pivoting bunks with adaptive geometry. Instantly self-adjusts to match any variable deadrise hull shape. |
| Certified Weight Ratings | Uncertified weight guidelines or lightweight snap systems prone to bending under active ocean swell stresses. | Officially verified, structurally certified load ratings. Stamped load limits up to a safe 500kg / 1100lbs dynamic payload. |
| Launch Vector | Swiveling crane arms or high-angle tilting kits that risk swinging and damaging the luxury yacht’s fiberglass. | True linear glide-out motion over the stern edge. Keeps the secondary craft safely away from your transom paintwork. |
| Platform Real Estate | Oversized horizontal chocks or heavy hydraulic cranes that take up the entire platform space, blocking foot traffic. | Compact spatial design. Engineered specifically to maximize deck space on compact, modern sport-cruiser swim boards. |
| Deployment Time | Complex multi-step configurations requiring multiple crew members to balance, untie, unpin, or swing the craft out. | Effortless one-person operation. The jet ski or tender boat launch takes less than 60 seconds from secure to water. |
| Maintenance Lifecycle | Hydraulic pistons or custom crane systems requiring regular fluid flushes, seal replacements, and professional servicing. | Virtually maintenance-free design. No exposed intricate hydraulic seals, fluid lines, or valves to leak or fail. |
| Oceania Regional Support | Imported overseas alternatives with long shipping times, customs delays, and hard-to-reach international support hubs. | On-shore support hub. Backed by Pharrell Marine Equipment Supplies with localized stock and express regional shipping. |
* Technical Note: While entry-level snap links or basic chocks serve lightweight inflatables, and heavy cranes demand extensive engine room structural reinforcement, the NorDav™ Duplex Series bridges the gap—offering elite superyacht-grade mechanical retrieval without the structural modifications or extreme costs of hydraulic alternatives.
