Established in 1988, Pen~Marine Sdn Bhd is the brainchild of Oh Kean Shen and Pheh Hoe Huat, two old friends who share a common love of the sea. Although a mechanical engineer by training, Oh Kean Shen, whose family already had a thriving shipyard business, took up the reins of the business upon his father’s retirement.

Even in those early days, Oh saw the huge potential of the pleasure boat industry in the region and decided to undertake the challenge of introducing imported recreational crafts into the market. His search for a reliable partner led him to Pheh Hoe Huat who was then operating a successful automobile repair business and garnering the custom of many owners of exotic cars in Penang with his in-depth engineering knowledge.

Pheh too, had been involved in boating from a young age and an avid angler for more than two decades. His vast boating experience, technical know-how plus his uncanny ability to interpret customer requirements was exactly what was needed. The resultant partnership has been both successful and synergistic with Oh leading the sales effort and Pheh heading the technical operations.

With more than 25 years’ of experience between them, they are guided by the core principles of honest advice and good service. Boats should meet customer requirements and customer education is important to ensure that there is ample guidance to operational procedures, maintenance and boating knowledge for each boat owner. Today, Pen~Marine is a leading player in the pleasure boat industry in Malaysia and the Southeast-Asian region.

Pen~Marine believes in sound, long-term business philosophy. The business was established with a clear awareness that leisure boating activities would require time and resources to develop. Furthermore, the business had to be built upon conservatively, evolving as and when the market matured.

Over the years, Pen~Marine has played a major role in the development of pleasure boating in Malaysia. The company has been proactive in building and importing boats which consistently meet the needs of the market. At the same time, we have also looked into providing boating facilities and value-added services to our clients.

A boat is a serious investment that should lead to years of enjoyment and satifactory returns. However, the boating experience in unique for each individual and as such, requirements will vary from client to client.

Pen~Marine offers a wide range of products which meet the needs of new and seasoned boaters, from day runabouts and coastal cruises to luxurious motoryachts and sportcruisers. In addition to the retail sale and manufacture of boats, we offer our clients shore based facilities and boat management services.
