Engines Plus is excited to announce that Selva Marine will be making its Southampton Boat Show debut this year, following the launch of a brand-new partnership that sees Engines Plus become the exclusive distributor for Selva in the UK and Ireland.
Fresh from a successful showcase at Seawork 2025, where Engines Plus unveiled two new outboard models in Selva’s commercial-focused XS Hi Torque range, the team is now preparing to bring this dynamic and versatile outboard engine brand to a broader audience of leisure boaters, boatbuilders, and marine professionals at the Southampton show.
A New Era of Outboard Power
Selva Marine is a major European outboard engine manufacturer, offering over 240 models across a wide spectrum of applications — from compact portable engines to high-performance systems designed for commercial and leisure craft alike. Known for their reliability, ease of installation, and European engineering, Selva engines are widely used across the continent — and now, they’re more accessible than ever in the UK.
“Selva is a fantastic addition to our marine portfolio,” says Dave Swain – Applications Engineer / Marine Product Manager. “It gives us the opportunity to serve the rapidly growing outboard market with high-quality, proven products that complement our existing brands without overlapping them.”
What Makes Selva Stand Out?
Visitors to the Southampton Boat Show will be able to explore a wide selection of Selva Marine outboards, including:
- Lightweight portable models like the Black Bass 8hp (27kg) and Piranha 9.9hp (30.5kg)
- Electric start variants with integrated battery systems for ultimate convenience
- High-performance XSR models, including the Amberjack 25 XSR and White Whale 300 XSR, developed for European waters
- The new XS Hi Torque outboards, ideal for commercial use and newly launched at Seawork 2025
With Selva’s strong stock availability and complete engine packages designed for minimal setup time, these outboards are well-suited to both individual users and OEM installations.
Bringing European Power to British Waters
This new partnership gives UK dealers and customers a reliable route to Selva products, backed by Engines Plus’ in-country support, technical expertise, and after-sales service. Post-Brexit, Selva was seeking a new distribution model in the British Isles — and Engines Plus was the perfect fit.
The collaboration also aligns with market trends: in the UK, there’s growing demand for outboard-powered vessels under 12 metres, with outboards increasingly replacing traditional inboard and sterndrive systems. Selva’s expansive range gives Engines Plus the flexibility to meet these needs across the leisure and light commercial sectors.
See Selva for Yourself at the Show
Southampton Boat Show 2025 will mark Selva Marine’s first appearance under the Engines Plus banner, and the team is looking forward to showcasing just how versatile and user-friendly these outboards are.
