Our story
More than 35 years in the marine industry
1989
Our own inflatable boats
Dacon designed its own inflatable boats, built in South Korea. In a market run by a few large players, we could offer the same quality at a far fairer price, and boats from those first years are still on the water today.
1995
From boats to electronics
When large outboard-motor manufacturers began selling boats and engines as bundles, fair margins disappeared and we stopped production. The factory was taken over by our former partner A.H. Young Ltd., and Dacon began importing electronic charts from Navionics and Geonav chartplotters.
1996
GPS and Dacon chargers
Agencies for GPS receivers from Micrologic (USA) and MLR (later Margellan, France), and our own Dacon switch-mode battery chargers, co-developed with and built by a French manufacturer.
Then
Inflatables from Italy
Partnerships with ARIMAR in Italy and PLASTIMAR (AUX Marine) kept Dacon inflatable boats on the market until production in Italy ended.
2009
Inflatables from China
A new range of inflatable boats, made only for the Danish market by a manufacturer started by our very first partner from South Korea.
Today
A new generation
Agencies from eight countries, our own Dacon Oxy series, a first look at home and garden, and the next generation of the family at the helm.
Today
