JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 25, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Mariner's Choice International Inc., (Pink Sheets:MCII) announced today that it has signed a sponsorship and endorsement agreement with professional angler and sport fishing personality, Robert Sutton, for the upcoming tournament fishing season during which Sutton will compete in approximately 25 events throughout the Southeastern U.S.
Under the terms of agreement with Florida-based Sutton, Mariner's Choice will have its logo and website prominently displayed on Sutton's boat during these tournaments along side Sutton's other sponsors that include noted manufacturers, retailers, and publications. Additionally, the Company hopes to increase brand and product awareness through the distribution of 'MC Marine Maintenance Starter Kits' at each tournament event. The Mariner's Choice brand will also be prominently displayed in conjunction with fishing charters out of Thrifty Outdoors in Jacksonville, FL, which Sutton operates, as well as at the numerous fishing seminars he conducts.
Mariner' Choice most recent endorser, Robert Sutton, commented, "I am a tournament fisherman and charter captain, so it is crucial that I keep my boat looking like new at all times. Now that I've discovered the Mariner's Choice line of products, my maintenance routine has become worlds easier. Mariner's Choice is, hands down, the best line of marine maintenance products available. Mariner's Choice not only outperforms the other brands, but it does this without using harsh chemicals that can damage your eyes, your skin, the gel coat on your boat, or the environment. This is really an amazing product line."
Sutton approached Mariner's Choice for a sponsorship after having tested the products himself. His experience with the products was such that he wanted to endorse the full line and promote it everywhere possible. Sutton continued, "I have been thoroughly impressed with all of the Mariner's Choice products. You won't see me wasting my time or my money using the other brands anymore. I highly recommend the Mariner's Choice line of products to anyone who wants to keep their boat protected and in pristine condition for years to come."
