On 05/14/2026, while at Cesna Landing in Santa Rosa Beach, waiting for an unexperienced boater to launch a pontoon boat he was test driving, we were cut off by the owner of this business. When he approached by an elderly female party of the pontoon boat, explaining we were waiting for her son and give him some space, the owner snapped at the elderly woman and repeatedly told her, "its a 2 lane ramp". He saw us staged in our boat and truck and as soon as the unexperienced boater removed his truck from the ramp, the owner cut right in front of us, launching his boat and taking up most of the ramp. After learning we were waiting, there was no apology, no acknowledgement...nothing. We later learned, the owner demanded the unexperienced boater to move his pontoon boat at the end of the dock so he could launch despite knowing the previously stated information. His website claims he's a "family man" yet he was a complete asshole and disrespectful to every boater who was at the ramp before him. We are locals here and launch from Cesna several times a week and have NEVER had a bad experience. The boater he was also rude to, is a local Physician. As retired cops, my husband and I have seen people shot over less. You never know who you are being rude and disrespectful to. I would not suggest doing business such an arrogant asshole. read more
