Unfortunately, our experience with the service department has been considerably different. During the sale, we were repeatedly assured that MarineMax had one of the best teams of technicians and one of the largest service departments in the country, and that they would be able to quickly address the outstanding items on our delivery checklist. We ultimately chose to purchase our boat through MarineMax in large part because of that service commitment. We purchased the boat on July 17, 2026, and, unfortunately, we have yet to receive any meaningful updates or progress from the service department regarding the outstanding delivery checklist. We have called, emailed, and followed up multiple times, but have received very little communication or tangible progress. Given the number of dealers and the significant inventory currently available in the boating market, we had other options. We specifically chose MarineMax because we were told that the service department and level of support would set them apart. Unfortunately, that promise has not been reflected in our experience so far. Ultimately, we were forced to take the boat to another dealer and pay out of pocket to have the majority of the outstanding checklist items addressed simply so we could enjoy the boat this season. We sincerely hope MarineMax will follow through on the commitments made during the sale and work with us to resolve the remaining items during the off-season. We had a very positive experience with Mitch and the sales team, but the service experience to this point has been disappointing and has not lived up to the expectations that were set when we purchased the boat

We are out of state buyers and Kyle was incredibly helpful in the entire buying process. He negotiated with the seller to acquire a very fair price and is extremely knowledgeable in all things boating. Rita, the office manager, was also highly appreciated throughout our transaction. Being new to boat financing and out of state purchasing, I often called Rita to answer questions that I had throughout the process. Rita was generous with her time and easy to work with. Overall I highly recommend Knot 10 when considering a boat or yacht from their fleet. Their service, experience and commission rate (7 vs 10) can't be beat! Best, Heather Graham

With the current and unprecedented social distancing restrictions in place. I got caught between the placing a deposit and traveling to perform a sea-trial and pick-up my boat.

TommyO (whom I have yet to personally meet) immediately empathized and did not hesitate to assure me that Whalertowne business practices place people first; that's just who they are. As pleasant as he was during the sale, he cheerfully returned my deposit in full. I see what TommyO meant; not by word but by deed.
