Professionalism in Samuel P's review is correct. As an example, other services tend to send and hire marine techs who are mostly concerned with quickly turning the wrench. In contrast, watching Robert showed that he very carefully removed and replaced the spark plugs - avoiding possible serious damage to the PWC through forceful mis-threading.

Stokes recently completed our dock on the NW spreader and my wife and I have been extremely…read moresatisfied with their work. We would choose them again, without hesitation. Stokes built us the dock WE wanted, while other company's proposals were often trying to talk us out of things. In the planning stages their "we can do that!" attitude, the way Nick returned phone calls quickly, his enthusiastic professionalism set them apart from other builders. We were happy with the type/specifications of the lift they included in the bid plus the canopy and tiki sub-contractors they chose. They were not the lowest bidders but we felt assured that they would deliver quality work. And they 100% did. This positive attitude followed through into the construction phase where the crews showed up as scheduled and, once they started, worked non-stop from 8am to dark, and even weekends sometimes. They worked like an efficient, well-managed team. Credit to the team lead Rod for his positive can-do attitude, work ethic and attention to detail which you could clearly tell inspired his crew to live up to his standards. We really can't say enough good things about Stokes. We absolutely LOVE our dock. I mean how often do you get to design and build a dock! Enjoy it!! You can trust Stokes to make it a good experience.

An initial estimate took months to receive, and significant changes were made along the way without prior approval, resulting in costs far exceeding what was originally discussed. Communication and documentation were ongoing concerns, and we ultimately had to spend additional time and money addressing issues after the boat was returned. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend getting a detailed written contract and clear change-order process in place before proceeding.

I was able to pick up the car about two hours after drop-off. When I walked up to the car, everything was beautiful. Superior Marine really looks after your car, they spend time caring for it and they treat you with respect. I won't hesitate to take my car here in the future and I'll definitely refer others to do the same. Stop sending your car to the automatic car washes and the overpriced Downtowner's where they put your car on a conveyor belt and don't give you or it any attention. Bring your car here instead!

What a fantastic, let me say again and shout FANTASTIC dealership…read more In honor of "people, process and product" this dealership is the epitome of professional people, a fair process (esp for out-of-towners new to the area), and product. People first: I was helping my brother-in-law (from SC) shop for a boat. I found Boater's Landing by chance using Boat Trader to come look at used boats for sale (a Trophy with a trolling motor in addition to the main engine, actually a pretty nice used boat but the owner was a little "too proud" of his nicely equipped boat). I had also Googled "Key West" unaware at the time that the boats are made in SC (more on the "product" later). Mark came up to us as we were looking at the used Bayliner Trophy and asked my brother-in-law (B-i-L) what he was looking for. Upon learning the requirements, Mark immediately said "you're looking at the wrong boat" and took us to another boat that was EXACTLY what my brother-in-law wanted. I was immediately impressed that someone could LISTEN to a customers "requirements" and detect the tone of feature emphasis in such a thorough manner. This used boat was fairly priced but ....a little too old. So my B-i-L asked to see what a new boat would look like in comparison. Now for the SECOND time in a row, Mark took us to EXACTLY what my B-i-L wanted. Voila.....behold the Key West 189 FS (FS for Family Sport). PROCESS: When it came time to discuss price and outfitting, Mark explained that the dealership "does not fool around" and that "we start out right" right off the bat. Sure enough, the price quoted (we'd already shopped at few other competitors and knew their pricing style) was extremely fair. Even after my B-i-L sealed the deal, I kept double checking prices and deals online and sure enough, we had been treated VERY FAIRLY. Let me hasten to add that if you are becoming a local boater in the MARVELOUS area of Fort Myers (Sanibel Island, Boca Grande Pass, wow...what a selection of waters to fish in for a "bay boat"), then you WANT a dealer that makes a fair profit so they can stay in business and keep GOOD PEOPLE. Thus, Boater's Landing has a fantastic shop and a very dedicated marine engine repairman (Peter) who like myself is retired military (him USAF, me USN). Peter was effusive as he bragged about his dealership and the high quality of the Key West boats and their Yamaha outboards. Because my B-i-L was going to store the boat in a boat lift on Pine Island, Boater's Landing would deliver the boat to his dock (there is a convenient boat ramp very close by) and come get it for maintenance and repair whenever needed. WHAT A DEAL: first pickup free and then $100 thereafter for a "there and back" pick up and redelivery. My B-i-L has operated heavy equipment professionally and values the merit of routine periodic maintenance and so this service saved him the expense of buying a trailer and the trouble of storing it empty. PRODUCT: We were delighted to discover that Key West is made in SC (at which everyone in Charleston knows is the place where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers JOIN to form the Atlantic Ocean) and their CEO, I say again THEIR CEO, has several YouTube videos showing off how they make the Key West (made in SC....go figure...it's the DESTINATIONS that drive us seaward, not the point of departure). Seriously people, check out those videos to watch professional craftsmen build a quality boat from start to finish. I hope I am able to post some pictures along with this review because I really want to demonstrate the credibility of this review. I am NOT related to anyone at Boater's Landing and this is a real experience (circa early June 2016). None other than John Paul Jones ("father of the Navy") taught us that "no meritorious act" should pass without verbal reward and Boater's Landing has EARNED high praise.

This is in response to Michael K. Sounds to me like you…read moredidn't do your research/homework on your purchase concerning the size motor that you purchased with your boat. Can't blame them for what you didn't do. Any time I make a purchase for that amount of money I usually spend time on forums seeing what other people have done. It's best to learn from their mistakes instead of making your own. No type of dealership is perfect whether it's cars, boats or motorcycles and Boater's Landing is no different. You should always do your research and be on your guard when you deal with salesmen that work on commission... Here is a photo of my boat that I purchased from them. It is also a Key West 239FS but it has a 300hp on it. It will do between 50-55 mph depending on water conditions and load.

Its way more than the sale of a boat when you purchase from John Kray and Sportboats Marine, it's the beginning of a friendship.
