Kelsey @Dry Harbor Marine and the text that worked on The boat were extremely courteous, And thorough… They did an excellent job and kept our boat clean and dry while we waited for Parts. The tech went above and beyond fixing an issue that we had no idea was a problem I highly recommend this business

Great big buying experience. Kyle made my deal super easy and seamless but it was nice and clean when I got ready to pick it up. Their facilities are top notch and they keep them very very clean. I would highly recommend this dealership as a boat buyer who is pop birds from at least seven different boat dealerships. And I just purchased by third Everglades 243 from them.

We stored our boat at Dry Harbour Marine during the 2021-2022 winter season and were very pleased with the entire experience, from storage to setting a date and launching the boat as promised. Thank you Dry Harbour Marine!
