A LOT of opportunity to get out there in the cooler weather with hopefully less competition! We are ready to help make your trip enjoyable and successful!
KEEP YOUR BOAT IN TOP RUNNING SHAPE
With the off-season approaching, if you do not plan to use your boat much, it may be a good time to inquire about our monthly RUN AND WASH service for $60/month. With this service, we will launch your boat into the water and start it, let it get to temperature, then do a quick wash to get any dust off the inside. Running your engines monthly helps maintain the engines and batteries. If you are interested in this service, please call the Marine Office at 850-492-0555.
