Testimonials

On 10/18/2025 William Walker had this to say:
What a great boat buying experience with Dean , Grant and the staff! I would definitely recommend this dealership for purchasing your next boat.

On 10/9/2025 Geoff Howell had this to say:
Dean and Grant were awesome to do business with and the transaction was flawless. I drove from Louisiana to purchase a boat and they made the whole experience seamless. From initial contact to planning boat equipment installs and sea-testing, every part was extremely professional. After sales communication has been exceptional and I would highly recommend this business to others!

On 9/25/2025 Kerry Hancock had this to say:
Ok, this is my latest review for my Suzuki outboard and Captains Choice Boats, bottom line is I am still thrilled. CCB just finished my first motor service and as expected there were no issues. They gave me a time to drop off my boat and had the parts pulled and were ready to go. They had ambituosly promised a one day turn and then delivered as promised. The shop is busy, but scheduling is obviously organized. Grant and the entire team are great to work with and the Suzuki is as satisfying as the first day I started it. My original post last spring... I bought a new Suzuki 150 outboard, to replace my Mercury 150, for my older Cape Horn 19. What a difference I could not be more thrilled with the performance. Grant, and his crew did a fantastic job recommending and installing that motor.

On 9/17/2025 hugo saenz had this to say:
Great experience. Easy to deal with. They took the time to meet my needs and to show the features of the boat. I highly recommend this outfit.

On 9/14/2025 shane lavoie had this to say:
Dean and his crew always take good care of me. Had a pretty big job done recently and they went above and beyond. Took care of getting me a warranty part ordered, delivered, and installed in less lan a week. Dean enjoys talking about fishing. He will talk with you as if you've know each other for years. Highly recommend Captains Choice Boats.
