After being out of boating for about ten years due to job-related travel, I decided to get back…read moreinto boat ownership on the east coast of Florida this summer. My wife and I became interested in a split console design by Robalo with a Four Stroke Yamaha. I started a national search online and found a used boat that interested us at Florida Family Marine in Deland, Florida. While I was in Orlando on business, I made a call to Florida Family Marine and was fortunate enough to connect with Josh Gourley, the Sales Manager. From beginning to end, the process of acquiring the boat was made easy and enjoyable by Josh and the entire team at Florida Family Marine. The staff on Old New York Avenue politely showed me every aspect of the used boat, and they disclosed both good and not so good items and made everything on the boat 100% functional before I picked her up. They detailed the cushions and cockpit as well as the hull and made the boat feel new to me. The test drive on the St. Johns River (which included some much-appreciated trailering schooling) with Josh was more like a fun family outing with your relaxed brother-in-law than a shake-down run! Josh and the Florida Family Marine team take the hassles out of purchasing a used boat. Boats are expensive vessels in 2025, and this family business takes the risk and discomfort out of the process with a "customer first" focus from beginning to end. They are patient and thorough and insist on making the process an enjoyable effort. This is a model that should be emulated for used boat sales across the nation. I would very highly recommend Josh, Austin, and the entire Florida Family Marine Team.

This is important because I traveled 1.5 hours one way to see it. Second, Frank, Mark and Geoff were awesome. Really wonderful people to help me through the buying process. I also want to mention Austin responded to my initial email inquiry in a very timely manner and fully answered my questions. My message to the owner, you are lucky to have such great employees. I love the boat I purchased. It was the one I really wanted but couldn't quite afford until I found Florida's Family Marine. Best price in the whole state. I will definitely tell any of my friends and coworkers who may be thinking of purchasing a vessel to consider Florida's Family Marine first. Thank you again for a terrific buying experience!

We recently purchased a Bimini for $1,634 including tax. After installation and upon a close…read moreinspection, we realized the port stay is not centered in the stay slit. The starboard stay is also more inward leaving no room for adjustment. When we raised this concern about the tension on the Bimini, Bill did come out to re-examine the Bimini. He reassured us this was normal and it would not result in unnecessary wear. However, when I look at other sailboat Biminis at our marina they all have stays which are centered in the stay slits. Boatswain's Locker's Bimini has a generally nice design but for this price, we are not pleased with the fit or follow-up to adjust once the issue was brought to their attention.
