This is in response to Michael K. Sounds to me like you didn'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. read more

Boater's Landing - Key West 239FS with Yamaha 300XCA - Boat Dealers Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

I wish I can say that my experience was amazing but UNFORTUNATELY it was not. I purchased a 2018 key west brand new so that son was safe along with my self on the water. After a year in the boat has had multiple minor issues that Billy lied and told us was under warranty, refusing to fix by saying "its my problem" . We purchased a 239fs powered by a Yamaha 200ph, if you call any other dealership they will refuse to ever take the boat on trade due to be WAY Underpowered. When I brought this to Billys attention, he told me "tuff shit I already purchased it" after that he asked me if I wanted to trade my boat back in so he can collect another percentage of commission. I could not believe this actually came out of a business owners mouth. After calling calling around to other key west dealers, I have found many others are treated the same. I would suggest asking around before pulling the trigger like I did. From out customer service to how read more

Boaters Landing, Fort Myers Beach Well, let me tell you how this place does business!!! We went there to look at the Key West 263 FS with twin 200's for our place in Lake of the Ozarks. Their price was 124K plus a trailer 5K and a Garmin chart plotter 4K, totaling 133K. Iwent online and found the same boat at Marshall's Marine in SC for just under 120K. It did include the Garmin and a nice trailer. There was 13K difference. So therefore, I went to Boaters Landing and spoke to the salesman and showed him Marshall's price to see if he would match or come close to it. He was very nice but, said I'm very sorry but I just cannot match that price or even come close to it. He then suggested, if they can sell it for that price you should put a deposit on it now to hold it. So, I called Marshall's, talked to Ray, a salesman, put a $1000.00 deposit on their boat. The following day I got a call back and was told that they could not sell me the boat, do to the fact that BOATERS LANDING called them and complained that the boat was being sold to cheap and cheating them out of there business (maybe if they lowered their prices to the same as their competitors they would do more business! And we would not have to shop around so much). BOATERS LANDING is a high-priced place and they use very unethical practices to get you to pay there extremely high prices. Therefore, I strongly suggest future boat buyers avoid this place like the plague. Jan J Player read more

Great experience from the whole team, super easy buying process and the delivery went flawlessly. Billy, George, Willy and Tyler were all helpful and made this purchase everything we could have hoped for. See you all on the water! read more

What a fantastic, let me say again and shout FANTASTIC dealership. 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. read more

Boater's Landing - Our awesome 22' Key West!! - Boat Dealers Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

We purchased a Four Winns 27HD RS from Billy at this dealership. The entire process from order, test ride, delivery and after purchase was an A++ experience. Communication, honesty and the willingness to go over and above to exceed mine and my wife's expectations were second to none. These guys are great to work with. We'll be back as we plan on going larger in the next few years. I Highly recommend this dealership. read more

I wandered into Boater's Landing one Saturday after a terrible experience at Bass Pro. I met Jack and the rest is history. He is knowledgeable, friendly, honest, paid attention to every detail and kept me updated throughout every step of the process. I ended up getting twice the boat for a few thousand less and it was ready to pick up right when he said it would be. He even sent me pictures of my boat when it was ready, somehow he seemed just as excited about it as I did! I would never consider going anywhere else, Boater's Landing and Jack truly care about getting you into what you want and they don't just treat you like another sale. read more

Bought a lot of cars and boats in our lives and it's usually painful to do so. I must admit this was a pleasurable experience dealing with Mark first then the owners as well. Very down to earth people, no high pressure, know their stuff and VERY FAIR with prices. Left a deposit today and hopefully the remainder of the transaction will be as positive as it has been already! thanks to Mark the salesman who always seems to be smiling.... Nice to see happy people and dealing wtih one is even BETTER! read more

I would recommend that if you are in the market for a new boat definitely check out Boaters Landing. I talked with the sales person Jack Buck. After checking out several boat dealerships I realized Jack was not your ordinary sales person. He really cared about the client in every way . Then the after sale service is awesome. They set the bar on customer service. Check them out for yourself. read more
