These guys are the guys to go to! I have worked closely with Joe Davis and Ray Jahn on every sale and always look forward to seeing them and make a point just to stop and say hi because they're just great people! The service department is full of great guys with awesome knowledge. Honest and fair. Best around. You're making a good decision to deal with Fish tale boats in fort Myers

If you ever think about buying a boat from Fish Tale in Fort Myers, please think again!…read more Especially, if Joe Davis is going to be your sale man "RUN". Run as fast out of there as you can. Joe Davis, he is a con artist and Ray Jahn is a liar. I do believe that they all work as a team here. Its really sad that they have such a nice place to have such horrible customer service. The long version is below: My wife and I walked in there 2 months ago to look at there use inventory and the minutes they knew this, NO ONE want to help us. As if we were bothering them. The one sale man who sit in the front on the left as you entering the dealer wanted to send us else where! After we were there for a solid 15 minutes and being passed on to a few sale man, we were helped by JOE DAVIS. We made a deal on a used Grady White and were set up for a sea trial. JOE DAVIS, showed up an hour and 20 minutes late for 1st impression. If I did not like the Grady White as much as I did, I could had walked from that deal already. On the day I came by to pick up the boat with my brand new trailer, Joe Davis was a spotter on port side for the forklift guy. The gentleman who operated the forklift had set my new purchased boat on the trailer based on his direction and scratched the hell out of the keel ( 4 inches long with a 1/2 inch deep in the fiberglass). People make mistakes and I get it. I kept cool and did not even show any frustration at all because I felt really bad for what just happened. The forklift guy offered to get my boat keel fixed and was very apologetic while Joe Davis was just standing not saying a word and act like as if it was the forklift guy's fault. Since Chris ( the fiberglass man) is going to fix my gel coat, I recalled asking them mix up some extra gel coat and fix My other scratches on the back of the boat for a fee. Joe Davis exact word was " Hey, don't worry about it, I will take care all of it for you"! I got the impression that he felt bad for what had happened and he would do this as a return for his screwups. One week later, I was told my boat was ready for pickup. I came by to pick up my boat and found that the gel coat on the keel was awful and non of other scratches were fixed. As if Joe himself had just mixed up a batch of gel coat and slapped it in there and called it done. I showed him the sloppy gel coat job and also mentioned about the unfinished repairs on other scratches. Joe Davis was disbelieve of all the things We found and promised for a 2nd time that it will be done by next week. Prior to this Grady White deal, I brought my old boat (185 Mako CC) in for them to sell on a consignment. I also ask to have them install a keel guard for me using my keel guard that I brought in. I recalled asking Joe Davis what was their procedure on consignment sale and he told me that he will charge 10% of the purchase price and there was no other fees! Another week went by and it's still not finished due to their busy schedule. The following Thursday I was told the boat is ready for pickup. Upon a rival, I was told to pay my bill and on that bill, I was charged $100 for the keel guard installation and $150 for a compression test! When I asked him about the unknown charged for the compression test, he was very rude about it with a temper tantrum. He went on about a list of things that he had been doing for me as a favor and that he was too tired doing things for me for free. Further more, he stated that if I can't even pay $150 bucks for the compression test then I can just forget it and take my boat else where. I asked him what did he do for me for free and what favors that he claimed he was too tired of do for me? He could not give me any straight answer on any of it. Too bad Google limits on characters or I would tell my long version! Ray Jahn (GM), he is a liar and I think they are all related some how to one another here. So they do work together as a crooked team. If you are not spending lots of money here then you are a bother to them. $60,000 was not good enough to them.

Anyone that knows me knows that I'm all about the details especially when it comes to fit and finish. Sportboats Marine did an outstanding job seeing through the many details associated/ my boat build. Its way more than the sale of a boat when you purchase from John Kray and Sportboats Marine, it's the beginning of a friendship. I can contact John at anytime and for any reason long after the purchase of the boat knowing he'll treat me the same as the day we first met. That's a big deal to a guy like me who is from out of state.

They said oh my goodness don't worry about it will get it recleaned. they did that thank God. 3 weeks later I take my boat out on Sunday return to the marina and che back in to have it cleaned up and put back on the storage rack, I get a call on Friday from the dock master (Che) asking me "what I was going to do with my boat? I said what do you mean, he said "it's been sitting in the water since Sunday" they had neglected to take it out of the water! they said "oh our mistake, we'll get the bottom cleaned up from it sitting in the water". I came back to the Marina to see if they had actually done this and guess what, another terrible job! they said oh sorry we're going to get it cleaned again! which they did luckily. last straw was a week later I came on Sunday to take it out, and theres dirty boot prints from the strain to the bow! Total disregard how they take care of your property. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND KEEPING YOUR BOAT HERE! Obviously management could care less how their employees treat your property

Fort Myers Marine is Outstanding!!! I was so dissatisfied…read morewith boat maintenance and repair services in the Naples area for many years, I called Fort Myers Marine to get an estimate. A nice lady Jaime connected me to the service Manager Myron. From the start, he was very helpful and quoted me a reasonable price. After my boat was taken to the Fort Myers Marine, within a few hours, I received a call from Manager Myron, informing me that my boat did not require a major repair service, which I thought I needed. I was impressed with his honesty. He recommended other minor repairs for the boat. He gave me the best price possible for various repairs and services. My boat was quickly fixed and within a day, I was back on the water. While I was testing my new Jack Plate, I was having some electrical issues. Whenever I called him, which was several times, he was always kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. With his proper guidance, I was able to fix all the minor issues. He was so helpful. Wherever I called the office staff, they were all friendly and made me feel I was never a bother. I was SUPER satisfied with Fort Myers Marine and I believe I found the right boat service company for my boat. Manager Myron was very honest, professional, super knowledgeable, and so caring. If you ever need service on your boat, I highly recommend Manage Myron at the Fort Myers Marine! : )
