Our Story.

Working 7 years together for a marine dealer, we noticed areas of the boat industry that lacked a joint customer service approach. With recent changes in the boating industry, we knew it was time to make a new impression yet to be offered.

Individually, we bring marketing and sales, operations and service, and certified CMA backgrounds to our team. When we started this endeavor in January of 2023, Jason was in marine sales for 8 years at two different dealers, Joe served in General Manager, Parts Manager, and Service Manager roles for 16 years at the same marine dealer, and Janice served as Comptroller and Finance Manager for the same dealer for 12 years.

Our strength is in our work history together. With that strength we have seen a need to offer a new level of customer service through every phase of boat ownership. "Under one roof", we offer a convenient hand to help maintain and service your boat, provide financing for new and used boats with our local trusting staff, and redefine salesmanship as a friend you can lean on. Thus, our motto, All Hands on Deck, was born. We are here to help you with the traditional hard parts of boat ownership. At First Mates we know how to make boat ownership easy so that you can create more memories on the water with each boat you purchase.

From the entire First Mates Crew, thank you for choosing us to take care of your boating needs!
