As our tag states,
'The Difference is Quality, the
Foundation is Family.'
We have lived and breathed this motto for over 35 years. Our family history is well chronicled and included in Our Story under the heading of 'About Us' in our website that you are now on. We are a family and company that have deep roots in the area and have a proud history of serving our customers in the Tampa Bay area for over 35 years, with a structure, team members and commitment to serve them and future customers for the next 35 years. While we are not the biggest dealership in terms of locations or annual sales, we are the best in terms of commitment to the future, our customers, our team members and our customer base. We are not a volume dealership; never have been, never wanted to be and never will be. Instead, we treat each customer, each sale and each relationship one at a time, taking great pride and appreciation with the friendships and lifelong, loyal customers we have been blessed to earn and maintain. Our customers are greeted by name, not by the number they may be assigned by a mega-dealer that has high sales and employee turnover. Aside from having the best staff, best locations, highest quality partnerships and boat lines available in the marine industry, we also are proud of the following reasons why Quality Boats is not the average boat dealership:
- Waterfront Service Department: Quality Boats has the last waterfront service department on the Gulf side of Clearwater and one of the few remaining in Pinellas County.
- Family Owned and Operated: Quality Boats is the oldest family run boat dealership in the Tampa Bay area; having been founded in 1973 by Ted Bair and expanded 4 times to better serve our customers
- State of the Art Sales Showroom on U.S. 19: Quality Boats has re-invested its resources into its facilities to make a statement that we will be here for the long term to serve our customers. All properties and buildings are owned, not leased, by Quality Boats
- Best Product Offering: Quality Boats represents only the finest products. Pursuit, Scout and Grady-White represent the finest fishing boat lines on the market today from 15'- 37'. Regal represent the finest runabouts and cruising yachts available ranging from 19' ¿ 52'. Not by coincidence, each of the boat suppliers we represent are also independently owned and operated so the customer knows he will not just be 'a number' in the corporate scheme of the operations.
- Personalized Delivery and Orientation: Each customer receives a personalized, one-on-one sea-trial and orientation with the Quality Boats Captain to review all systems and operations of the boat chosen to ensure the customer is confident in operating their new boat.
- Quality Cruisers: Each new boat customer is automatically enrolled into membership of Quality Cruisers, the Quality Boats cruise club that embarks upon weekend adventures throughout the year with other boaters.
- Factory Trained Personnel: Our Sales and Service Staff receive on-going factory authorized training and certification to ensure that their knowledge to assist the customer is professional, current and complete.
- Top 100 Dealer: Quality Boats has been recognized as one of the top boat dealerships in North America by Boating Industry magazine, earning the #11 position in the latest Top 100 Dealer ranking.
- Customer Satisfaction: Quality Boats is consistently among the top dealers in the world for each respected boat supplier for overall customer satisfaction as is rated and recorded by the National Marine Manufacturers Association.
