alt

For the fourth year in a row Pride Marine Group is proud to have been honoured by Boating Industry as Canada's Highest Ranking multi location dealership in the Top 100 Dealer Program. This year the Pride Marine Group announced that they have joined the Top 10, placing 9th overall.

With over 8000 marinas and boat dealerships across North America, applications for the Top 100 Program were considered by a non-partisan panel of industry giants including a cross section of finance companies, boat manufacturers, vendors and engine manufacturers. These panelists judged dealers based on set criteria including current financial success, long range planning and viability, customer satisfaction and retention, and their efficiency of internal systems.

A release from the company stated that, “While we are proud of the recognition we have received so far, we will continue to strive to better each and every component of our business in an effort to give our customers unequalled experiences through interactions with unrivaled dealerships. Thank you to all our loyal customers, the recognitions we receive are a direct result of your commitments to our business.”

Pride Marine Group was founded in 1986 with a single location on Lake Muskoka and has expanded to 6 locations throughout Ontario through the vision and direction of the family ownership.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska
