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.

To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
