Pride Marine Group Welcomes Skyline Marina Into The Family

Pride Marine Group and Skyline Marine

Dear Skyline customer,

We are writing you this letter to inform you about an exciting announcement. Effective July 17th, Skyline Marina will become part of a larger family, the Pride Marine Group. The  prestigious brands of Nautique, Chaparral, Robalo, Edgewater, Crownline, Chris-Craft and South Bay will now be offered along with Sea Ray, Meridian and Hatteras.

Dan Pride will be taking over as General Manager for both Skyline and Pride’s current brokerage business. Dan brings a wealth of knowledge of cruisers and yachts as he has worked with Sea Ray and other manufacturers for over 20 years.

Seven additional locations are now available to better serve you: Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau/Joe, Lake of Bays, Balsam Lake, Innisfil and Wye Heritage Marina. This is in addition to Skyline’s three locations (Bridgeport Marina, Bayport Marina and the Orillia showroom).

We wish Frank Farnsworth and Cameron Wardlaw all the best in their retirement and congratulate them on successfully growing Skyline for the past 53 years. They will both continue to offer support and advice to the new organization.

I want to thank you for your patronage of Skyline during the last 53 years. We look forward to being able to service your future boating needs with our broader range of products and services.

Visit us at www.pridemarinegroup.com and www.skylinemarina.com

Sincerely,
