These Sea Ray dealers were selected from thousands of dealers in North America. Dealers are judged on business operations, professionalism, marketing tactics, customer service and more. “For 60 years, Sea Ray dealers have been serving loyal and repeat customers,” said Brad Anderson, president and general manager, Sea Ray Sport Boats and Sport Cruisers. “Sea Ray is the most awarded brand with the most awarded dealer network in the country. Our dealers are the face of Sea Ray in the marketplace. We congratulate these elite dealers for this well-deserved recognition.”

For 59 years, Sea Ray has set the standard and pushed the limits of performance and craftsmanship to elevate the boating experience. 2019 will mark the 60th anniversary of Sea Ray at the helm of defining the boating lifestyle.  Sea Ray and its dealer partners enter a new decade of innovation, with great momentum fueled by a strong fall season.

Sea Ray has also continued investments in its Tellico operations in Tennessee, which just celebrated its 35th anniversary in September.  “At Tellico’s 35th anniversary, it was a personal honor to recognize our dedicated team, including 18 individuals that have served the facility since it began in 1983.  The Sykes Creek manufacturing team in Merritt Island, Fla. has increased production of the flagship SLX 400 Outboard to ensure that Sea Ray is able to better meet consumer demand.  Our teams at both Tellico and Sykes Creek ensure that our commitment to meticulous craftsmanship is carried out in every Sea Ray. As our company continues to evolve, the pride and passion of our brand shines through from bold, distinctive designs to industry-leading technology, and to a commitment to quality, craftsmanship and service that will lead us into an even more exciting next 60 years,” said Anderson.
