Nautical Ventures Marine Center Tampa Bay - Holiday, Florida

This has been the best experience in our life! JORDAN, MATT and ETHAN were so great and helpful all along the way. It was exceptional service even after the transaction was done. I feel like we made new friends instead of just a sale or a number. They show they truly care about buyer satisfaction! Im very happy with everything. They wont disappoint! This company is VERY lucky to have such wonderful employees working for them.

We recently acquired a stunning Tidewater center console from Nautical Ventures, and I couldn't be happier with our choice! Before finalizing our decision, we explored various boat dealerships, but ultimately, we knew we found the right fit. The customer service here has been exceptional, extending far beyond the sale.

Just before a hurricane hit, we found ourselves in a tricky situation—unable to pick up our new boat. To our amazement, the team at Nautical Ventures went above and beyond, towing our vessel hours away to protect it from potential hurricane damage. Their dedication to ensuring our boat's safety truly impressed us.

Throughout the buying process and even after the purchase was complete, communication has been seamless. If you're in the market for a boat, I wholeheartedly recommend this dealership. They’ve made our experience not just positive, but memorable!

If you are in the market for a boat Nautical Ventures is the only place you need to go! Their customer service is top notch!!! My husband and I just bought a tidewater 210 LXF from them and every person we dealt with along the way went above and beyond to make the experience a great one. I truly am blown away, they genuinely put the customer and their experience first over just making a sale. We worked directly with Josh, Rob, Scott, Matt and Lindsey and every single one was honest and straightforward and made the process smooth and fun. I would buy a boat over and over from Nautical Ventures. I can't say enough good things about them and our experience. The whole team truly impressed me! You will not be disappointed!

I keep forgetting to make this post and usually I dont write reviews but I definitely need to do a shoutout here. I bought my 2022 Sailfish 241 from the Tampa Boat Show a few months ago. My salesman was/is Andrew Gonzalez. He worked his butt off getting me the best possible deal And I’m not an easy person to deal with. He went above and beyond and was fantastic, as well as his sales manager. But it doesn’t stop there. My boat, as any new boat from the factory, had a couple of small details that required attention. Andrew and his service manager Phillip Smallwood really hit it out of the park. They took care of all the concerns, added a few extra accessories I purchased and did it all in a very reasonable timeframe. Phillip kept me up to date the entire time. He did my 20 hour service and just handled everything with incredible care.
Thank you for everything. I wish I remembered the rest of the team that assisted but I’m horrible with names. But a big shoutout to them as well. Excellent Team Work. Excellent Dealer. Excellent Boat.

I wish I could give 10 stars. This has been the best buying experience!! From sales all the way to management me and my husband have been blown away at how professional, helpful, knowledgeable and respectful all the staff has been. We have been working with our sales person Andrew Gonzalez on finding the perfect boat for our family for over a year. Andrew has been readily available at any given moment to answer questions, send informative documents and help in anyway possible. He has also invited us to several boat shows, several sea trials and to their lot to look at several options he found that match what we have been looking for to make sure we are 100% happy with our decision. Once we finally made a decision on what boat we wanted, We have sat and talked with both Andrew and his manager Scott Pickwick and it was clear they care more about their customers being happy with the choice rather than pushing for a sale. They went over all of our modifications and options with us and made sure we had everything we wanted to seal the deal. It seems like we went to almost every other dealer on the west coast and central Florida and the service from Nautical Ventures was unmatched and kept us coming back. From the moment you reach out to start your boat finding journey with Andrew, to handling the business side with Scott, to the very end where you pick up your beautiful boat, I know you like myself will have a flawless experience. Can’t wait to continue doing business with them while we get out on the water in our beautiful new boat! Thank you Nautical Ventures for this beast of a Wellcraft 302. These twin Verado 400’s will definitely keep us moving ?

My family and I were in the market for a new boat and stopped in to look at the Sailfish and other center console brands offered. Our sales representative , Andrew, was beyond exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and helped us understanding everything we needed to know about boats, since this is our first boat. After narrowing our boats to the top 3, we asked Andrew for a sea trial on the sailfish. The boat had to be brought up from Sarasota on a short notice, Andrew made it happen and got the boat to the clearwater location so we could compare with the other contenders.

On the day of our sea trial Andrew and the captain were amazing, they showed us around everything about operating the boat on the water. They put a lot of time and effort other brands/dealers simply skipped over on their sea trials. Even though we didn't go with Sailfish I would recommend Andrew and Nautical Ventures to anyone looking for a boat.

After looking at many pontoon boats in Tampa Bay all the way down to Ft. Myers we just bought the StarCraft Smoker 2024 CX23DL- Bar from Nautical Ventures- Tampa/Holiday! There are many great pontoon boats to select from, our decision came down to a great boat at a great price with an outstanding, convenient dealership to support the boat! We found all sales personnel friendly because of their desire to sell you a boat! DAVID Rodriguez our sales person at Nautical Ventures went ABOVE just doing his job by meeting our time crunch with making sea trials happen by using his own truck, dealership ones currently in use, to launch the boats! He was instrumental in negotiating a great price and even AFTER the sales was made he was available to come to us to help with our questions! Highly recommend David & Nautical Ventures if you want someone to go above & beyond others! Ken & Tena Ritchhart

This place is the most pleasant for all your boating needs. Relaxing atmosphere and salesman true need to understand clients wants and needs makes this place the best boat dealer I visited. It was a pleasure to work with Andrew who I now consider a buddy of mine. If you want knowledge and and expertise ask for Andrew.
