Had a great buying experience with PJ and Paul. Great people. Had a few hiccups in service but they made it right.

Courtney in service was great at keeping me updated and taking care of our 2500 CB!

I cannot say enough about the outstanding experience I had with Adventure Marina in Fort Walton. From the moment I began the purchasing process to the final delivery, their professionalism, transparency, and commitment to customer satisfaction were second to none. Buying a boat is a big decision, and Adventure Marina made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable.

What truly sets them apart is their dedication to service. They went above and beyond to ensure my boat was delivered in perfect condition, and they didn’t just hand me the keys and send me on my way. They took the time to walk me through every detail of my new boat, ensuring I fully understood its capabilities. The sea trial was an incredible bonus, allowing me to get comfortable behind the wheel while receiving expert guidance.

A special thanks to PJ, who provided exceptional customer service with superlative attention to detail. His knowledge, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. It’s rare to find this level of care in any industry, and PJ truly exemplifies what outstanding customer service should be.

If you’re looking for the best place to buy a boat in Florida, look no further than Adventure Marina in Fort Walton. They offer great deals, first-class service, and an unparalleled commitment to their customers. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new boat!

I purchased a new 2023 Xpress skiff 18.5 back in March of this year. I took the boat out 7 times, each time I took the boat out it resulted in me either breaking down on the water or something not working on the boat. They would say it was fixed, I'd drive back to the dealership which is over an hour away from me for the boat to still be doing the same problems once I got it back home and on the water. The fuel gauge has never read right and the last I was told was "well you know it's full". I've been polite, I've been rude, I've been let down. They are very eager to sell you a boat, their service department will lie straight to your face. Pj, Chase, Ashley all will go out of their way to tell you a straight up lie. If i would have known that I'd be buying a new boat with problems, I would have saved my 40k and purchased a used one off market place.

*UPDATED* The bottom paint that was applied quickly showed signs of failing and ultimately completely failed a few months later. The boat was hauled out for a mechanical problem at a reputable dealer in NOLA and the entire bottom paint had to be re-applied. We contacted Chase at Adventure Marina and requested them to honor their 1 year warranty. They claimed they did not miss their top coat window and blamed the failure on a blown generator that had happened 3 months prior. We contacted the manufacturer of the bottom paint (Sea Hawk) and the rep claimed that not only had they missed their top coat window but, they put a barrier coat over top of the existing bottom paint that should have been removed before they even started. Labor costs have skyrocketed since they are having to use a sand blaster to remove the multiple layers of product that has since turned as rigid as concrete. Adventure Marina has since stopped taking our calls and refused all Warranty work. We will be seeking legal counsel to resolve further. I would highly recommend taking your business to someone who stands behind their work and follows the manufacturers application guidelines. *Updated* We had our 36 Pursuit boat hauled out for service and a fresh bottom paint for the new year. Chase and the crew at Adventure Marina made it happen within a reasonable time frame and communicated clearly with us during the repair process. They were very accommodating to our needs.

Got a great deal on a new Tidewater boat here. We researched for over a year and talked to several other dealers, but always ended up back here. Been using their ramp and dock all summer and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

Me and two friends have been storing our boats at Adventure Marina when we go up to Destin for work. The staff is always super helpful and flexible. They have their own boat ramp which makes it really easy to get on the water in a short amount of time. Try them out. They're awesome!

This business does not support the local construction crews and road crews trying to enhance the area for easy flow of traffic or bridge repair. Not providing needed support does not help the community.
