Our team is experienced and trained to handle all marine repairs and upgrades.

Most families do not use their boat for just one thing. One trip might be focused on fishing, while the next has kids, coolers, swimming gear, and friends aboard. Our Sportsman and Sea Pro options cover that mix well, with layouts that still give anglers useful deck space while keeping enough seating and storage for ordinary family days.
For boating on the Chesapeake and Virginia’s tidal rivers, look closely at how the boat feels when everyone is aboard. Seating, shade, storage, swim access, and open deck space all matter. The best family boat is usually the one that still works well when nobody is fishing.
Our new family boat inventory includes Sportsman Heritage and Open models along with Sea Pro options. These boats give you space for cruising, swimming, and relaxing while still keeping useful fishing features for days when rods and tackle come aboard.
Browse our available family boats online or visit us in Saluda or Deltaville to compare seating, storage, deck space, and layouts in person.
A used family boat can be a practical way to get more space and features without focusing only on current-year models. What matters most is finding a boat that fits your passenger count, storage needs, fishing habits, and the way your family actually spends time on the water.
Browse our current used inventory or let us know what size and layout you have in mind.
If your current boat no longer has the space or layout your family needs, it may be time for something that fits the way you use the water now. Trade in your boat and explore financing options for a setup that works for cruising, fishing, swimming, and family days on the Chesapeake.
