I purchased a used pontoon boat from Colony Marine in St. Clair Shores. My salesman Aren P. was the best saleperson I have ever had buying cars or boats. He was totally transparent, which was really great, especially when you are purchasing a used boat. When I went to close on the boat, Aren was actually at another store but everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend any of the three Colony Store Locations, and if you want to have a really great salesman, contact Aren as he can sell boats at any of the locations. I look forward to using my new/used pontoon in the spring of 2026.
Great service and they sell some amazing boats. They have a yearly customer boat show and party that is a lot of fun. Band, great food, beer and wine and the ability to climb into all of the boats on display are all part of the program. Good mid winter event to get you thinking about summer boating. Great marina and great staff. Always very helpful and keep my boat in tip tip shape.
I actually went to Mike's on the water restaurant which is behind colony marine, the food and service was perfect, it always is, because Mike's on the water restaurant was closing soon for the winter I had to go back before they closed up for the season, they were giving such good deals, a big burger and fries and a drink for $8, you can see what a beautiful place it is, and to be able to sit on the huge dock and eat your good on the water
Can’t say enough about this place staff always on point great place to work with very profesional and accommodating definitely recommend this place for all your marine needs 🛥 🚤😎👍
I’ve been really strongly kicking around the idea of getting a boat for a few years. I haven’t had a boat in a long time and finally decided that the time was now so I checked the Colony website yesterday and it listed having nineteen Boston Whalers in stock, including a few of the EXACT model I have been in the market for. I drove over to the St. Clair Shores location, went into the showroom and all they had was a couple reconditioned vintage boats and NOT EVEN ONE new boat. The salesperson that spoke to me asked what I was looking for and I told him. He laughingly said that ALL boats were sold out months in advance and that they might have a couple coming in toward the end of Summer, maybe? Looking just now, the website still shows the same models in stock. Are they at a different location? If so, the salesperson never mentioned it. If not, then I drove over with a pocket full of financing and dreams of being on the water by the weekend only to have the salesperson laugh at those thoughts as if it were a big joke. A new boat is a “want” and not a need, and I specifically wanted the Boston Whaler brand. The problem is this is the only dealer near me so suddenly I’m not sure I want it anymore.

Buying a boat from Colony Marine - St. Clair Shores in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask Colony Marine - St. Clair Shores which models suit the waterways near Saint Clair Shores, Michigan.
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.
Check engine hours
Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at Colony Marine - St. Clair Shores.
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like Colony Marine - St. Clair Shores will accommodate this request.
Verify title and registration
Ask for the current title and confirm the hull identification number (HIN) matches. Check for any liens with your state boating agency. Colony Marine - St. Clair Shores should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
