Steven and his team do a great job. They are always kind and glad to see you. They can answer any question whether you are a beginning boater or seasoned one. They have been my go to for service and any questions that I had about the boat that I bought from them two years ago. It truly is a great place where they treat you like family. I highly recommend this place to patronize for your next boat or service needs.
Purchased my first (used) pontoon in Sioux Falls after getting skunked in Okoboji. Steven was great and helped out with some small repairs and temporary storage. What really stood out to me was my pick-up experience. Steven had the boat cleaned and ready to go with a full tank of gas and threw in four new dock ropes. He put the registration and plates on himself. I didn't have a flat-5 plug, so he grabbed one to get me on my way. Couldn't be more happy with Steven and the team there.
Took my boat in Monday morning to get my outboard water pump replaced and they called before noon on Tuesday saying it was done. Incredible turn time and great price on the job. These guys just gained all my future business that's for sure!
New in Sioux Falls. I took my boat there the first time and the work was done much quicker and cheaper than i expected, it was a full tune up. The second time i went there they did not disappoint me, very quick turn around time and very reasonable price, under $100 for a bilge pump change. Both times I took my boat there were in the middle of the busy season, once in spring and once in summer.
New boat owners to the world. Went in on a Thursday evening to Parks Marina in Sioux Falls and was introduced to Steven. Let me just say if you are even considering a boat this guy deserves a phone call. Extremely knowledgeable about the whole lineup of boats the had to offer. Helped my wife and I settle into a boat that was right for what we wanted to to. What’s next is why I’m writing this review. A week before the 4th of July he gets us in for service, answers all of our calls and text messages, and makes you feel like your a member of his team. Never did I think we’d own a boat, but now after the past few weeks I don’t know how we could ever go back. Hats off to Steven and the Sioux Falls Parks Marina location.

Match the boat to your waters

Inspect the hull carefully
