    Bunch of legends!!! Specially Adam from the service department. I had an issue with my outboard and was abou to fly to perth where i work called about 10 different places, and no one would even wanted to talk saying they're fully booked for weeks and won't be able to help.
    Called Adam and explained how stuck I was he said, "Drop it in ASAP and will fit you in and sort it out before your departure!! Drop the boat next morning at 8.30 am and done by 12.
    If you are reading this review, don't hesitate to deal with guys. Just ask for Adam, and he is the man to sort you out for sure 🙂

    I have bought 3 Stabi craft boats through these guys over the years & the customer service is always on point. Id highly recommend These guy's for anything boating. Thanks again for yet another wonderful experience 👏

    I have mixed feelings about this place. I have had amazing service from the first salesman who I purchased my boat from (he is still there) but the delivery of my boat was from a different person and a lot of information was not passed on to me during delivery which affected my experience - so your experience can be very much affected by who you talk to. Also I have ordered a number of parts from their parts shop and 2 out of 4 times they provided me the incorrect part which meant a return trip, though the parts guy was apologetic.

    Great service and knowledge about all boat and boating needs. Stacer boats have been one of my personal favourite brands, tried and tested paired with the new four stroke Yamaha's, you got yourself a true blue Aussie boat, that won't let you down.. Mark and Damien are the blokes to talk to.
  • Avatar Will ★★★★★ a year ago
    cant thank Mark enough for his level of service and patience.
    would recommend speaking to these guys about your next boat!
    extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I could not have made my situation work without marks flexibility in my needs for sizing and configuration in the trailer, boat package.
    legends!

    We recently purchased a Jeanneau 695 from Northside Marine and couldn't be happier with the service and communication we received during the process.
    David Choveaux was professional and thorough during the sales and fit out process as well as keeping us informed of any changes or covid delays that were taking place along the way.
    Northside took care of all our after market options and their workmanship is excellent.
    I highly recommend using Northside Marine and talking to David Choveaux next time you want to buy a boat.

    Sam Lewis made the overall process of purchasing a new boat very positive. Everything was explained clearly and any questions i had were always answered promptly (even on his days off). Not your typical pushy salesman, which i liked. Great asset to the Northside Marine team.
