⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently purchased a boat from Skipperbuds, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! Mike, my salesman, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and he guided me to the perfect boat for me. His expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole buying experience a breeze.I also want to give a special shoutout to Eric, the service manager. I needed some last minute installation needs and he made sure it was done right away! He's reliable, efficient, and goes above and beyond to ensure my boat is in top-notch condition.I highly recommend Skipperbuds to anyone in search of a boat. The team, including Mike and Erick, truly cares about their customers and provides outstanding service. Thank you, Skipperbuds, for making my boat buying experience exceptional

What can I say, there a great experience to work with. Mike our salesman was very knowledgeable about the boat we purchased. Alex was fantastic. Got us a great rate, and wasa blast to talk with. Melissa another ace. Got very reasonable boat insurance. I would buy from them again.!

Called multiple time to order a cover for our boat that had to be ordered through a dealer. Never received a call back, finally get a hold of someone get a price and told them to order it was told someone will call me back. Never happened I called back was told a different price, ok order it! My credit card info was taken and I was expecting to see a charge to my account. A few days later still no charge so I call again to check and all I got was excuses about being the only one there and being really busy and he would get to it. Oh also another price change. Another few days go by and nothing on the credit card or a phone call so I called again to see what is going on. Was told they where going to stay late and get everything ordered. I call the next day to see if the order was placed and was sent to voicemail and I left a message to call me back I want to cancel my order because if I can’t trust you to place my order like the first 3 time how can I trust you to call me when it’s in. Two days late I get a call telling me that it is in and yet the price has change again. Stay far away from any Skipper Buds I am yet to hear of anyone who has had good service from these people!

Told them exactly what we wanted checked on the boat. My boyfriend, who is a mechanic, was quoted around an hour worth of labor time for diagnostic. Additional tests were done without prior authorization or discussion, adding to the labor time. What was expected to be around $165 total cost ended up being $700+ with NO REPAIRS. Cover was also not put back on and boat, that had just been cleaned prior to drop off, was left dirty. Very poor communication and will never return.UPDATE: after sending a complaint email we did end up getting contacted the following day and refunded for the services that were not approved. appreciate skipperbuds for making things right.

I haven't personally been there but after hearing what my friend went through I will never take anything there. my friend had a boat and wanted a simple compression check done on his engine and asked about the labor for it they said 1 hour. when the boat was picked up they said they had to put the boat in the water and had problems with the bilge pump. I'm not much of a boat guy but it seems like the bilge pump shouldn't affect the compression of the engine. i wouldn't trust the service department seems like they like to just scam people out of money. they ended up charging 800 for a compression check and the other stuff which wasn't approved in any kind of estimate I think who ever is in charge of service there needs to be fired

Great customer service! Bought a broker boat from them. Salesman Chris was thorough and Shawn the technician answered all 50 of my questions about my new purchase. Everyone helped load it onto the trailer as well. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

I would stay as far away from this place as possible. Quoted $350 but charged $950 after taking a year and a half to do some simple work.Tracey (GM of this store and in Fenton) couldn't possibly manage a child - New ownership needs to seriously consider the direction and future of this store.
