I recently purchased a second boat from Transition Water Sports, and I couldn't be happier with the experience once again. Despite being miles away, their team made the entire process from the order of my new Sea Hunt 275 Ultra to rigging it for fishing through the delivery effortless with a simple phone call. Nate and his team’s product knowledge, efficient paperwork handling by Abby, delivery by Dale and the entire team’s commitment to customer satisfaction reaffirm Transition Water Sports as my go-to for seamless boat and accessories purchases. Highly recommend for those seeking convenience, fair pricing, and fantastic customer service!

Nate and the crew at Transition Watersports went above and beyond taking care of us. The amount of effort and care that Nate put into ensuring our peace of mind was astounding and much appreciated. We have bought and sold boats privately and through dealers and this has by far been the best experience. We are so excited to make so many wonderful memories on our newly purchased boat. Thank you Nate and team!

I can say without any doubt that the Transition Watersports team was extraordinary and professional in every step of our journey to buy our first center console boat. They were patient and understanding about all of our questions and concerns, creating a constant and open line of communication, which is increasingly rare nowadays. The team is honest, well organized and I recommend to use them with confidence.

The group at Transition was fantastic. Nate and Abby made the process easy, were super quick to respond to any questions and Mike and the crew did amazing work on getting my new Sea Hunt rigged and ready. Spent over an hour on the boat with Mike and immediately felt like I had known him for years. They went step by step through the entire boat and features on the water.I flew in from North Carolina, tested the boat and they arranged door front delivery just several days later. Having purchased several boats in the past I can say this was an A+ experience. Very refreshing. The dealership is beautiful and shop is spotless.

I own three boats and have dealt with multiple dealerships and Transition Watersports has easily been the most knowledgeable and proactive dealership I have ever dealt with. Billy made sure I was well taken care of and was very thorough in resolving my issues with my Malibu 247. Very professional and courteous. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable shop.

We had a great experience purchasing a pre-owned Malibu from Transition Watersports. We really appreciated Billy’s expert knowledge of wake boats and the time he took to teach us, as first time boat owners, the ins and outs of operation. Billy’s assistance and expertise really made purchasing pre-owned from the shop a much superior option than from a private owner. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Service and Professionalism at Transition WatersportsTransition Watersports has set a high bar for what a boat purchasing experience should be. Their blend of professional expertise, exceptional service, and a welcoming, well-maintained environment has not only earned my wholehearted endorsement but also my trust for any future boating needs.My recent purchase of a Sea Hunt Gamefish 25 from Transition Watersports was an experience that truly stood out, marked by professionalism and personalized attention that exceeded my expectations at every turn. The journey started when I stumbled upon their listing while searching for authorized Sea Hunt dealers. John, my point of contact, was a beacon of reliability and knowledge, consistently available to field my questions, setting a starkly positive tone compared to my experiences elsewhere.Throughout the process, the customer service was impeccable. Kim and Abby were instrumental in guiding me through the maze of paperwork and approvals, their patience and resourcefulness shining through even when complications arose. It was evident that the staff weren't just going through the motions; they were genuinely invested in ensuring my satisfaction and peace of mind.The dealership's website was a goldmine of information, showcasing the Sea Hunt Gamefish 25 with detailed descriptions and photos, reflecting Transition Watersports' commitment to transparency and education. During the sales process, I felt a sense of respect for my pace and decisions, with no undue pressure and all my questions met with thoughtful, informative answers.The post-sale phase reinforced my positive impressions. The service team, along with John, remained engaged, addressing any follow-up questions and assisting with service considerations, demonstrating their commitment to ongoing support.Visiting the dealership was an experience in itself, resembling more a luxury resort or high-end auto showroom than a boat dealership. The modern, immaculate facilities, coupled with an array of appealing accessories, underscored their attention to detail and pride in their presentation.In recommending Transition Watersports, I do so with enthusiasm and confidence. The team's dedication to going above and beyond is palpable, making me not only a satisfied customer but also a keen advocate. The level of service, expertise, and genuine care I experienced is something I wish more businesses would emulate.

Where do I start…, I’m from Miami and searched every Sea Hunt Dealer from here to Jacksonville. Nobody took me seriously, and the ones that did couldn’t get me pricing fast enough. Then I found Transition and I spoke to Nate. He emailed me a spec sheet, I sent it right back and I got the best price by far I’d gotten in less than 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe it. Next thing I knew I was getting financing and the boat ordered in just a couple phone calls. 2 months later and our boat arrived. Can’t thank Nate and his guys enough, they came in over Thanksgiving weekend (and Nate was sick 😂) just to deliver and lake test the boat with me. Very knowledgeable and took the time to go over everything with me. I would recommend Transition Watersports everytime. Thanks again and will talk to you soon!

Great experience with Transition Watersports. From buying our boat to the service department to the adding of accessories, they went above and beyond. A great group of guys and a very involved owner. I would highly recommend them.

Great experience at Transition Watersports. From Nate to Mike, Abby and all the crew first class service. We will definitely recommend Transition to everyone we talk boats with. We purchased a preowned 2017 Gamefish 27 that was in great shape, but they went above and beyond to make this thing as close to new as you can get. Top notch. Thanks to you all.

The folks at Transition are nothing less than incredible. Everything from pre-buying looking to paperwork signing to delivery of the finished project was truly great. Friendly, honest, hard working, and trustworthy. If you’re looking for a place to buy a boat I don’t think you could do better.

Where to start a review of Excellence in Business practices. Transition Watersports is a perfect example of everything a buying experience should be.The boat listing had pictures from all angles to show the boat, engine and all offered features. The description was clear concise and honest. I have looked at 1000's of listings in the last couple of years. Nothing compared.I called and was pleasantly assured that the boat was in stock and available. How refreshing. I scheduled a visit and was warmly greeted on arrival by the Owner of the business Nate Stockman. Then off to the boatyard to see my new water ride. Asmaller used boat among a yard full of gorgeous new boats. My boat was pristine! The staff were warm and friendly. We went over the whole boat and they gave me some helpful saltwater tips. I asked about transporting to my location, easy... they could do it. I asked for recommendations for a mechanic in my area, easy ... they have mechanics and can pickup and drop off. I wanted a PowerPole added before delivery, easy...they put one on.I live several hours away but thanks to the great communication by Kim and Abby the purchase transaction was accomplished online.What a great group of people at Transition Watersports; Nate, Abby, John, Kim, Dale and crew. Yes Virginia, Great Businesses still exist.

Throwing a BIG shoutout to Billy and TW. Bought a used Malibu with some expected work needed and he was extremely knowledgable of the boat's intricate system. Billy was able to identify the root cause of the problem with precision and ultimately saved me some significant $$$. Customer service and professionalism was nothing short of exemplary. He took the time to explain the issue and is a true master of his trade. Trusting Billy and Transition Watersports with your boat service and repairs gives you a peace of mind to know your are ready to take on your next boating adventure. Thanks Again!!!

We were very happy with our experience with Transition Watersports. They came highly recommended by a prior client of theirs. We knew the 1st day we met Nate that we had found the right place and they did an amazing job setting up our boat.

Nate, Billy and the entire crew at Transition Watersports are top class. They made the process of buying our Malibu 24MXZ super easy and painless. Would never even consider purchasing from another dealership, even if it saved me a couple bucks. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out!

Awesome! I wish these people sold cars too! From the initial phone call to the delivery, it was hands down a most enjoyable experience. I felt like I was part of the family. Not only are the owners (Nate & Abigail) great but so are their employees. Naturally I had questions after the sale and emails were answered immediately. A week after my purchase I still have a smile on my face!

Had a great experience buying a 2023 Sea Hunt 234 Ultra from Transition Watersports: Good communication with fast response, good pricing including numerous options on the boat.Clean and detailed for delivery.All good, no negatives.I can highly recommend Nate and Transition Watersports for any boat purchases and I will return for service and more boats in the future.

We just had a great experience at this place last week. Everyone we spoke with was kind, professional and helpful. We bought a used boat and couldn't be happier so far. The purchase was stress free and as agreed. We traveled a little bit to find the boat we wanted and the team at Transition Watersports helped us through the whole process. Great atmosphere, plenty of time water testing the new boat and a smooth transaction all around. When we are in the market again, they will be our first stop. Lifetime customers are made by providing the type of experience we had with this company. Thanks again Transition Watersports.

My recent Sea Hunt purchase from Nate and all his staff at Transitions Watersports was exceptionally professional and courteous from the manufacture purchase agreement to the delivery including the 20-hour service knocking out a small punch list accomplished by his service team in a very timely matter.I've been boating most all of my life owning over a dozen boats up to 42' and of dealerships I've done business with Transition Watersports is definitely one of the best or the best dealerships.

We can not be more thankful for transition watersports!We purchased our new 2022 gamefish from them almost a year ago. From the 1st time we stepped into the dealership it was the best boat buying experience we have ever encountered.Fast forward to September 28th when hurricane Ian hit our area. After an almost 10 hour of a powerful storm, we were devastated in the condition of the boat after the storm.After calling our insurance company, we reached out to Nate and his team again to see if they could help us repair the boat. Nate sent down his guy to pick up our boat and take it to his shop for an assessment. Our biggest fear was the boat would not look like it did when it came back because of all the fiberglass damage, Nate worked diligently with our insurance company and made sure the boat was 100% perfect when it was brought back to us this morning. Looking at the boat you would never know that it had been through the hurricane.We cannot be more grateful and pleased with the work that transition watersports performed and the excellent service and communication they provided to us during this experience.If anybody is looking for a great boat dealership with top service we recommend transition watersports.Thank you transition watersports and Nate for all your help!

Hands down the best dealership we have walked into (and we have been to many)! Nate, Abby and the entire team were friendly and welcoming and made the entire purchase smooth and easy. I’ve been on the hunt for a new boat for months, and the 2hr drive to Transition Watersports was 100% worth the trip. This team has everything perfected from the first sale through making boat service easy for the client. If you are in Manatee or Sarasota looking for new Sea Hunt go here and save yourself time and money - and make the process seamless! Family owned business that I am proud to support!

The whole crew at Transition Watersports are top notch. They will seriously make any experience special. I don’t think there’s anything they won’t do for your marine needs or wants. Both boat purchases I have made from them we’re absolutely the best purchase experiences of my life. They are a family owned and run business and the people they hire are not far from that. Everyone is willing to go the extra mile and answer any and all questions pertaining to everything from brokerage, purchase agreements, warranty work just a few among so many other services that they offer. Please call the Transition Watersports team for all your boating needs, you will not be disappointed and complete satisfaction will be guaranteed.

Nate and the Transition Watersports team was great. I purchased a 2020 Malibu TXI from Chicago and they made the entire remote purchase process very simple. I picked up my boat on a Sunday when they were closed, but Nate and team met me and my family and walked us through everything on the boat. This was a great experience and I highly recommend Transition Watersports.

We purchased our 2021 AXIS T22 on-line in early June and we found the entire buying experience to be extremely straight forward and enjoyable. We drove from South Carolina to pick it up and it was worth every mile! (Delivery options are available if needed.) Jake and his team were friendly, helpful and professional. Highly recommend buying from this dealership.
