I've had nothing but frustration, in dealing with Marinas here in Sarasota/Englewood, up until I found Nautical Ventures. These guys are very knowledgeable and professional.The GM Kendall (hope I got the name right) has built an amazing team of enthusiastic young men, that really work really well together.My boat/baby will always be serviced with Nautical Ventures, because She deserves nothing but the best 👌 👍.

Awesome Dealership! I was introduced to Nautical Ventures Sarasota, by the Sailfish Boats National Sales Manager. I wanted to place an order to have my new boat built, but my local dealer, no longer carried the Sailfish line. Tyler and his team, helped me get the boat built and delivered, during COVID, in record time. The ladies in the NV finance department, got me approved and on my way fast. Follow up service was easy with Tyler handling everything, very friendly and knowledgeable mechanics. Great experience!

It apparent Josh puts customer service first. He quickly resolved our issue at another location, even though we were willing to make a 3 hour trip to Sarasota to his location. Most other dealers would try to get you in their door for a potential sale. Can't thank Josh enough for his professionalism and rapid solution.

First-time boat owner. Nautical Ventures Sarasota, specifically Jack H., made the whole buying experience a smooth and pleasant one! Definitely recommend their service and will be back in the future.

Worst company to deal with. SPOKE TO ROGER, CHANCE, TYLER. Purchased the boat on consignment with them from Fort Lauderdale location. Boat was surveyed, the sales people both from Sarasota and Fort Lauderdale location assured that all work was completed. Boat delivered without items listed that were included, the items that were supposed to be fixed were not fixed. Took them 20 weeks to pick the boat up to supposedly fix the outstanding items. Boat was picked up late July, as of 10/13/2022 nothing was fixed, boat was delivered back dirty with horrible black footprints on floors including bathroom inside, we got $1900 bill for the work performed. Windlass anchor that was supposed to be fixed NOT FIXED and according to them will not be fixed till end of DECEMBER. Mercury actuator will not be fixed because supposedly on back order, which is A LIE it is available. HORRIBLE COMPANY

recently bought a 26' shearwater from these guys, with incredible success. told me it would take 12-13 weeks for a new build and it was actually a week early.. boat is amazing and communication in process was spot on.. Tyler and crew deserve a chance if considering a boat purchase

I was looking for a pedal kayak on line and came across Nautical Ventures webiste that showed a big collection of kayaks and paddle sports equipment in a store showroom. Finding the local office in Sarasota I went over to check out the products in person. Much to my surprise the Sarasota office is relatively new and, while they have a large collection of good looking boats on site, they were just coming up to speed on getting some paddle inventory in. I met Hunter Gore and Tyler Atherton and they explained how the office was still in the process of getting fully established. Nevertheless they immediately helped by coordinating with their other store to order my Old Town Topwater 120 PDL and had it delivered and set up for me to pick up in 5 days. The guys were professional and knowledgeable, the paperwork was simple and I now have a nice full body workout machine (paddle and pedal) to use. Very helpful in this time of self isolating for the virus. Great experience overall.

Went to look at a boat there. Was working with a salesperson from Holiday white was great and told me to look at this particular boat in their Sarasota location. Within minutes I felt like I was talking with the flim flam man.....it was so obvious he was fos! Told him I would get back to him and he said make sure you ask for me because he was the owner. So I called the salesman I was working with in Holiday and told him I looked at the boat and met the owner. He said I couldn't have because he was sitting next to the owner.....hmmmmMaybe he was a silent owner....lol

Don, the salesman, was excellen; he worked with me all the way, he listened to my concerns and understood my needs as a first time boat owner and guided me to the perfect boat. He continues supporting me and is willingly offering training for both my wife and I. I couldn’t be more pleased with his help throughout the whole process.

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Nautical Ventures on some warranty work that I needed to have addressed. They did excellent work, very professional and were a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to working with them in the future.

This place is owned by the same people that own the one in holiday. The one in holiday is a group of liars and thieves. Use caution and be real skeptical of anything told to you. I bought a boat at store in holiday I was told they would fix all the blemishes and repair the broken items this was never done. In the beginning I dropped it off and was told give us time. 7 weeks later it was dropped off with nothing done. Since then I have received one call a year later and told them what was still broke ( I paid out of pocket even tho I have a " warranty" ). And have never heard from them again.

I highly recommend Nautical Ventures to anyone shopping for a boat in Tampa or Sarasota. They have a knowledgeable staff and a great selection of boats from brands like Tidewater and Sailfish.

Got a great deal on a 2021 Tidewater CB 2500!!! Gorgeous boat with everything I need for a great price, can't beat it!!! Was expecting some price gouging because of the inventory shortage but was pleasantly surprised!!!

Nautical Ventures is a great place to go when looking for a boat. I dealt with Hunter and he was a very polite and knowledgeable guy, he made me feel sure and comfortable about all that I was looking for. Thank you!

Only place in Southwest Florida to buy a new boat, hands down! Nobody’s follow up matches Tyler’s. Looking forward to my next boat.

Be cautious when dealing with this company store. Do not believe what they tell you unless they write it down. I wouldn’t recommend giving them your business.
