Just bought my third Ellis Marine boat today. I cannot say enough about the excellent experience and prices with this dealership. Both Bobby and Neil are great to work with. They have saved me thousands over the years. Best dealership I’ve ever dealt with.
Found a used boat advertised by Ellis Marine in Brunswick Ga... Neil and Angela got back to me right away with answers to my questions.. The boat was exactly as described over the phone and no games... What a great experience.. The service tech Shane had direct answers and knew his stuff.. Neil & Angela were fantastic and handled all the paperwork making for a very simple transaction.. An hour long drive for me and worth every second.. They get the highest recommendation possible.
Great experience at Ellis marine! Staff is awesome!! Very knowledgeable and anxious to help the customer. Difficult to find “home town service” these days but Ellis Marine has it!!
We love our new boat! Everyone was so nice and professional. Thank you for having the boat we wanted!

I purchased my Key West 188 from Ellis Marine a little over a year ago. Dealers in N. Fla didn't seem to be real interested but Neil Sutton was serious about selling me a boat. I have taken my boat back to Ellis Marine for service and received top notch work. They went above and beyond to take care of me. If you are in the market for a Key West boat, do yourself a huge favor and call Ellis Marine. You won't regret it!
Great knowledge and customer service!

We looked all over for the boat of our dreams with very few call backs. Our search stopped at Ellis Marine. Neil answered on the first call and helped us through our boat buying experience. It was worth the 3 hour drive for us to deal with Ellis. Highly recommend!

Our founder, Bobby Ellis, has been in the marine industry since 1968. Beginning as a teenager working as a technician for a local dealer, then as a Game Warden/Outboard Technician for the Georgia Game & Fish Commission Law Enforcement Section in the mid 1970's, Bobby was then, and remains now, a recognized industry figure for having a talent for making marine engines perform as designed.
Bobby built this business starting from scratch...with a just service truck, a set of tools, and a dream. With hard work and determination, he turned Ellis Marine into a multi-line dealership. His business focuses? Well, then...and now...is to bring delight to the customer with professional staff and quality products and service. Bobby became a Mercury Marine Certified Technician in 1974 and received Master Mechanic status in 1979. Even as the owner, he still lends a hand in the diagnosis and repair of hard to find issues.
Today, Ellis Marine's focus is offering proven performers like Key West, Mako, Nitro, Robalo, Tracker, Tahoe, and Sun Tracker, powered by Yamaha and Mercury Outboards. We then provide superior service after the sale. Our staff, like many of our customers, have been with us for decades.
