2021 IN THE REAR MIRROR

As many of you are aware of the marine industry ups and downs through 2021, this year has been unlike any before.

Buying a boat, customers have seen low inventory levels nation wide, price increases and much longer wait times for custom builds.

As a boat dealer, we have had to; say the least, try and put a boat together, from motor delays, supply shortages, all while trying to

stay on top of our industry and still give great customer relations. It has been a obstacle for all of us, and first I must thank each customer

that has had to overcome some type of obstacle this year with us, we continue to appreciate all our awesome Coastal family "our customers" and friends.

We continue to tackle each challenge before it arises and when it does, we continue to strive to find the best brands of boats to bring to the consumer.

Coastal Marine Sales as added the Hurricane brand sports deck/fun deck boat line early 2021 and plan to have a great success with this brand. We continue to carry Robalo 

which is #1 selling fiberglass boat 18' and up and KenCraft boats which we have had great reviews from our customers that bought KenCraft; they continue to feel the passion in 

the ride!

Boat shows this year will probably be very limited with inventory , many of us still do not have much inventory to show you folks! We are still up in the air to what we plan to do 

with the Biloxi  Boat Show in Feb. hopefully we will have a booth to see all you guys out there and talk about what is to come and show you why we continue to sell the 

best products.

If you are like me, I am ready for 2021 to end and welcome 2022 and take off to new adventures in the marine industry.

What I for see in 2022; I fore see that prices will continue to rise for supplies, which means boats are going to be more costly. I am seeing shortages ease up a bit but supplies will 

still not meet the demand. I am planning to see a large newly pre owned market and that means savings for many! I see consumers willing to have patience with building the 

boat with the brand they feel the most comfortable with and finding the dealership that will make the process as easy and simple as they can. Like any industry; the marine 

industry will adjust and conquer the pitfalls to overcome all obstacles. 

We are making some great changes with our service department with added trained staff, we continue to 

be your Yamaha Certified Center and we are working on mainstreaming our service tickets to have a better time for completion. More time on the water for you guys and

keeping our over head costs low to pass the savings on to our customers is always a win win!!

If you have never met us, stop by and say hi. we are always ready to talk BOATS! fishing, gulf coast FUN with you. 

Here is to 2022, have a great holiday season and we will HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!!
