What to expect

Start your boating journey with Short Marine

Whether you’re a new boat buyer and ready to replace your old boat, we can help you simplify your boating journey from every step of the way.

STEP 1: Discovery Call

DISCOVERY CALL

DISCOVERY CALL

To start, we go through a deep dive exploration session to find out what your intended use is for the boat – who you’re going to be using it with, where you plan on using it and what you plan on doing with it. After we’ve discovered what you’re looking for in a boat, we’ll prepare a range of suitable boats on the water, ready for you to view, test drive and experience.

STEP 2: TEST DRIVE

TEST DRIVE

You must feel comfortable and safe in your boat, which is why we believe the test drive is the most important (and often most overlooked) steps in a buyers boating journey. Once we’ve discovered what kind of boat would best suit you and your boating needs, it’s all about testing the boat on the water and experiencing the ride and handling. We will arrange a selection of boats that match your criteria and arrange a time that suits you to test each boat until you find the perfect fit.

After test-driving the boats and gathering a deeper understanding for what is going to suit you best, we’ll present the different boats/models with tailored options for you to consider. Within the email, we will give an explanation as to how/why these specific models meet your needs and outlay the next steps for you to start your boating journey. From there you’ll place the order for your next boat.

STEP 4: THE DELIVERY PROCESS

THE DELIVERY PROCESS

Once your boat has been ordered, we begin the delivery process – one that is curated specifically to you and your new boat purchase. You’ll be introduced to our Delivery Manager, who will keep you up to date every step of the way and manage the delivery and handover of your new boat. Once all of the QC (quality checks) and PD (pre-delivery) procedures have been carried out and your boat is ready for handover, we’ll coordinate a date that suits you for your full handover and training.

STEP 5: UNLIMITED DRIVER TRAINING

Grady-White Ultimate Driver Training

UNLIMITED DRIVER TRAINING

The most common reason we hear why people end up having a negative boating experience is due to a lack of confidence in handling and owning their boat. This is why we introduced our unique personalised 1-on-1 driver training and coaching, unlimited lessons available for you and your family. Regardless of your experience, we offer this to all of our new boat owners as every boat is different and being 100% comfortable with your new boat is crucial.

STEP 6: GO BOATING

GO BOATING

Once your handover is finalised, you’re ready to go boating and start creating memories with your friends and family.  As part of the Short Marine difference, once the handover is completed the relationship doesn’t stop here, that’s where it starts. As part of the Short Marine family you can expect invitations to Short Marine events throughout the year, from Fishing days and training days with industry experts, Open Days to experience the latest model releases and VIP events and Boat Shows.  You’ll also be introduced to your own personal relationship manager who will build and manage your maintenance plan for all the service required for your boat so you don’t have to worry about what needs doing, when it needs doing and scheduling in. It’s our goal to make your boating experience easy and enjoyable and our service team allows you to do that.

In Their Words

Short Marine Customer Experiences

Meet Brad

“It is an amazingly simple and user-friendly boat. I’m a novice when it comes to a boat of this size, but this boat is very user-friendly. As they say, the best day of your life is buying a boat, and the second best is selling the boat but I can see myself owning this boat for a long, long time.” It’s fantastic, I could not fault it.” Grady-White Express 330 Boat Owner

Meet Steve

“I got out of the sports cruising vessels because they cost a lot more to run and after a long day out on the water, the last thing you want to do is spend 2 hours cleaning the vessel. Our Grady-White changed all of that with the flush-out decks and the way it has been put together, we don’t get a lot of water over the decks making it very simple to clean and maintain. It is healthy to be out on the water as a family, and our Grady-White allows us to do that, whether the kids are up the front and parents at the back, it keeps up all together”. Grady-White Canyon 336 Boat Owner.

Meet David

“I owned two boats, a fishing boat and bigger more luxurious boat and I figured I couldn’t be in two boats at once, so I decided to find a boat that could do both and Grady-White ticked all the boxes. It is very user friendly with everything being at your finger tips, its beautifully made, safe and easy to manoeuvre”. Grady-White Express 330 Boat Owner.

About Grady-White

To put it simply – length for length, there is no better riding, better performing, better engineered or better finished outboard powered boat in the world. So when you combine that with Grady-White’s uncompromising commitment to providing the highest level of customer service, you get the most satisfying boat ownership experience.

Don’t just take our word for it though, for the last 18 consecutive years Grady-White has ranked #1 in the Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Award in the fiberglass outboard boat division. A result of a third-party survey that surveyed a total of 158,335 new boat buyers in 2019 alone.

It all starts with the ride. While other boat manufacturers claim to have the best ride, no other has the confidence to have their boat compared with a Grady-White – and for good reason. It’s something you have to feel for yourself to really appreciate it. This is why at Short Marine we have every model on the water, available for you to test drive. And being just 5 minutes from some of Australia’s harshest offshore conditions, you can instantly get a feel for the Grady-White difference.

It’s not just what is below the waterline that separates Grady-White from its competitors though. For over 60 years, they have been continuously refining the functionality and design to build boats that are equally as practical as they are elegant.
