“Sam and Ryan Short have looked after my boats for a long time. For those of us that love the water but have busy working lives it’s fabulous to have a team that gets things done first time, so that all you have to do is step aboard on the weekend. The boys have integrity in their DNA and their reliability is rare on the waterfront.”

“For me, I don’t have a lot of time so I want boating to be easy and fun. I don’t want it to be a second job. Short Marine was able to provide that and they do for a bunch of my mates as well. They’re obviously good at what they do.

It makes boating more pleasurable for me to have a boating concierge service running things for me and has always got my back. It takes the effort out of it for me so I can just jump on with the kids and enjoy it.”

“Sometimes you ask a question and people give you an answer that is straight out of a textbook. These people didn’t, they gave me an answer that I understood because I’m not the greatest boat person in the world. They care, it’s as simple as that. They understand what the person wants when buying or serving a boat, and they’ll do everything in their power to make sure that you’re satisfied. They’re just very courteous and good people to do business with”.

“The whole thing from go to woe has been a fantastic experience. From meeting Ryan first off, going through the negotiation of buying the boat, sitting down with Ryan, Cam and Tom about what we were going to put in it, to ordering it, and waiting for it to come. I’ve got short attention span, so it had to be simple and quick. Overall it has been a fantastic experience. The Grady I purchased has been one of the best things I’ve ever bought.”

“Really appreciate your incredible service level and communication, during I am sure, a very difficult time of year — bloody brilliant, thank you!! Best I’ve experienced on the water.”
