Marineland Boating Center does not perform engine work. Do not waste your time taking your boat here for anything more than simple maintenance. Think of Marineland as an oil change/tire repair shop. My Mercruiser began making a strange noise. Made an appointment to tow the boat in to have them check it out. They changed spark plugs thinking it may be spark knock. Unfortunately, faulty plugs were not the issue. At that point they informed that they do not employ a mechanic capable of diagnosing engine issues. All they could offer me was to install a new motor. ($11,000). I ended up taking it to a real mechanic who discovered a broken rocker hold down ($1,200). Not sure how they handle warranty and non-warranty repairs for those actually purchasing a boat from them? Mercury may want to reconsider how they recognize a dealer as a certified Mercury dealer.

We live out of town. Found our boat and and was directed to Jerri for financing. From that point forward we contacted Jerri for help and trust me we had a lot of questions. Jerri either answered the question or made certain a message was sent to the correct person to get the correct answer. She was able to deal with lenders and we received a great financing deal. The sales department were helpful as well. When I need to get answers in the future I am contacting Jerri to help. Buy your boat from Marineland Waco.

Went searching for a boat and wasn’t immediately set on a brand. I was desirous to purchase locally and decided on getting the boat I purchased from Marineland. Since my purchase I have made additional purchases through the parts center and have been pleasantly surprised by the efforts and attention given to me by Krystal at the parts dept. She always responds to my emails or phone calls and has been great to work with. I have also been very happy with the level of service provided by the service dept. They have done exactly everything that I have asked. I can’t recommend this local business more.I’d also like to add that Gabriel in the service dept has been awesome at getting my stuff done and also in staying in communication while my boat has been worked on. Very trusting service dept.

Great place to do business with. Alan is very knowledgeable about the products and has great customer service. He made the process very easy and enjoyable to purchase a boat with accessories. Jerri also has great customer service . She is very detailed in every aspect needed to complete the paper work of the purchase . The service department led by TJ also does outstanding work. They made every accessory look factory and very professional. 5 stars all the way around and I would recommend anybody to do business with Waco Marineland .

My husband and I purchased a boat and Mindy Lawson was awesome to work with. She delivered great customer service and was very knowledgeable about every boat we looked at. If you are looking to purchase reach out to Mindy. You will not be disappointed.

I searched for months for the right bay boat and finally found it at Marineland Boating Center. All of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable! Allan made the process of purchasing a boat very smooth and I never felt pressured like I had experienced at other dealerships. I would recommend anyone looking for a boat to try them out.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience with Allan has made so happy to write this review. I am an out of town buyer. My interactions with Allan on the phone instantly gave me the confidence to proceed with his guidance and recommendations. He worked with me to find what I needed. Let me just say that my buy is a small purchase. It was a purchase for a motor. When I showed up he had a buyer for a purchase about 20x the price of my buy. He made me feel like I was his most important customer. Dare I say I even felt more important because of his customer care. Anyone can see right off the bat that he is in the right position and that he actually loves his job. I appreciate his extensive knowledge and joy for what he does. I’d been in a multistate search for my particular motor. He kept me constantly informed during my purchase as the motor needed to be primed prior to delivery. He didn’t waste my time. He made it easy to travel several hours for my purchase, and it was well worth it. Allan is one of the original salt-of-the-earth great dudes. Thank Allan!

Allan and his team were amazing to work with! From trade-in to financing (Shout out to Jerri!) to rigging the boat in the exact way we wanted! It was such a smooth and quick transaction.

We drove 2 1/2 hours from Tyler to Waco to re-powered our boat with a Yamaha outboard because none of the local dealers had what we need. Mindy and Jerri were great to work with.

Review №33

Been waiting for over 2 months to get approved to buy a boat. Allen, the guy who has been leading us on has made up excuses after excuses. “It’ll be here next week” “it’s the company not me”. He wasn’t very friendly to begin with, spoke to us rudely when we were just excited about getting a new boat saying “ you need to chill out. I don’t know when it’ll be here. Calm down”. Said over a month ago, it’ll be a week until they get the boat in, he doesn’t call when he says. This was all a huge waste of time and a waste of my credit. Do not buy from this place.

Mindy at Marineland Boating Center is the greatest. Also, the staff is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I had been looking for a boat for a while. They had the perfect Yamaha for me and my family. I live 3 hours away from Marineland and could not just drive up for a visit. With the help of Mindy and Jerry, I was able to complete 90% of the purchase over the phone or via e-mail. Everything went very smooth on pickup day. All of the paperwork was ready to be signed and boat ready to be hitched. Received a walk through of the boat and was on my way. Very quick and easy process. I would highly recommend Marineland for any and all boating needs. They really know how to make the process enjoyable.

One of the best experiences for buying a boat. Mindy is awesome and very responsive to all questions or concerns. The boat was ordered from the factory and arrived in Waco around the estimated time. They readied the boat with the accessories I ordered from them and even had it delivered to my home for very very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend them for your boat needs. I will be coming back if I decide on another boat or watercraft.

We worked with Allan and Jerri at Marineland of Waco for the purchase of our 2020 Yamaha 195S Jetboat. Could not have asked for a more pleasant experience. Both were very courteous and responsive to questions. We did find some minor damage to a couple of the rear Seadek mats on delivery that Allan had already noted and photographed. Other than that a perfect experience and they come highly recommended!

I needed to repower my older skiff and was having a hard time finding a 20 hp motor any where in Texas .Saw a post by Allen on FB saying he had small motors so I gave him a call. The only salesperson who bothered to call me back in my 3 month search to score a new motor. Made the deal over the phone and drove over to 2 hrs to pick up the motor.Very professional folks at this dealership.Outstanding experience all the way around, Although was just purchasing a small motor I was treated like I was buying a yacht.Would recommend Allen and crew to anyone.Thank you for a great experience.

Review №87

Unfortunately my experience was not quite as enjoyable as some folks on here. I called and spoke to Allan (who was great and lived up to the reviews). He was helpful and friendly enough that I drove almost 2 hours to get there. I found the boat I wanted, and then was told all the reasons I would want to buy a more expensive boat due to financing availability (before they even ran my credit). I decided that I would just outright pay for the boat I wanted and then the lady snickers and says either way you wont be taking it today and there will be a 3% fee for using debit. It is crazy, all the businesses right now that are trying to stir you away from using cash and this one penalizes for using debit. Talked to Steve and he was very rude from the time he walked out and not even willing to discuss options. Is what it is, lesson learned. I will definitely not be back. Overall I was very disappointed.
