So glad we bought from Captain Dave! When you buy a used anything you may have problems arise. First repair, part never came in. They put a used part in, in order to get our pontoon back to us. We enjoyed it about a year when another problem arose. They were booked until labor day, but worked us in since we bought from them. Wiring issue. All this to say they did right by us each time!

Contacted Captain Dave's to repower my pontoon boat. Kelsey was wonderful in getting my new engine deal set up and the Service Manager, Steve was great at drop off. Quick and easy process, even took time to share information on toon care and motor features!

Our family experience was Better than a 5 Star rating ********** Casey, Stephanie, Mark, & Chris & crew went above & beyond, making sure we were truly satisfied with our selection & fit our needs/expectations. On test ride/drive, Chris explaining the operations/features of the boat, answering our many questions. Double-checking to make sure all necessary safety requirments were installed/ added to our boat. We added additional features, (estimated 1hr install) it was completed before we finished lunch. Large selection of any & everything you NEED/ WANT to enjoy Life on The Water Chris delivered boat to the nearest launch ramp closest to our home, We asked about service and found out they come & get boat, service and bring back to us!! Leaving no need for a trailer. No high pressure sales, family owned business always putting customers 1st!! Even got to see a piece of history/tradition, a pontoon named Clemson 1st Lady decked out in Orange & Tiger Paws!! Casey explained the story and these Tiger Fans Loved It!! GO TIGERS!!!

Every Boat I have ever owned I purchased from David Strickland at Captain Dave's. He has always treated me fair and gave me great deals. He also stood behind everything he told me he would do. I just recently purchased a 2023 Bentley 223 Navigator making this purchased my 5th Boat I bought from Captain Dave's. If you want to know why I keep buying from here then just buy a Boat from Captain Dave's yourself and you will see why I keep going back. David, John and Brett are all top notch and they know everything there is to know about boating. Visit them today and tell them that Billy highly recommended them for sales and service.
Billy Floyd, Anderson, SCStore Location: Captain Daves -
Everything about Strickland's was awesome from the salespeople (Richard), the finance and paperwork (Elizabeth), to service (Brandon). We met the owner, David at the boat show, super nice guy. As first time boat owners, Brandon took us out on the water showing how to launch it and get it back onto the trailer, how to operate it, pull into the slip, etc. We cannot say enough good things about Strickland's. 100% recommend Strickland's every time!!

I live on the central coast of California. I needed an oil pan for my Honda motor. The boat supply companies in this area would not return my calls or said they would call back with information and never did. Talking to a friend in Atlanta, they suggested I call Strickland. I ordered the oil pan with them. Strickland staff did exactly what they said they would do and I got the part when promised. They were very friendly and helpful. I believe the staff I talked to was Eric and Randy. Definitely a 5 star rating.

I lived in Anderson, SC for a very short time, during which I needed basic seasonal maintenance on my Sea-Doo. This would have been a very easy job to over charge for. However, not only did Captain Dave give me a fair price, he and his team took excellent care of my watercraft. They are one of the reasons I will remember my time in Anderson so favorably. Thanks guys!

My husband and I just spent quite a LONG time with Richard McMahen, and all I can say is WOW! His patience, willingness to answer questions, and pander to my ineptitude at understanding "boat" talk was refreshing! Thank you for your time, Richard!!

I have not actually been here, but I called looking for help with my 1975 Airstream. Even though they didn't have the part, they spent several minutes on the phone with me talking through trouble shooting. The issue was tracked down and all is good to get me through the rest of my camping trip. That is great customer service!

My husband and I have been dealing with Stricklands for over 20 years and have had nothing but good experiences. Always helpful, truthful and ethical in all they do.
Pat Melton Puckridge -
I have bought five boats from Strickland.... always excellent price and service. Good people !!
Perry Rogers -
Casey and his family are first class. I have been boating and fishing for most of my life and have dealt with numerous dealerships. None match the personal touch of dealing with Strickland Marine. They are a family owned dealership who still remember the importance of relationships. All of my boating and fishing needs will be handled by Strickland Marine in the future. God Bless You!

What started off as a bad day heading to fish a tournament on Lake Hartwell, broke a wheel bearing, turned out to be a new boat purchase. And I have to say it was one of the best buying experiences we've ever had. From the sales, to rigging and the business end of the deal the total experience was awesome! Tommy Stacey is not only one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet , but he's also very knowledgeable with their products. And working with Elizabeth on the business side was just as easy. We drove by three other Ranger dealerships to work with the folks at Strickland. If you are in the market for a new boat, gives these folks a try, I promise you want be disappointed!
Lorne DeBord, Warrenville, SC -
Casey is a man of his word. He wants to sell boats and will work with you to make it happen. He is straight forward and honest. It was a great experience before and after the sale for me. I would recommend him for all your boating needs.

Bought a 2014 Ranger RT178 in January 2015. Great dealership and customer service. Upon picking up of the boat it turned out I needed an trailer plug extension. They did not hesitate to supply me with one at no charge. Buy a Ranger and get it at Srickland.
Les Parlier, Woodruff, SC -
Casey and Elizabeth great to deal with. Bought a 30K+ boat via web and had a perfect experience. Top professionals at this dealership and very easy to work with. Straight forward transaction with no games. Great deal and very knowledgeable and customer focused team. Look forward to my next purchase with them
John , Crown Point, IN -
My purchase was small, but I was never made to feel any different than if I was buying a $100,000 boat or something! Great people! Will recommend them to everyone I know! Thanks guys!
Jeremy , Easley, SC
Repowered my Bentley Pontoon, the sales team, service team and office staff were all awesome. Installation was completed in 3 days and I was back on the lake! Service manager and mechanic spent time with me orienting me to the new engine and break in. Titling was super easy, Loving my new engine!
