“Recently purchased a 265 Ultra and want to thank Connor and the Ultimate team for a wonderful experience.”
Recently purchased a 265 Ultra and want to thank Connor and the Ultimate team for a wonderful experience. Initially met Connor at the Orlando boat show and he professionally assisted us throughout the boat selection, sea trial, purchase and delivery process. Included delivery to our home 3 hours away. Highly recommend!
“How to start? Well, first of all.”
How to start? Well, first of all. I’d like to thanks Ultimate Marine of Tampa and in special Armani Salinas, our seller. For treating us like family and getting us a great price on our Dream Boat and a very smooth process. I can’t recommend enough this dealership. And in particular Armani. Thanks for everything!

“What an excellent experience with Ultimate Marine.”
What an excellent experience with Ultimate Marine. From the start of just being interested to signing the buyers order, Kevin was very helpful and not pushy. Class A service throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend to friends and family! My family and I love our boat and will be enjoying for years to come.
“We are the proud new boat owners of a 2026 Carolina Skiff 17 LS!”
We are the proud new boat owners of a 2026 Carolina Skiff 17 LS! Our experience with the Ultimate Marine staff was impeccable and achieveing that was no small task. Salespeople have to walk a tight rope being careful not to tip over into the typical "greediness" in order to maximize their commission but we saw that Kevin McKernan has mastered that balance well. Did we feel like we won? No! Did we feel like we were treated fairly and with respect ? Yes! Did he answer any questions we had even when we were looking elsewhere? Yes! He did the very best thing in finding out what we wanted to do with a boat from the beginning and used that to keep us on track with our goal. We were impressed that he did not negatively review any other makes and models and only referenced them in relation to our desires so that we could come to our own conclusion. He's a proud husband and father and we believe he is an example of an outstanding human being. We recommend Ultimate Marine for any of you looking to buy the boat that is within your budget that satisfies all (or the majority) of the reasons you desire it. Happy Boating!

“My brother-in-law and I had been planning a boat purchase for a few years.”
My brother-in-law and I had been planning a boat purchase for a few years. As we got closer to a decision, the Orlando Boat Show was coming up in September of 2025. I reached out to Ultimate via Instagram for some passes. Connor Krantz responded very quickly and we had an appointment scheduled within a few days. We knew a lot of what we wanted, but needed to see some boats in person to really get a good feel for how they would fit our needs. We looked at the Sea Hunt Gamefish and Ultra models and ultimately selected the Ultra due to its preferred setup for family runs to the sandbars and out in the gulf, although we will do some fishing as well. Connor confirmed with Sea Hunt some of the new design specs that the 2027 model would have over the 2026. We preferred those specs and decided to wait and build exactly what we wanted in the latest model. Connor never pushed us into something we didn't like. He was patient with us and kept us up to date during the entire process. In late winter 2026, we submitted the build to Sea Hunt. As early summer approached, the build was completed and delivery scheduled. The boat turned out better than expected. Connor handled the entire transaction professionally and has continued to follow up post delivery to ensure everything meets our expectations. I highly recommend Connor Krantz at Ultimate Marine when searching for your next boat.
“I had an amazing experience buying my boat with Chiqui!”
I had an amazing experience buying my boat with Chiqui! From start to finish, she made the entire process easy, stress free, and enjoyable. She truly goes above and beyond for her customers, and you can tell she genuinely cares. Chiqui treats you like family, not just another sale. Her honesty, kindness, and dedication are unmatched. If you’re looking to buy a boat, I highly recommend Chiqui. Thank you for everything you’ve earned a customer and a friend for life!
