I’m thrilled with my new boat and highly recommend Kevin, who delivered 5 star service throughout the purchase and delivery process.
“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!
“Colton, kind and efficient.”
Colton, kind and efficient. would recommend to anyone
“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!
“Very happy with the business we did, the customer service was excellent, special to Armani.”
Very happy with the business we did, the customer service was excellent, special to Armani.
“Armani was great and so helpful with both sides of the deal from buying to selling and anything in between.”
Armani was great and so helpful with both sides of the deal from buying to selling and anything in between. He wasn’t just a salesman; he showed us how to operate our new boat, answered questions for us anytime we needed and when we were done with that chapter, he helped us sell our boat and handled all aspects of it. Couldn’t recommend ultimate marine or Armani more!
“Absolutely Amazing! Hawke took great care of me.”
Absolutely Amazing! Hawke took great care of me. These guys are five stars… My new boat is gorgeous, they launched me at the Gulfport Marina, and I got a custom bottom paint job beforehand. Everything was perfect. Five stars!
“What an excellent experience.”
What an excellent experience. I had the pleasure of working my deal with Chiqui at Ultimate Marine and I can’t say enough what a pleasant experience. From the moment we met, to the end process, she handled the entire process and assisted every step of the way in a professional manner. Highly recommend purchasing your next boat from Ultimate Marine and Chiqui!
“We had an amazing experience purchasing our new Sea Hunt from Ultimate Marine in Key Largo!”
We had an amazing experience purchasing our new Sea Hunt from Ultimate Marine in Key Largo! From the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel welcomed and taken care of. A huge thank you to Chiqui, our sales representative! She was absolutely incredible. She was so friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we found the right boat. She made us feel like family throughout the entire process, and we truly appreciated how easy and enjoyable she made the experience. Brian, Ryan, and Jason were also wonderful to work with. They were professional, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. It was clear that everyone works together as a team and truly cares about their customers. If you're looking to purchase a boat, we highly recommend Ultimate Marine. Thank you all for making the purchase of our Sea Hunt such a great experience. We can't wait to make memories on the water!
“I recently purchased a 2026 Sea Hunt BX22 from Ultimate Marine, and the entire experience was outstanding.”
I recently purchased a 2026 Sea Hunt BX22 from Ultimate Marine, and the entire experience was outstanding. Conner was great to work with from start to finish. He was extremely responsive throughout the process, always quick to answer questions and get me the information I needed. What really stood out was how much time he took to make sure I was comfortable with everything. He gave me a tour of the facility, walked me through Ultimate Marine’s process, and thoroughly explained the features of both the boat and trailer. As a new owner, that made a huge difference and made the delivery process smooth and stress-free. At no point did I feel rushed or pressured. Conner genuinely worked hard to make sure I got the boat I wanted and that I understood everything before leaving. Customer service like that is hard to find these days. If you’re looking for a boat and want someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about the customer experience, I highly recommend Conner and the team at Ultimate Marine. Thanks again for helping me get into my new 2026 Sea Hunt BX 22
“I had the pleasure of working with Conner during the purchase of my boat, and I can't recommend him highly…”
I had the pleasure of working with Conner during the purchase of my boat, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the very first conversation, he was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely focused on finding the right fit for me rather than just closing a sale. Conner knew the product inside and out and answered every question with clear, honest detail. He walked me through the features, the rigging options, and the practical considerations I hadn't even thought to ask about. When it came time to finalize everything, the process was smooth and well-organized, and he followed through on every commitment he made. What stood out most was his professionalism and integrity. He communicated promptly, set realistic expectations, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. That kind of trustworthiness is rare and exactly what you want in someone you're doing business with. Conner has the product expertise, the customer-first mindset, and the organizational skills that make him stand out. Any team would be lucky to have him, and I'd gladly do business with him again
“We worked with Colton to buy our Sea Hunt 245 Ultra SE.”
We worked with Colton to buy our Sea Hunt 245 Ultra SE. I have to say what a pleasure it was working with him! We had to wait about 2 months for our boat lift to be done. Colton let us order the new boat, stored it for us and he was so easy to work with. We did not have any issues whatsoever and he got us every deal there was available. I highly recommend this Sea Hunt dealership and ask for Colton. He knows his stuff and does not play games. Ellen & Eddie.
“Hands down the best experience we’ve ever had purchasing a new boat.”
Hands down the best experience we’ve ever had purchasing a new boat. Chiki, Ryan, and Brian took excellent care of us. They went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and we felt like family. Customer service and happiness is their top priority. They threw in a bunch of extras at no cost to us. They had the boat spotless and in the water ready to go on pick up day! We were very pleased and impressed with our experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Armani made the entire process smooth and stress-free, handling everything from start to finish with great communication and professionalism. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. I highly recommend Armani and Ultimate Marine to anyone looking for a great boat-buying experience!
“Incredible experience!!”
Incredible experience!! Walked into Ultimate Marine to look at Sea Hunt 25 BX Bay Boats and had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Joe Labon. The rest is history. Top notch operation all the way around. Special shout out to Conner Krantz for making the sea trial and boat acceptance a pleasure. Thank you Ultimate Marine.
“I recently purchased a sea hunt 219 ultra From ultimate marine, I couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
I recently purchased a sea hunt 219 ultra From ultimate marine, I couldn’t ask for a better experience. My salesman was Connor and he was exceptionally helpful throughout the whole process ,answered every question I could hit him with. If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it the exact same way
“Armani was a huge help to the family when we first purchased our Sea Hunt.”
Armani was a huge help to the family when we first purchased our Sea Hunt. He trained all of us on the boat and was greatly appreciated. We love our boat! He also reached out afterwards to see if we have any questions. He is the best and we thank him for all of his help.
“I just bought a Gamefish 27FS from Ultimate Marine in Tampa.”
I just bought a Gamefish 27FS from Ultimate Marine in Tampa. Coltin Herman sold me on Sea Hunt and he sold me on the right boat to fit my needs. He took me on a couple sea trials and there was no pressure at all. He is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable!
“I can say this was one of the most thoughtful and memorable buying experiences I’ve ever had.”
I can say this was one of the most thoughtful and memorable buying experiences I’ve ever had. From the very first phone call to well after the purchase, George and his team made us feel genuinely valued and taken care of every step of the way. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism stood out from the start, and the entire process felt smooth, personal, and reassuring. Even on delivery day, the extra touches—like a couple of beers and chilled champagne for my wife and me—meant so much and made the moment feel truly special. We’re incredibly grateful to George and the whole team for going above and beyond. If you want to buy from people who are honest, caring, and truly invested in their customers, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

“I want to give a HUGE shout out to Armani!”
I want to give a HUGE shout out to Armani! After many boat dealerships we landed on this place, and after meeting with Armani we were sold. He has made the process easy, understandable and made us feel confident on our selection! We are so excited to get on the water with our 2026 Seahunt 275 SE and make memories! What life is all about!! Thank you to the team at Ultimate Marine, I will forever refer this dealer! Cheers!!
“Absolutely awesome purchasing experience with our 2026 Sea Hunt BX 25FS.”
Absolutely awesome purchasing experience with our 2026 Sea Hunt BX 25FS. Not my first boat purchase but definitely the best with Coltin Herrmann. His low key approach was such a welcome change from the typical experience. His product knowledge and interaction with my wife and I from the moment we stepped on the lot to our sea trial, and closing was nothing short of top notch. His open ended offer to call him anytime with any problems or questions that come up truly shows he cares not only about the product he represents but the people he is selling to are more than just another transaction. By the end of our process he felt like a long time friend and for that Ultimate Marine earned a customer for life! Thank you to the entire Ultimate Marine Team keep up the great work it was a pleasure !
“Ken and his team took absolutely wonderful care of us!”
Ken and his team took absolutely wonderful care of us! We adore our Sea Hunt Ultra 265 SE. They have the best prices by far, great selection, and made the entire buying process painless. From the time we first walked in the door, to the stem to stern walkthrough of every feature on our new boat during the sea trial, Ken provided world class service and is extermely knowledgable on every product they have to offer. Thank you again for the above and beyon service. We will be back for all of our boating needs!

If you’re looking for the absolute best boat customization and service shop in Orlando, Ultimate Marine is hands down the number one spot. The entire team goes above and beyond, and the quality of work speaks for itself. Huge shoutout to Keith, their paint expert, for doing an outstanding job on my boat. He completely nailed the custom modifications and repaint design exactly how I envisioned it, honestly even better than I expected. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism were next level. It’s hard to find people who genuinely care about the final product the way these guys do. Highly recommend Ultimate Marine to anyone wanting top tier boat service, customization, or paint work.

Sales person, George Morgan, was very knowledgable and very helpful durning the sales cycle and up through the delivery.

Connor was awesome during our first boat buying experience! Can’t thank him enough for making it such an easy and smooth transaction. He is extremely knowledgeable and answered every question we had before and after delivery. He was amazing and super patient with us during our water test and went over everything so we felt comfortable with everything. We highly recommend going to see Connor to get your first or next boat! Thank you again Connor!

We worked with Conner for 2 years trying to get everything in place and find the perfect boat. He was patient with us and continued to be helpful as we prepared to purchase our boat. When we were ready, he recommended a boat that met our needs and worked very hard to make the deal happen. We couldn’t have asked for a better advisor than Conner at Ultimate Marine NSB!
“Brian made this purchase very easy.”
Brian made this purchase very easy. We got a good deal on our new boat and and a very fair trade on our old boat. He personally picked up the old boat and delivered the new one. Spent a lot of time with me on the new boat familiarizing me with it. Very nice experience.

After delivery, we did run into a few minor issues, but Connor didn’t hesitate—he stepped up immediately and handled everything without any problems. His communication and follow-through really stood out, and he made sure we were completely taken care of. We couldn’t be happier with our brand new Sea Hunt 229 Ultra, and a big part of that is thanks to Connor’s dedication and professionalism. Highly recommend working with him if you’re in the market for a boat!

“Buying my Carolina Skiff from Ultimate Marine was a fantastic experience.”
Buying my Carolina Skiff from Ultimate Marine was a fantastic experience. I worked with Connor, who was professional, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire process. I live in Jacksonville, and since the boat was located in Orlando, Connor arranged to have it transferred to the New Smyrna Beach location to shorten my commute for pickup. As a first-time boat buyer, I truly appreciated how thorough he was. He patiently answered all of my questions and took the time to walk me through everything I needed to know before I left. His guidance made the experience smooth and stress-free. Connor also included several useful extras for the boat, which was an awesome bonus. I would not hesitate to purchase from him again. If you're looking for excellent service and a seamless buying experience, I highly recommend Connor and the team at Ultimate Marine.
“From looking, to buying, to delivery, to service work.”

“I just want to say what a wonderful experience it was buying my recent Sea Hunt Game Fish 28 from Ultimate…”
I just want to say what a wonderful experience it was buying my recent Sea Hunt Game Fish 28 from Ultimate Marine Orlando. I have been buying boats for almost 20 years to include 4 Sea Hunts at four different dealerships. Hands down, George and his team blew me away with not only the knowledge and expertise of the vessel, but how much they cared top to bottom making sure I walked away 100% satisfied. I want to thank Mario for his craftsmanship and installing my new equipment perfectly! Everything he installed was precise and very clean. It was a pleasure meeting Randy on Wednesday who took some awesome pics of my new boat. Also, want to thank Melanie who handled the business side of things flawlessly and put up with my nonsense of being a caveman :). Another shout to Ryan, that dude is pretty cool! He meet me at the storage place and delivered my boat on time and made sure I was comfortable before he left on his next adventure. As for George, he is as genuine as they come and delivered my boat as promised. He guided me thru the process of designing my new boat passing along his knowledge of boating regarding the latest technology to enhance my boating and fishing experience. Without a doubt, George and the Ultimate Marine Team will be the 1st folks I reach out too when the time comes to buy another boat. Thanks for the FIRST CLASS EXPERIENCE!! Best regards

“We recently purchased a new 2026 SeaHunt BX25FS from Ultimate Marine in Tampa, and we couldn’t be happier…”
We recently purchased a new 2026 SeaHunt BX25FS from Ultimate Marine in Tampa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience — all thanks to Armani. We originally started our buying journey locally in SWFL, and unfortunately, it wasn’t the best experience. After submitting an online inquiry, Armani called me within minutes, and everything changed from there. He made the entire process incredibly easy from day one. As first-time boat buyers, we had a ton of questions, and Armani was patient, responsive, and always available — no matter the time of day. He walked us through every step of the process, made sure we understood everything, and never once made us feel pressured. The pricing was fair, the service was exceptional, and it was honestly one of the simplest and easiest large purchases we’ve ever made. We highly recommend reaching out to Armani at Ultimate Marine. When the time comes to upgrade, we will absolutely be coming back. Thank you!
