Pride Marine Group Expands to Innisfil Location

Karen and Paul Nickel, owners of The Pride Marine Group have announced that the company has expanded to embrace their sixth location with the acquisition of the former Boat Max dealership in Innisfil, Ontario. The high-visibility location fronts onto the very heavily travelled Highway 400, just south of Barrie, Ontario. Several other boat and cottage related businesses are also located here. The Boat Max facility is a modern, architecturally attractive building on a large parcel of land and with a showroom area suitable for the display of a whole range of boats. Service bays are also included and the location will be very convenient to boaters looking for warranty and service for their boats as well as storage services. In particular, the Pride Marine Group who are now Chaparral dealers, will continue sales, service and support for the Chaparral owners who had previously dealt with Sandy Cove Marine. That business fell into receivership earlier this year and their Innisfil, Ontario location has closed. The Pride Marine Group are dealers for Chris Craft, Crownline, EdgeWater, Nautique, Correct Craft, Tiara and South Bay.
