Grady-White honours top US dealer

US boatbuilder Grady-White has named MarineMax Pensacola as its top dealer worldwide, bestowing it with a Gold Anchor Sales Award for model year 2019.

The award represents the dealer with the highest-ranked sales numbers in the entire Grady-White network.

“We are extremely honoured to receive the Gold Anchor Sales Award from Grady-White Boats,” says Aaron Kramer, MarineMax Pensacola general manager. “The team is dedicated to our customers in every way. It’s excellent to see proof that our customers feel the effort we put forth.”

MarineMax Pensacola’s scores for the Grady-White customer satisfaction index survey exceeded 9.5 on a 10-point scale, also earning them another year in the Admiral’s Circle. The Admirals’ Circle Award honours dealers for achieving top tier in retail sales and simultaneously providing world-class customer service.

2019 will be the 13th year MarineMax Pensacola has received the honour.
