The team at Make Wake is exactly what you want in a boat dealer and service department. I went to them the first time about a year ago after a bad experience with another dealer and they’ve taken such wonderful care of me and my boat. This summer, when I decided to sell my boat and buy something newer and smaller, they took care of everything. They are honest, professional, and content and helpful. Picked up my new boat this week and they did such a wonderful job with it. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I highly recommend seeing Bradley at Make Wake Marine if you are shopping for a boat. He was fantastic to deal with throughout the entire buying process. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and offered an excellent deal. Exceptional customer service from start to finish! Make Wake Marine has knowledgeable staff and a full service center as well. They will definitely be my go-to dealer for all of my boating needs.
Extremely Disappointing Customer Service We made three separate attempts to purchase a Sportsman boat from Bradley Davis at Make Wake. Over the course of three weeks, we communicated with him through email, Facebook Messenger, text, and phone calls. We also made two separate trips from Pensacola to Alabama to look at boats. The first trip was to Fairhope, where we viewed two aqua-colored boats. After negotiating a purchase price with Bradley for one of the boats, we told him we were ready to move forward.
