"There are a lot of ribs out there, but this is a step up in terms of the design and finish. Boats are the classic toy and it's nice to splurge and have something nice. I've had it for 2 days and they've been two fantastic days.
 
  I can see us on this boat Saturday and Sunday every weekend from now until next winter. We just had so much fun."

“Short Marine makes my life owning a boat really easy and so much more enjoyable. Before having the concierge service with Short Marine, we’d have to organise the antifoul, the engine service to done separately which took up a lot of our time. Now with the concierge service, it really is seamless. I know we are being looked after to the highest standard and really with a minimal of fuss. It just means more fun and hours out on the water and we don’t need to worry about the maintenance of the boat. There is no way my better half or I would go back to not having it. I think it’s value for money.”

“Sam and Ryan Short have looked after my boats for a long time. For those of us that love the water but have busy working lives it’s fabulous to have a team that gets things done first time, so that all you have to do is step aboard on the weekend. The boys have integrity in their DNA and their reliability is rare on the waterfront.”

“For me, I don’t have a lot of time so I want boating to be easy and fun. I don’t want it to be a second job. Short Marine was able to provide that and they do for a bunch of my mates as well. They’re obviously good at what they do. It makes boating more pleasurable for me to have a boating concierge service running things for me and has always got my back. It takes the effort out of it for me so I can just jump on with the kids and enjoy it. You don’t want boating to be a headache and the best way to avoid that is to have a good team of people behind you looking after things. They’re easy going, they’re reasonably priced, they’re very responsive, and it’s really made a big difference to my experience in the harbour to have them looking after my boat. I never really imagined there would be a boating company that I could just call and someone would whip out in a boat and help me out no matter what I needed. That quick responsiveness has been great.”

“Really appreciate your incredible service level and communication, during I am sure, a very difficult time of year — bloody brilliant, thank you!! Best I’ve experienced on the water.”
