This unique insight shapes our approach to service, where excellence isn’t just a goal, but our standard.

     Our journey began with a passion for the sea and a dream to create a different kind of marine dealership – one rooted in exceptional customer service and a deep understanding of what boaters truly need and want. Today, with locations in Ocala, Punta Gorda, and Pinellas Park, Black Label Marine Group stands as a testament to this vision. We proudly offer an impressive selection of boats, including renowned brands like Sea Fox, Caymas, and Crownline, among others.

Our recent venture, Black Label Outdoors, marks a new chapter in our story, bringing exclusive marine fashion to the forefront at two of our locations, with plans to expand further.

We believe in building lasting relationships, understanding that trust and respect are the cornerstones of not just a transaction, but a lifelong partnership. With Black Label Marine Group, you’re not just purchasing a boat; you’re joining a legacy of marine excellence and a community that extends well beyond the sale.

These guys. Best ever. My first time buying a "big girl" boat, and these guys have bent over backwards to accommodate me. They are kind, super easy going, and really impressed me. I had no idea buying my boat would be this smooth, simple, and accommodating, or I would have done it a LONG time ago! As far as pricing goes, I shopped for a boat for almost six months prior to coming to Black Label MG in Pinellas Park ...and of all the boats I looked at, and all the shopping I did over that period of time, I never once found a boat in comparison to the one I bought, for the price.

So, if you're on the fence, or you're looking for a boat, please give these guys a shot....I would love for everyone reading this review to head over to their website and buy from them, because they were really, really good to me. I'm a female, and it's not everyday females buy a boat, and they never once made me feel insecure, or taken advantage of. Love these guys! Ask for Brian, he's the coolest Irish dude you'll ever meet! Love this place, and I'm so grateful I found them!!!!!!!

We were and are so pleased with Jeremiah at BLMG and the whole team. The service we received was top notch. They made everything so seamless, and when making any big purchase that is rarely heard of. If we are ever in the position to upgrade to a bigger fishing vessel we are definitely returning to them. When you receive excellent service as we did, we like to make sure that we show our appreciation by being a return customer. We will absolutely refer anyone we know that is in the market for a new boat to BLMG, truly top notch service!

My wife and I purchased a 2022 Sea Fox Commander 228 from Black Label Marine Group Ocala. Our salesman Lester Morales was great and kept us updated on the engine arrival time. While we were in the dealership we met the owner, who was very nice and accommodating. Once we moved through the process, we met Jeremiah. Jeremiah answered all of our questions and was extremely easy to work with. I would have to put my experience at a 5 out of 5.

We have not taken ownership of our new used boat yet, but we will soon.  The customer service experience in purchasing our 22' Stingray is great.  They had follow up, team together from various departments, and ensure that all the boxes are checked before we take ownership.  It is worth the drive to this location as we are two hours away in Palm Coast.

Updated April 2022, we did receive the boat and I must say again what a wonderful job all the staff has done.  We had a couple hiccups but the customer service was so above and beyond in resolving any concern.  I maybe followed up too much (!!) but they were always professional and addressed any questions.  I would recommend this company and staff professionalism was excellent.  Big kudos to Jeremiah and Mark in service.

Had a great and smooth experience with Black Label Marine Group.  I’ve been looking for a trolling motor for months now and Lester was able to find one for me and also hold it a few days due to a delay I was having over the holiday weekend. He and Mark made sure my purchasing experience went smooth and quick, as I was in a rush to get back home to Pensacola.  Lester also help me mount the trolling motor on top of my SUV and provided a tie down to keep it in place.  Outstanding customer service! Would recommend utilizing their services to anyone in the market for a boat or any boat accessories!

Can’t say enough great things about Black Label Marine Group! Starting with Lester. Listened to what we were looking for and showed us the 268. Sold!! Didn’t pressure us into it which was nice! Told us they would have to build it 3-4 months. Jeremiah kept in touch with us the hole time thru the build. Gave us updates and sent us pictures. Once it was ready to go, Mark took us on the water and spent a lot of time going over all the in’s and out’s with our boat to make sure we were comfortable.  Both my wife and I couldn’t be more happier and we both highly recommend Black Label Marine Group for your next boat purchase!! Thank you!!!!

We recently brought out boat in to Black Label Marine Group for routine maintenance. We were absolutely pleased with their quick and courteous customer service. It is obvious that the staff there love their jobs because everyone was polite, happy and extremely helpful with any of our questions or concerns. The service department receptionist was especially helpful. Every step of the way, we received phone calls informing us of any delays or advise concerning our boat. If you looking for a boat, this is the place to purchase! They will walk with you every step.

Buying a boat from Black Label Marine was a wonderful experience. From the test drive to the contract it was easy. Mike and the guys who work there were all super friendly and know what they are doing. My boat was rigged just as I asked. And when I had a couple of new boat issues the were there the next day to repair the issues. I can call Mike anytime to talk about the boat and he’s always very helpful. I feel I get the personalized attention I look for in a business. I don’t give good reviews lightly, you can’t go wrong with Black Label Marine.

Nothing but class. I represented an older friend of mine to purchase a new Sea Fox boat. We met John the owner and Mike the manager at a local boat show. I have never seen a business like this dots the i’s and cross the t’s like this group. First I would like to point out the respect shown towards my friend. It was overboard and appreciated. We picked up the boat in Punta Gorda. We were assigned a Captain for the day to go over the operation of the boat. His name was Patrick who himself, exceeded all expectations. Once again showing professionalism, respect and kindness towards my friend. We have picked up the boat and John has also offered to get us in touch with a reputable canvas installer to help us in that direction as well . If you are looking for a fair and trustworthy group to purchase a new boat from, you may want to reach out to them.
