September 2025 Newsletter
Dear Valued Customer,
Happy September everyone! This is the time of the year that we should be feeling a bit of a change in the weather but if you ask anyone who works outdoors, we’re not quite there yet! We are at the peak month of hurricane season, but so far, so good. We've finally gotten some much needed rain and after a long dry spell things are looking green again. We're happy to finally get some higher tides here at the marina for a change. For the last few months, the two daily tides were low and lower! Everyone who keeps their boat on a lift is able to get on and off without “bottoming out”. We got lucky once again as Hurricane Erin stayed far enough offshore to bring us some great waves for the surfers on our crew but nothing else to speak of.
Artie Olson and I recently attended the Robalo Dealer Conference at Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo and once again we were awarded a Top Dealer Award. We're equally proud and happy not only to win this award for the 2nd year in a row, but to represent Robalo Boats for the last 10 years. They've been a great addition to the quality brands that we offer here at “The Busy Marina”. At the end of September, Artie and I will be off again to the Grady-White Dealer Meeting in Greenville, NC. Although the official debut of the new 340 Express won't be until late October, we'll get a sneak peak at the meeting and there's no question that there's a lot of excitement about this boat...Stay tuned! Don't forget that the Grady Days sales promotion is in effect which equals savings on models in stock or custom orders. This promotion is in effect until November 2nd, so don't miss the boat…see Artie or Bobby for all of the details! If you're thinking about a new Grady-White, there's no better time than now to “Get The Grady”! Many of you may have received an email from us recently in regards to some special pricing on “in-stock” boats from both Grady-White and Robalo so don't hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about these special deals on select inventory. Our selection is good and hopefully we have the right boat at the right price at the right time to get you out on the water when you're ready! As always, this month we would like to welcome aboard Mr. James Schirard, Mr. & Mrs. Duane Davis, Mr. Christopher Bryant, Dr. & Mrs. Charles Celano, Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Quick, and Mr. Robert VanDyk. All of us here at “The Busy Marina” thank you for your business and we look forward to helping you enjoy your time on the water as much as we do!
Historically, September is the "quiet" month of the year and we get a chance to catch our breath before the start of October (the unofficial start of "warehouse season"). This year we stored over 90 boats in our summer storage warehouses and in the beginning of October we will begin bringing those back to the marina and prepping them for the boating season ahead. It’s quite an annual undertaking and Boo and the crew work hard to get the boats back in the water and meet everyone's deadlines. Reminders were sent out to confirm that the launch dates we have on file are still good ones. We know that plans and schedules change and we aim to please, so for those of you who have a boat stored with us, please respond ASAP. We like to "plan our work and work our plan”!
As always, we're happy to be who we are, where we are. I can't think of a better place to work and play. Of course we’re thankful for all of you, our friends and customers. We appreciate your business, your loyalty and your kind referrals. We look forward to blue skies, calm seas and to seeing you on the water.
Sincerely,
Brian Cunningham
