"This is the fourth time we've taken this prize, but we're just as proud as when we won it for the first time," said Andrew Short, who now has trophies for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008.
"It's a testament to our continuous emphasis on customer service and support. We strive to provide the absolute highest level of service, to make the boating experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible. We always want to build long-lasting relationships with our customers, not just sell them boats," he said.
Andrew Short Marine said it sells more Sea Ray vessels than any dealer in the Australasian region, helped by having the largest all-undercover boat showroom in the country, with more than 100 vessels on display. The dealership also owns the Yowie Bay Marina in Port Hacking and Fergusons marina at The Spit, Mosman, where the larger Sea Ray models are displayed.
"We believe in trying to keep one of every model in stock so that customers can touch and feel the vessels. They can also take delivery immediately after they have made their decision, without having to wait six to twelve months for production and delivery," said Short.
"Owning the two marinas gives us an added advantage as we can offer clients a marina berth as part of a package. A lot of people buy large boats and can't find anywhere to berth them. We can guarantee berths to our clients," he said.
Andrew Short Marine also organises annual boating events such as Rendezvous and the AquaPalooza that bring Sea Ray owners together, encouraging them to feel a part of the Sea Ray family, and give them additional training and confidence to use their vessels.
