Bay Marine - Southwest Florida
The newest location serving the sunny south.
Fifty years ago, Mark and Matt Felhofer’s parents started selling boats out of their grandfathers’ filling station. Fast forward half a century and Bay Marine is now a secondgeneration company with multiple dealership locations representing the marine industry’s most distinguished manufacturers.
Its newest location in Fort Myers, Florida, is a ways from Bay Marine’s Midwest roots, but it turned out to be the perfect fit, transforming the company into a year-round dealership able to serve snowbirds flocking to sunny Florida for the winter months.
“The expansion into Southwest Florida is turning out to be quite a natural fit for us,” Mark explains.
Opened in November 2020, the new dealership is in a high-traffic area just two miles from water access — to either the Caloosahatchee River or San Carlos Bay in the Gulf of Mexico — and a few miles from a public boat launch, making it the perfect location for interested buyers.
The new Bay Marine dealership provides added security and an easy layout. It currently offers buyers new Edgewater Boats — a natural fit for the area — with plans to add other brands over time. Bay Marine also has brokerage boat sales and on-site service, parts and storage.
Easy access to the most popular waterways in the area provides an ideal, convenient spot for boaters to store their boats — long term or seasonally.
“People can pick up their boats and have not only water access but also their destination just moments away,” Mark says.
With plenty of boat shows planned throughout the year and an expanding portfolio, Bay Marine in Southwest Florida is the perfect spot to find your dream boat, or to service and store your boat within quick access to the best boating in the region. H
