TESTIMONIALS
James Warburton (CEO Channel Seven) - Capelli Owner
"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."
BARB - MULTIPLE GRADY-WHITE BOAT OWNER
“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.”
BRAD – GRADY-WHITE BOAT OWNER
“The whole thing from go to woe has been a fantastic experience. From meeting Ryan first off, going through the negotiation of buying the boat, sitting down with Ryan, Cam and Tom about what we were going to put in it, to ordering it, and waiting for it to come. I’ve got short attention span, so it had to be simple and quick. Overall it has been a fantastic experience. The Grady I purchased has been one of the best things I’ve ever bought.”
DAVID – GRADY-WHITE BOAT OWNER
“Sometimes you ask a question and people give you an answer that is straight out of a textbook. These people didn’t, they gave me an answer that I understood because I’m not the greatest boat person in the world. They care, it’s as simple as that. They understand what the person wants when buying or serving a boat, and they’ll do everything in their power to make sure that you’re satisfied. They’re just very courteous and good people to do business with”.
Oscar - Capelli Tempest 40
“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.”
Patrick Delany (CEO Foxtel) - Multiple Boat Owner
“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.”
