Working with Sean Murphy and the team at Carolina Inboard was a terrific experience. I was more than a little concerned buying a boat from a dealer all the way across the country, but Sean made the entire process easy and transparent. His forthright and honest manor put me at ease and I was confident that everything would be exactly as he promised. I felt supported throughout the entire process from the initial contact, to negotiation and final delivery. I would never hesitate to buy a boat from Sean, even if you live 2,600 miles away.

I have used Carolina Inboard since buying our boat 5 years ago. Everything is customer orientated. They are a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended for a new boat, service and parts. :-)

All of the staff at Carolina Inboard are great. Each and every person there is very friendly, and customer focused. They go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and valued. The boat we purchased from them has been outstanding. We use them for all of our service needs and they have been great. I would highly recommend Carolina Inboard to anyone interested in purchasing a boat, or needing service. David Evans and his sidekick Nala always personally welcome us to the dealership. Justin Swann and his service department genuinely care about the customer, and provide timely service.

I highly recommend Carolina Inboard without reservation. Going to a boating dealership run by boating enthusiasts makes a positive difference.

Thank you so much Justin and Cole! These guys are extremely friendly, responsive, prompt, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. They have been great to us on several occasions and recently even helped us with a quick starter fix over a busy holiday weekend. They are the best!!!

Buying a boat is exciting and stressful at the same time. Buying a boat out of state, sight unseen to many would be considered crazy. Talk about stressful! Even though it was used, Malibu's are high quality boats and unless abused, you have the security of a solid warranty. Regardless, I was skeptical not knowing the dealership or having the luxury of meeting my sales person face to face, with a handshake. Never in my mind did I expect to have a flawless process however Sean at Carolina Inboard pulled it off. From the initial inquiry to pick-up, Sean was my advocate, my eyes, and most importantly determined to make sure I had a good buying experience. (Thanks again, Sean!)

I've done the research, spoke to several dealerships across the country... If you're considering buying a boat, whether you're local or from another state, the team at Carolina Inboard is the simply best in the industry.

Very friendly staff and customer focused. Had a minor issue that was keeping me off the water and they got it fixed quickly. Will be returning again as boat needs arise. Thanks.

David, Justin and the entire staff at Carolina Inboard have been very helpful with boat service issues. They do great work and bend over backwards to make you happy. It was a real plus that they are able to do gelcoat repairs at the same time as providing routine service. Offering pickup and delivery for service has been a life saver. Thanks Carolina Inboard!

Best Customer Service! David Evans walked us through the process with ease, answered all our questions and took the time to show each part of our new boat. Can't say I've ever been more impressed with the customer service, wished I had bought my first boat with Carolina Inboard.

From the process buying a boat, upkeep/service and more, Sean, Dave and the Carolina Inboard Team has made boat ownership EASY. Best decision ever.

Great place to shop for boats and supplies. They will go the extra mile for you every time.

A guy named Cole was the only employee around the day I stopped in. I was in a situation where I needed help immediately and he dropped what he was doing to assist me. He was so nice and genuinely wanted to help. I am very grateful to him.

I have never left a review before but I must say my experience with Carolina Inboard and Hal Wray has been amazing. They have been so wonderful to deal with and the communication has been excellent to the point I bypassed multiple dealers in my home state to purchase the boat from them. On top of that, any hiccup or issue along the way Hal has been prompt to respond and he and his colleagues have been working with me and Key West to get everything fixed and dealt with it. A++++++, Highly recommend regardless where you are located

I can't say enough good things about David and the staff at Carolina Inboard. I bought a boat sight unseen from out of state and when I arrived everything was exactly as David described. I ran into a few issues afterwards and David and his team bent over backwards to get them addressed in a timely manner. I highly recommend buying a boat from Carolina Inboard!

I recently had my boat repaired at Carolina Inboard. I dropped it off in mid August, and had it back in 3 weeks. Most other shops in the area were not able to even look at my boat in that time. I was very impressed with Cole and Mike. Cole kept me updated with progress on the repair. Mike did the dirty work. He also took time to talk to me on the phone about his diagnosis and every issue he found. When I picked up my boat, Cole had a detailed receipt for me that included comments from Mike about each repair. I trust Carolina Inboard with any repair, and HIGHLY recommend them for work on Yamaha Outboards (mine was a 200hp hdpi two stroke). Hopefully I will not need more engine work, but if I do, I will be back.

Great people great work.

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Carolina Inboard. We worked with Hal to purchase a preowned boat. As first time boat owners we had concerns and he, along with David, was wonderful to work with. Their patience, reassuring nature and desire to go above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with every detail will not be forgotten. We highly recommend them to anyone in search of a boat.

This place is awesome...worked with Shawn....the general manager.....was never any pressure..he was pleasant....easy to work......

The afternoon we pulled into Carolina Inboard for the first time, we were just beginning to entertain the idea of purchasing a boat for our family. The dealership was empty and as we were turning to leave, the service technician, Kyle jogged out of the garage and asked if we needed a hand. Even though he wasn't the boat salesperson, he stopped what he was doing to take the time to speak with us. He answered all of our questions, explained the differences in boats and motors and how and why one would perform differently from another. He didn't hesitate to show us another boat that wasn't on the lot even though it was obvious we were nowhere near the point of purchase yet and over the course of the afternoon enlightened us with what was clearly a pluthera of knowledge of and a passion for boating. Although when we pulled into Carolina Inboard to start that afternoon, we were just beginning to entertain the idea of a family boat, by the end of the afternoon, though zero pressue was put upon us, we were certain that we were going to purchase one before the season ended. Kyle took the time to share without trying to sell and because of his authenticity, honesty and knowledge we returned a week later and happily, now own one of the boats we initially looked at together. There's no doubt in our mind that had Kyle not been the one to walk out of that garage the first afternoon we pulled into Carolina Inboard, we would still be "entertaining the idea" of purchasing a boat for our family.

Thanks to Carolina Inboard and to Kyle for an exceptional experience~

Hal and the team @ Carolina Inboard are top notch and highly recommend them to anyone. I am out of state and they made my new boat purchase seamless during and after the sale. Thank you!

I want to brag on Carolina inboards!!! I had ANOTHER shop in Augusta Ga put in some wet sound speakers they wired them wrong and messed my boat up. So I drove to Irmo and I met with Sean and went over what was going on. He was straight up with me and listen to my wants and needs. I ended up adding under water lights, a wash down system and another amp to fix the stereo issues. They re-wired my boat speakers and did a full service. Everyone there was knowledgeable, professional and did exactly what they said, when they said they would do it. I couldn't be happier and they have my business from now on. Thank you for being honest, fair and easy to deal with. I highly recommend this company!!!
