Boat Specialists has officially been recognized as one of the elite in the marine industry, taking home not one—but two—prestigious awards at the 2025 Solara Boats Dealer Meeting held in National Harbor, MD. The dealership was honored with both the Top Dealer Award and the Top Service Award, a rare and powerful combination that speaks volumes about our commitment to excellence in both sales and customer care.
What It Takes to Be the Best
Solara Boats doesn’t hand out these accolades lightly. To qualify for the Top Dealer Award, a dealership must rank among the top five Solara dealers nationwide in retail sales. That means not only moving inventory, but doing so with consistency, strategy, and a deep understanding of what boaters want.
The Top Service Award, however, is reserved for those who go far beyond the sale. It’s about responsiveness, reliability, and a relentless dedication to customer satisfaction. As Solara put it, “At the drop of a hat, your team will address a customer need or concern.” That kind of agility and care is what sets Boat Specialists apart.
Words from Solara and the Team
“We are proud to award Boat Specialists with a Top Dealer Award and the Top Service Award,” said a representative from Solara Boats. “Boat Specialists are the perfect example of how to cultivate a lasting boating community through superior customer service and sales. They make sure the customer is out on the water enjoying every aspect of their boat!”
Jared Potts, owner of Boat Specialists, shared his thoughts on the recognition, “Our goal is simple: get people on the water and keep them smiling. Winning both awards from a brand as reputable and cutting-edge as Solara, tells us we’re doing it right".
