Our Story

In 1964, East Side Marine was established as a small retail and repair boat business and was repurchased in 1984. Owner, Steve Poe, bought into the business in 1996 because of his friendship with the owner at that time and his love of all things boating fostered throughout his life.

Our success is a direct result of the type of people who work at East Side Marine. All are hardworking, dedicated individuals who are highly skilled and a lot of fun to be around. When you sell fun, you should exude it. When prospective clients come in, they leave as customers and friends. We’ve grown from a local one-room business to a much larger intra- and interstate business due to the desire to please our customers.
