Testimonials

What our customers are saying

  • This place is new to me. I have been out of the boat ownership picture for years. I made a big order and by my own error, i ordered the wrong item. GLS has a second to none customer service in all aspects of doing business on-line. I cannot emphasize the happiness and stress free experience enough. I highly recommend your hard earned dollars to be spent at Great Lakes Skipper.

  • The customer service is great up to the point where you have to return a product. I ordered a boat cover for my 2019 Sun Tracker and mistakenly ordered one for a 2018. It obviously didn’t fit, so I searched until I found the cover for a 2019 and returned the 2018 cover. They waved the restocking fee because I ordered a new one. The second cover doesn’t fit either. This time the return was paid for.
