Crate's Lake Country Boats came highly recommended to us by our clients, and we could not be more pleased and impressed with their boats and more importantly, their customer service. We have been clients of Dan Crate and team for over a decade now and are currently enjoying our 3rd boat from this incredible dealer. They know how to treat their clients with the utmost care. Our loyalty runs deep and we won't recommend anyone else!

This is our 4th boat, but this is our first yacht and our first purchase from Crate's in Orillia. We were a bit nervous moving into such a big boat, but Brian Brinks spent a LOT of time with us going through the unfamiliar systems on the boat followed by (much needed) docking and handling lessons. He was always available to answer our questions. We have been LOVING our new Cruisers Yacht!

Amazing !!!! This process of looking for the right boat has been very time consuming and stressful... Until Crates and Rich Groom showed me the boat I have been searching for ! Good show! Thank you

Best service and staff on Simcoe ! I have purchased three new boats from them. Would not deal anywhere else.

We just purchased a boat from Crate's and we could not be happier with the service we received. Brian, our salesman, explained the process and kept us informed throughout. The service team was very informative and knowledgeable as well. I would highly recommend this team to anyone in the market.

It’s always been a pleasure dealing with Crates. Honest sales people and they work hard to take care of you for service after as well.

We purchased a new Regal from Crates this past summer. We ordered the boat through Jason and we could not have been happier with the whole experience. Nothing was missed and we got exactly what we wanted and ordered. Jason was extremely knowledgeable about the different models and features available. Everyone we dealt with along the way was knowledgeable and friendly. We have since been back for service and the service team is also fantastic. They really go above and beyond here. We absolutely love our boat and would recommend Crates to anyone considering buying a boat. Thank you to the whole team at Crates!

We just traded our boat in and bought a beautiful Regal. Our sales person Chris Meyer -- if you ever go to look at boats at Crates make sure you ask to speak with Chris, he was absolutely amazing. This is our 6th boat from different Marinas but we have never had the service from anybody like we received from Chris. Helpful, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks so much Crates but especially Chris. You made our experience amazing. Will definitely be sending our boat friends to see him. Cindy & Mike

Had an excellent experience with Rich Grooms buying a new boat. He went above and beyond and still to this day is there to help if you need anything. Mark and Brad lead a great service team and can't say enough great things about this amazing family run business.

Incredible service from everyone...especially Peter our broker. We've been in the boat buying game for many years and he now tops the list by far. Class act all the way.

I'm writing to update our original review and it is nothing but 5 stars for Crates Lake Country Boats!! We now have the full 2025 boating season behind us and can attest that the whole team at Crates is top notch. Our boat was stored for winter 2024/25 and getting it out of their storage was seamless in the Spring. They took care of us right away with a couple of maintenance issues and the boat ran perfectly all summer. Turning it back in to be winterized and stored was again incredibly easy and they worked with us on a convenient date. Brian Brinks (BEST sales and support ever!) is always so welcoming and friendly when we pop in too! Thank you to Brian, Mark, Brad and the entire staff at Crates. You take the stress out of boating!

They go out of their way to get what you need, especially boat parts for my yacht.

Brad is the man to take care of you. Andrew is the specialist. The whole team is remarkable. The timeframe to do the engine rebuild is acceptable.

Absolutely phenomenal to deal with!!!!
