Coming all the way from Quebec City and the service was worth the run! The best team ever.

I don't often write reviews, but in this case I think it's well deserved. After purchasing my boat, I discovered an issue that raised some concerns. Rather than ignoring the situation or making excuses, the team at Crate's listened, took my concerns seriously, communicated openly throughout the process, and resolved the issue quickly and professionally. They went above and beyond to ensure the repairs were completed properly and kept me informed every step of the way. It's easy to judge a business when everything goes smoothly, but a company's true character is shown by how they respond when things don't go as planned. In my experience, Crate's went the extra mile to make sure I was completely satisfied and confident in both my purchase and the service they provide. A sincere thank you to Jason Crate, Brian Brinks, and the entire service and parts teams for your professionalism, transparency, and commitment to making things right. That level of customer care is truly appreciated, and it's why I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Crate's to anyone looking to purchase or service a boat.

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.

I cannot express how pleased we are with the service at Crates. Their attention to detail, accountability for their work and up front honest feedback is so appreciated and why we drive over an hour to bring it here.

Good people.

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.

The entire team at Crates Country Boats excells at service. From the owners to the sales, service, tech crews.When you want to have a genuine great customer experience they rank #1. They make you feel like a part of their family, no matter what size boat you buy. We bought our boat over 9 years ago and the service and attention has not diminished. Having dealt with many sales people in my lifetime they should be teaching sales and service to other businesses. We still love our boat! Thanks Crates Orillia, you all are the Best!

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!

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

Cindy M.

Very knowledgeable and always do a great job when dealing with my vessel.

Scott D

Awesome customer service! Vast selection and extremely informative sales-staff for my potential marine purchase. I had the pleasure of speaking with Bill who was patient and explained to me the in's and out's of logistics for the class of boats I was inquiring about. I will definitely be doing business with Bill at Crates and would absolutely refer any of my friends and family as well.

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.

Eric P

Absolutely phenomenal to deal with!!!!

Randy (RAAPT)

Very trustworthy dealer. Have known Jason Crate for 30 years. Always fair and honest.

Pablo C.

He spent over an hour going over different models of boats with us with no guarantee at that time...of us making a purchase. Regal (boat manufacturer) products appear to be well built, well appointed, higher end pieces, and the prices reflect that. Chris even steered us away from a boat he knew "could be problematic". Came away with a new 2022 Regal LS2, thanks to Chris, our salesperson for helping make a great deal for us, and Meaghan in the business office for her work as well. We really appreciate the excellent help and broad knowledge, and patience of their staff. ***I would HIGHLY recommend Crate’s (Family) Lake Country Boats for all your boating needs.*** These guys are FANTASTIC to work with.
