RideNow Group, Inc. announced that RideNow Chandler has been named the Sea-Doo U. S. National Dealer of the Year for personal watercraft and pontoons. The honor was presented by Sea-Doo during Club BRP in Boston.

The award recognizes top-performing dealerships that demonstrate excellence in training and certification, market share, sales growth, and steady performance in parts, accessories, and apparel. RideNow Chandler earned top marks across all categories, distinguishing itself among Sea-Doo dealers nationwide.

“ This one really feels good because it shows the effort our whole crew puts in,” says Jon Lester, general manager of RideNow Chandler.“ We’ ve got a team that shows up every day ready to take care of people— whether that’ s helping them pick out their first Sea-Doo or making sure their service and gear are spot-on. Our customers make it fun for us to do what we do.”

As one of RideNow Group’ s flagship dealerships, RideNow Chandler has the backing of the nation’ s largest powersports retail network. The dealership’ s customer-first approach and strong local relationships with boaters in the Phoenix area played a key role in earning the recognition, helping make Sea-Doo a leading choice for families and recreational riders.

Ingman Marine, a fourth-generation, familyowned boat dealership with more than 45 years of service across Southwest Florida, will acquire Cannons Marina on Longboat Key.

Cannons Marina will become Ingman Marine’ s fourth location. Together, the two family-run dealerships bring over 135 years of combined experience to Florida’ s Gulf Coast, serving boaters across Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte Counties.

“ When legacies merge, customers win,” says Mike Brimer, CEO of Ingman Marine.“ Together, Ingman Marine and Cannons Marina bring more than 135 years of combined history. That means unmatched expertise, trusted service and [ an ] award-winning partnership with Grady-White, all continuing for generations to come.”

“ This award is a great example of what happens when a dealership has a strong team and a real focus on its customers,” says Cam Tkach, chief operating officer of RideNow Group.“ We’ re incredibly proud of Jon and the entire crew at RideNow Chandler. We strive for high performance at all 52 of our dealerships, and RideNow Chandler sets a great example for our network.”
