ABOUT SKIER'S MARINE
Our Story
Rett Tyler (Founder & President) grew up loving watersports and spending time at the lake. As a police officer, he struggled to afford a modest inboard boat. Rett became a boat sales representative to purchase a family boat. Not only was he able to share his passion for watersports with his family, but he also helped many others create their boating legacy. Rett continued as a part-time sales representative until Malibu Boats offered him the Central Alabama market in 1994.
In 1995 Skier’s Marine was established and was run out of Rett’s basement. During the first few years Skier’s Marine was open for business, Rett was still a full-time police officer selling boats in his off time. In its first year, Skier’s Marine sold six Malibu Boats. But, this was just the beginning.
By 2011, Rett’s sons had joined the family business and opened the Athens, AL dealership. Since then, Skier’s Marine has seen growth nearing 500%. As of the fall of 2021, Skier’s Marine has broken ground on the Lake Oconee dealership. Over its 29 years in business, Skier’s Marine has grown to become the premier watersports authority for central Alabama and continues to influence watersports communities around the southeast.
Skier’s Marine exists to allow anyone the opportunity to experience the enjoyment of watersports while being surrounded by friends and family. For this reason, our team is here to guide current and future watersports enthusiasts to their perfect boat regardless if your budget is $5,000 or over $250,000.
Skier’s Marine offers only the highest quality boats from MasterCraft, Supra, Moomba, and luxury pontoons from Sylvan and Premier. Our passion for boating, partnership with exceptional manufacturers, and commitment to customer service help create a unique customer experience.
As Skier’s Marine continues to grow, we reinvest our efforts to improve the customer experience through team development and technology improvements. If you are in the market for a boat or boating service, we invite you to stop by our Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi or Tennessee locations to experience the Skier’s Marine difference.
