Do you own a Lagoon front home in the Low Country?

Coastal Yacht Management is proud to announce our recent acquisition of the Duffy Electric Boat dealership on Hilton Head and the surrounding area. In the past three years we have been working diligently to service the fleet of electric boats in Palmetto Dunes, Hampton Lake, Palmetto Bluff and Hilton Head Lake working through a dealer located in Georgia. Being a Duffy dealer we now have a direct line to the manufacture in California which will expedite our clients needs for parts and warranty claims. The relationships we have developed with our clients over the years puts us in the unique position to assist them when it comes time to sell their used boats as well. We are here for our clients from the time they buy a new or used boat to when they decide to sell.

Additionally we offer a wide spectrum of services on larger yachts. My love for the water and boating is what brought me to this beautiful island over 20 years ago which has worked well for me.  Having the opportunity to do what I love has been a blessing and I am grateful for that each day.
