Our Story
More Than a Boat Dealership
Dunbar Yachts has been part of the boating community since the 1970s, building a reputation around one simple idea: buying a boat should be the beginning of the relationship, not the end.
From our home on St. Simons Island in Georgia’s Golden Isles, Dunbar Yachts has grown into a full-service yacht dealership serving boaters throughout the Southeast. Over the decades, our experience has expanded from new and brokerage boat sales to encompass commissioning, customization, marine electronics, service, training, trade-ins, financing, and long-term ownership support. Georgia Business Journal
We have represented some of the boating industry’s most respected manufacturers, developed decades of experience selling pre-owned boats, and helped generations of customers get more from their time on the water.
Today, Dunbar Yachts continues to evolve while remaining focused on what has always mattered most: personal service, boating expertise, and lasting relationships with our customers.

Why Dunbar Yachts?
Everything You Need Before—and After—the Sale
A boat dealership should do more than sell you a boat. Dunbar Yachts provides a comprehensive ownership experience designed to support customers from their first conversation through years of boating.

Built Around Your Boating
We take the time to understand how you intend to use your boat—whether that means local boating, offshore fishing, coastal cruising, the Bahamas, or longer adventures—and help configure it accordingly.
Support Beyond Delivery
Our relationship doesn’t end at handover. Orientation, training, service, upgrades, maintenance, and ongoing assistance are all part of the ownership experience.
New, Brokerage & Trade-In Options
Whether you’re ordering a new boat, searching for a pre-owned vessel, selling your current boat, or considering a trade-in, our team can help coordinate the entire transition.
A Personal Approach
Our goal isn’t simply to complete a transaction. It’s to become a trusted boating resource you can return to throughout your ownership journey.
