No one can beat the service at Gordys, no one! The team here is always willing to help and will always go above and beyond for their customers! They have made a customer for life. I always appreciate the help from Jimmy, John and Austin! Thank you for making our boating experience better and better each summer!

I am a recent first-time boat owner on the Chain OLakes. When I started shopping around, I talked with quite a few people in the area. One of the recurring things that came up was how important it was to find the right people to work with. Gordys, and Jimmy Kelsey in particular, came highly recommended. The reviews you see here are the real deal. Jimmy is highly informed about the marine industry and the Chain. I worked with him to find a great boat at a price point that I was comfortable with. Everything was up-front with no surprises. In addition - the advice he has provided (and continues to provide) after the sale have been very much appreciated. Upon taking delivery of the boat, Jimmy took the time to walk through all of the functionality, including procedures for taking the boat out, maneuvering and docking. This experience has been fantastic, and I now feel like I have a partner for all of my future boating needs. I couldnt be happier! Highly recommended!

The team at Gordys Lakefront Marine is awesome! I first met Jim Kelsey last year when my wife and I were shopping for a different boat. Needless to say, the wish list she wanted a boat to have made it seem like we were going to need to settle. After-all, its like buying a house, right? Well, Jim took the time to listen and then showed us the light! Cobalt had it all! High-end quality of a luxury boat. Spacious and open like a pontoon. Huge, low swim platform like a ski-boat with the ride of a cruiser! Wow! Needless to say, we are now proud owners of a used 232 and love everything about it! Being a 10 years old vessel, I worked with Melissa in their service department (Fontana, WI) for a little updating. Upon dropping off the boat at Cobalt Farms, I didnt realize that it was going to be like a spa for boats! Just incredible! From sales to service and everything in between (such as local functions, group outings and customer appreciation events), we highly recommend Gordys to anyone looking to get on the water!

I became a first time boat owner 5 years ago. After visiting Gordy’s Marine and meeting Jimmy Kelsey, I was sold! Jimmy is the kind of boat salesperson who puts his customers first. Not only does Jimmy know boating, he knows what boat owners or new boat owns want and need. First class service from a first class salesperson. Gordy’s Marine has the best service department and customer service anywhere in the country. If you are looking for a boat, see Jimmy Kelsey and Gordy’s.

We had a great experience purchasing our first boat from Jim at Gordys in Fox Lake. Jim took the time to listen to us and probably knew better what we were looking for than we did at the time. He found us a boat that was perfect for our situation. No question was ever too dumb. Upon delivery he took all the time we needed to be comfortable with the boat. He continues to check in periodically to make sure we are still good. Gordys is a great option for us as its a on stop shop from service to storage to accessories. We really appreciated all the help and education

I have had the opportunity to initially meet Gordys in Fox Lake approximately 6 years ago. Since that time my experiences have been terrific. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable of the Cobalt product line and is more than willing to help- so that you consistently enjoy your boat. Jimmy Kelsey directed us to the best boat for our family and treats us more as a member of his family rather than a client. His professionalism and honesty is over the top. I can’t brag enough about him (Lord knows the number of people I have sent his way). In my world there is only 1 Cobalt dealer and that is Gordy’s.

There is no finer Marine or Boating establishment anywhere in the United States. Impeccable experience from Day 1. They make you feel like your part one big Family. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is on point, well trained, and extremely professional.I highly recommend you contact Jimmy Kelsey and purchase your next boat from him. He has made and continues to make all our Boating Dreams come true.

I was looking for a gently used Cobalt and found Gordys had the best inventory and knowledge when comparing to other dealers out there. The entire experience was first class. Jimmy Kelsey made the entire process an education and didnt feel like we were being sold to. Post sales Gordys has been amazing as well. I will definitely be back for my next boat purchase.

We looked at several boat dealers and sales brokers; none matched the attention we received from Jack and Kristy at Gordy’s! Bought our beautiful SouthBay and can’t be more pleased at all aspects of the experience!

My wife and I first experienced Gordys roughly a year ago when we decided it was time to invest in a family boat. I can honestly state that from day one until now, I have never encountered better/stronger customer service in almost any service business my family has interfaced with (restaurants, automobiles, boat, retailer facilities, etc.). These guys are the real deal, and the compliments dont stop within service. They operate a well-oiled machine as it relates to experience within their sales department, standing for quality (not quantity), and at every turn they position themselves to think how they can better their operation for us, the customer. We love our Cobalt, our sales lead Jack, the service leads Tiffany, Cassie, etc. and know exactly where wed shop for our next boat :)! Cant miss with these guys.

We’ve been with Gordy’s Fox Lake for 5 summers. Service from the team including Jimmy, Julie, Jack, Rich and Rick is outstanding. Five years ago we wondered into Gordys Fox Lake and met a fantastic salesman, Jimmy, who sold us on the Cobalt brand and the fantastic Gordys organization. Gordy’s service is outstanding. Our boat is dealt with professionally all season with Gordy’s taking great care to ensure it’s in top running shape for the boating season. If your thinking of becoming a boating family or just want to learn a ton about the great craftsmanship of Cobalt or MasterCraft boats drop in and see Jimmy and the awesome Gordys Fox Lake Team.

My husband and I have been customers of Gordys since 2006. We couldnt be happier with them. Whenever anyone says they are thinking of buying a boat I send them to Jimmy Kelsey. He lives and breaths boats, and he is just an all around great person! We also love the rest of the team at Gordys - service is top notch, and we never worry about our boat when it goes to the Farm every Fall. Having them on our boating team is truly a great experience.

Gordys in Fox Lake sets the bar from sales to service and beyond. Jim Kelsey helped guide us in our purchase to make sure the product we purchased was the correct fit for our family. The support of the Gordys staff in Fox Lake and Fontana Lakefront is simply the best no matter what your boating experience is.

Anyone looking to to buy a boat should steer their search to Gordy’s and get Jimmy Kelsey as your salesman. He wasnt interested in selling me the most expensive boat but the boat that fit my needs. Jimmy took into consideration where I boat, how my family and I use the boat, how many people we have on it etc.. Everything he advised me on from engine power to performance has been extremely accurate.

Jack did a great job taking care of us when we bought our used Master Craft NXT22 from Gordys in the fall last year. He never pressured. He even, at the last minute, allowed my cousin to buy our trade in without marking it up, to help the deal go smoothly. He went above and beyond!

Can’t say enough about the level of service we receive from the whole crew at Gordy’s. Jimmy helped us get into the absolute perfect boat for our family, and since then the whole crew has been great. We are treated like VIPs every time we’re there.

Gordys is the BEST!!! I had a 10 year old SeaRay but always dreamed of owning a Cobalt! My dream finally came true and I couldnt be more happy with the performance of my new 220S!! It handles like a high performance sports car and is so much quicker than my old boat. It looks beautiful and i get tons of compliments. Some have told me its there favorite boat on my lake. I worked with Jack and Katie who are top notch people. Never pushy and always willing to help with my questions. Jack even delivered the boat to Crystal Lake, launched it and spent the day showing me how everything worked. Just a great experience! Gordys not only looks like a great dealer....they are! Thank you!

Gordy’s, both in Fontana, WI and Fox Lake, is fantastic! The Fox Lake facility is run by Jimmy Kelsey, who has always taken care of us like royalty. He can do this because of people like Julie, Rich, & Jack, the best staff around!

Gordys service is honestly incredible, from the amazingly smooth sales process (Jimmy is phenomenal to work with) to they daily marina use and service (Julie and Rich will do anything they can for you) Gordys Fox Lake is truly top notch thanks to the excellent team that operates it. I have been a customer for 2 years and will be there for years to come.
