What visitors say
Buckeye Marine is primarily a boat dealership and marine service centre in the Kawartha Lakes, selling brands such as MasterCraft and Regal. Most reviews come from buyers, and they describe a knowledgeable, patient sales team that handles long-distance purchases smoothly and gives thorough orientations on delivery, including surf-boat etiquette.
The service and parts side also scores well. Boaters describe professional service staff who fixed a no-start engine at a fair price, and counter staff who track down hard-to-find parts, even pointing customers to another marina when they didn't have the part themselves.
Rentals are a smaller part of the business here. One recent renter enjoyed a pontoon and tube, with smooth delivery and pick-up and good communication.
The main complaint comes from winter storage: one owner found rodent damage and a nest in their boat after a winter in storage and says follow-up stalled. If you store here, inspect your boat carefully at pick-up and get any issues in writing.
