About Skier’s Marine

The Skier’s Marine Story

Rett grew up loving watersports and spending time at the lake. As a police officer, he struggled to be able to afford a modest inboard boat. In order to purchase a family boat, Rett became a boat sales representative. Not only was he able to share his passion for watersports with his own family, but he also helped many others create their own 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 joined the family business and proceeded to open the Athens, AL dealership. Since then, Skier’s Marine has opened three new dealerships around the Southeast (Lake Martin, Chattanooga, and Gainesville) and has seen growth nearing 500%. As of the fall of 2021, Skier’s Marine has broken ground on the Lake Oconee dealership. Over its 26 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.
