Virtual Boat Shopping

The marine industry has gotten sophisticated in its response to the 2020 Pandemic, taking products online with interactive resources and tools. With many brands establishing virtual showrooms where customers can take 360-degree, interactive tours of boats in current model-year lineups, access to information is more readily available.

In some instances, these brands’ ‘virtual tours’ are detailed, narrated factory videos. In others, virtual ‘docks’ and ‘showrooms’ are set up with full model lineups and supportive VR technology. In all cases, the nitty-gritty details are discussed and connection to a service representative or dealer is made easy. Model specifications are also more readily accessible.

As inventory runs ever lower during this unusual season, and when model-year offerings finally come on the market, these online showrooms may be a strong resource to use to get ahead of the line. If you want to place an order and expect timely delivery, use these resources early and often, and of course, do your pricing research on seedealercost.com to make sure you get the best deal possible.

Here is a curated collection including the more sophisticated online showroom sites available. If you don’t see your chosen brands here, check their proprietary websites or YouTube channels to see what walkthrough resources might be available (videos, boat builder web pages, etc.). Be open to competitive models and segments (see our Center Console and Bullwhip Effect articles). Enjoy the research.
