Bassett Certification

Each pre-owned boat considered for inventory is meticulously evaluated by our factory trained and certified marine technicians to the highest service standards before being accepted as a Bassett “Previously Enjoyed” Boat.

Moreover, most pre-owned boats offered for sale were sold and serviced by Bassett since new. Our protocol allows us to take advantage of a comprehensive familiarity with their history.

Furthermore, our extensive certification allows us to offer our inventory at the most desirable prices and there are no surprising costs after acquiring the boat.
