Our Story

2004

A SERVICE-FIRST BEGINNING

Starboard Choice Marine is founded in downtown Mishawaka, IN by Steve and Andy Peterson. Seeing a lack of quality marine service in the Michiana area, they set out to build a friendly, local business focused entirely on service.

2004 – 2011

Building Trust Through Service

Operating as a service-only facility, Starboard Choice Marine earns a loyal customer base by embracing an “old-school” service mentality—prioritizing personal care, honesty, and attention to detail.

2012

Entering Boat Sales

Responding to customer demand, Starboard Choice Marine expands into boat sales, adding Tahoe® Luxury Pontoon Boats and MirroCraft fishing boats to the lineup.

2013 - 2015

Industry-Leading Sales Success

Starboard Choice Marine becomes the #1 volume Tahoe pontoon dealer in Indiana for three consecutive years (2013-2015).

October 2015

A New Home in Edwardsburg

After outgrowing the Mishawaka location, the business purchases Pleasant Lake Resort in Edwardsburg, MI. Renovations begin on a modern showroom, a state-of-the-art service facility, and an on-site launch for water testing.

2016

Gold Status & Lift Sales

Starboard Choice Marine earns its first national “Gold” dealership status from Tahoe Pontoons. That same year, Great Lakes Lifts are added to the product lineup.

2017

Facility Expansion & New Brands

The facility expands again with an additional on-site storage building. PolarKraft aluminum fishing boats are added to the sales lineup as business continues to grow.

2018 - 2025

Million Dollar Dealer Recognition

Tahoe awards Starboard Choice Marine the “Million Dollar Dealer” honor—an achievement maintained every year from 2018 through 2023.

2019

Increased Efficiency & Service Expansion

A new boat rigging facility is completed, improving efficiency for new boat preparation and delivery. AlumaCraft fishing boats are added, and boat hoist installation and removal services launch with the addition of a work barge.

2020

Commercial & Government Work Boats

Starboard Choice Marine begins selling Bayview commercial work boats, supplying government and commercial agencies across the U.S., including as far south as Florida.
