About Thunder Marine

In the mid 1980's Mark LaPrade decided to create a boat dealership that would offer a customer more than just a place to buy a boat. Mark believed then, as he does now . . .

"If you're out to make a customer for life, everything else will take care of itself."

At Thunder Marine, it is not just the product we sell, but how we do business!

Your boat buying experience with Thunder Marine will be more of a relationship than a transaction.

We believe that your boating experience is more than a weekend excursion. Owning a boat is a lifestyle of fun and adventure!

Come visit us and join our boating family. We are proud to be your boat dealer for the Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida areas!
