Review on MarineMax by Bruce Saywon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

MarineMax provides an all-in-one solution for boaters

I just wanted to write about my experience with MarineMax after receiving an email from them.

I searched for this product on Google search and their site was #2 - . It's ranked pretty high in the organic results but I didn't like the fact that they had a popup upon entering the page (awesome SEO, bad user experience). Since it was something I might be buying, I went ahead an entered my information to remove the popup.

The next day, I received two emails (one saying thank you for visiting their website and another one letting me know that they will be contacting me within 1-3 business days). That was nice of them because there are times when companies don't even bother letting you know that they received your order.

A few days later, I receive an email letting me know that they will be sending me a $25 gift card to shop at their store and all I had to do is go on Facebook and like their page (which I did) . The next day, I was credited with two coupons for the site! So in total so far 4 coupons for MarineMax use within 90 days.

I decided to give it a shot since they have pretty good prices on some of the things I need so I went onto the website because this review wasn't about how great or crappy their site was, but after looking around for a bit, nothing really stood out to me except for maybe one product that I wanted - . In fact, their site is pretty much the same as every other online retailer out there except maybe a bit more expensive due to shipping costs and such (keep in mind that some retailers offer free shipping while others don't).

I decided to try West Marine next because it was ranked #1 for my search on Google -

MarineMax is a website that offers products for boaters of all types. I was excited to see what they had in store, but found the site itself to be pretty standard and not very flashy. They offer lots of discounts on their site which can save you some money if you're looking for new gear or replacement parts. The only downside is that it seems like most orders come with an added shipping charge unless there's free shipping available - so keep this in mind when ordering your items! Overall, MarineMax has some good prices on quality products; however, I didn't find anything too unique about this e-commerce site aside from the fact that they have more coupons than other sites out there.

Pros
  • Join the community of like-minded people
Cons
  • It was quite difficult to find any customer reviews on their site.
  • I received four coupons for my first order with them which is a lot more than what other companies offer (only two).
  • On MarineMax's website, the only thing that stood out to me were the prices.
  • The website is difficult to navigate and lacks any attractive features like videos or pictures.
  • The pop-up adds an extra step to the user experience.
