Pontoon boat in blue from Bennington which has expanded its dealer network

Strong sales and rapid growth from its dealer network has acted as a catalyst for Bennington to add seven new US dealers and two international dealers so far in 2024. Not to everyone’s ideal of beauty, the company makes pontoon boats, which will now be available in Sydney, Australia and Nordic Boats AS in Straume, Norway.

Although described as ‘boxy’ by some, Michael Shedivy, general manager, Bennington Marine says the company “is renowned for our craftsmanship. Every line we draw, every detail, everything we do has a purpose and aims to deliver excellence.”

He says that this year, the company has completely redesigned its S and SV series (the former is pictured above) taking the more popular models and making them even better. “Our customers will see that difference as we provide them with more choices and the highest performance across every area of their pontoon experience.”

Shedivy continues: “We would like to welcome these nine new dealers to our ever-strengthening network. These dealers are the face of Bennington and a vital part of the overall satisfaction of our customers. We firmly believe that the way to deliver the best possible experience to our owners is to give the dealers the best products, support and profitability so they can focus on being attentive to the needs of their customers. We look forward to working closely with these new partners and welcome them to our family.”

New US dealers added in 2024 include: Centennial Auto Sport & Tire in Charlottetown, P.E.I.; ASFB Marine in Sacramento, Calif.; California Boat Co. in Discovery Bay, Calif.; Sun Country Marine – Campbell in Campbell, Calif.; Regal & Nautique of Orlando (RNO) in Orlando, Fla.; Semper Speed & Marine in Madera, Calif.; and Waterfront Marine in Brick, NJ.

“NXTLVL Marine is excited to have recently joined as a dealer for Bennington’s premium pontoons,” says Blake Flanagan, president, NXTLVL Marine. “Our customers love the quality and attention to detail Bennington provides and we have a great deal of confidence that this will be a long and fruitful partnership.”

Earlier this year Bennington (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris Industries) launched a new apparel and accessories line designed for owners. With more than 100 new items, the product lineup includes apparel, hats, boating accessories, drinkware, coolers and more.
