Over 40 Years of Boating Magic

Our Past
Mark's Marine Inc. was started by Mark Gagnier in 1970, back in International Falls, Minnesota as a small Service Shop and Lund Dealer. In the early 1980's, Mark's Marine Inc. moved to Coeur d'Alene. Staying true to our Service Roots, Mark's Marine Inc. continued to offer low key Service and Sales from that location for the next 26 years. In 1986, we became the first full service Yamaha Dealer in the northwest.
As the years passed, Mark's Marine Inc. continued to grow, offering new Boat lines and services. However, by 2001 we were beginning to feel confined by our current location. Yard Space was becoming an increasing problem and the detached rigging and sales building had never functioned well.
In 2005, we began looking for a new location that would allow us the space to grow and expand for the next four decades.

The Present
After looking at numerous locations, we finally found one that perfectly suited our desires to build a first class facility and provide room for expansion, a few miles north of our previous location. Mark and Merlin toured numerous other boat dealerships all across the region, collecting the best ideas on how best to serve our customers, before settling on the design for our new location.
The new 20,000 square foot main building was designed with efficiency and good customer flow in mind. A single unified counter handles all the Accessories, Parts, and Service traffic, and a bank of Sales desks provides plenty of room for our sales staff to talk with customers. Despite all this growth, Mark's Marine Inc. remains firmly committed to our roots as a small Service Dealer.
Since then, we have only continued to grow and we look forward to serving our customers here for another 40 years.
