A local shop that
treats you like a neighbor

Gene's Marine has been a fixture in Clarkesville for years — not because we're the biggest, but because we care about getting it right. We know our customers by name, we stand behind what we sell, and we'd rather turn you away than sell you the wrong boat.

Whether you're dropping by for a quick part, need an oil change on your outboard, or are seriously shopping for your first vessel, you'll find the same straightforward service every time you walk through our door.
