Barletta Pontoon Boats partners with Grace Marine

Bristol, IN --Barletta Pontoon Boats, located in Bristol, IN, and Grace Marine located in LeClaire, IA, have agreed to partner together to make the dream of Barletta Pontoon Boat ownership a reality in “The Hawkeye State.”

Family owned and operated for the last 35 years, Grace Marine has become a leader in the Quad City area, Iowa, Illinois, and the midwest. The team at Grace Marine understands that sometimes it can be hard to find the time to get away to the water. That last thing you want to worry about once you get there is the boat and all the things that go into a day on the water. Grace Marine is focused on making your time on the water as hassle-free as it can possibly be by selling great boats with reliable motors, and standing behind you in case something goes awry.


Barletta Pontoon Boats has assembled, and continues to assemble, an impressive network of exceptional dealers around the country. Grace Marine is no exception. The Barletta team brings a unique customerfocused/dealer-centric approach that has been widely embraced as a breath of ”fresh air”to the marine industry.


“I have been in the marine industry for 40 years and have dealt with a ton of other manufacturers,” stated Carl Hoyt, Sr., owner of Grace Marine. “Barletta Pontoon Boats, by far, is the best parts and customer service department I have ever dealt with. And because they take care of me and my team, I can in turn take care of my customers better and faster, getting them back on the water as soon as possible.”


“Even if you are fortunate enough to live on the water, there’s a lot that goes into a day of boating,” stated Jeff Haradine, VP of Sales at Barletta Pontoon Boats. “Carl’s team at Grace Marine gets that. And they understand that when you can finally make time to get to the water, the last thing you want is to be standing on shore.

One of the many reasons we are excited to partner with Grace Marine is because of their passionate approach to the customer experience.”

“As we built our customer experience team over the past several months, one of our focuses is to try and limit the time off the water for our owners,” continued Bill Fenech, President & Co-Owner of Barletta Pontoon Boats. “Even with some of the most robust quality controls in the industry, and with a completely independent white-glove inspection process, things happen. It’s how we respond to those things, though, that is important.

Our team takes pride in it’s ability to respond quickly and accurately to our dealers needs. Carl’s comments tell me we are doing the right thing - and we’ll continue to do the right thing and improve as our business grows and matures. Their passion for all things boating is inspiring - we are proud to be partnered with the team at Grace Marine and are excited for their future with Barletta.”
