Cannons Marina of Longboat Key, Florida has been awarded membership in the Grady-White Boats Admiral’s Circle for the model year 2008. David Miller received the award on behalf of the dealership during the Grady-White 50th Anniversary celebration held recently in Greenville, NC. Grady-White CEO Eddie Smith and President Kris Carroll made the presentation.
Admiral’s Circle membership is reserved for those top dealerships in the Grady White network that have achieved at least $2 million in retail sales for the model year, plus also have earned Grady White’s Customer Service Excellence award with customer satisfaction index scores of at least 9.5 on a 10-point scale as rated in actual customer surveys. These dealerships also must be Marine Industry Certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and sponsor a Grady White boat owners’ club. This is the tenth consecutive year that Cannons Marina has earned the honor.
“Cannons Marina recognizes the importance of strong customer relationships and real long term value,” said Joey Weller, Grady-White’s vice president of sales and marketing. “The superior product knowledge, customer skills and service excellence of Cannons Marina, plus Grady White’s 50-year heritage of quality, reliability, safety, and performance, deliver the ultimate boating experience enjoyed uniquely by Grady White customers.”

I was born a commercial fisherman's daughter in Cortez, an old fishing village off the west coast of Florida where you can still experience "Old Florida" and get a really good grouper sandwich. I went to school and became an anesthetist, after privileged years of practice, I jumped ship to work in the family business - Cannons Marina. I love my job and the view. I am crazy about my dog. Being out on the water is magical. I still get giddy every time I see a dolphin. Often I brag that I had the opportunity to swim alongside a humpback whale - it was freaky and pretty amazing. Fishing for tarpon and marlin make me happy. My life is no doubt boating, but I also love paddle-boarding cooking and travel.
