Overall a fantastic experience with the purchase of our new 481 Fishabout. Thanks Todd and the team for going all out to ensure we were on the water before Christmas. Highly recommend Bill's Marine...

I recently purchased a Renegade 420 from Bill's Marine and could not be happier with the service and communication I received during the process. Todd was professional and thorough during the sales and fit out process as well as keeping me informed of any changes or delays that were taking place along the way (there weren't many). The boat was delivered on time and had everything I had asked for. I highly recommend using Bill's and talking to Todd Hudson next time you want to buy a boat.

By far one of the longest serving boat sales companies in Cairns & in my opinion there is a reason for this. I have had nothing but good service and plenty of support, they dont only specialise in boat sales, but all the gear to go with it, with a great range of electronics in store. Honest fair and reliable prices.

Unbelievable incompetence , new motor fitted would never go back forced to go back after serious issues from their ridiculously poor workmanship that left myself and family stuck at sea then again the final repair was ridiculous I had to go elsewhere to have it fixed properly and I’m out of pocket over $600 to get it fixed properly, would not recommend dealing with this outlet.

Always a pleasure to deal with the staff and management at Bills marine. Very professional and knowledgeable. No wonder they are the no.1 marine dealer in the region. Highly recommended!

Had the part I needed which was impossible to find elsewhere, which was great! However, the bloke I dealt with was pretty rude. Belittled my decision to purchase products elsewhere despite prices being better and based this all on what I assume was a wrong interpretation, as I had priced the same product there prior to making the purchase and have checked again since. Left without bothering to pursue other purchases. Have had better experiences with them prior, hopefully a once off.

Recently purchased a new 70hp yamaha from the team at Bills Marine. The whole purchase and install experience with Nick from sales was perfect and above expectations. Then recently had its first service, cheaper than expected and went above and beyond servicing the trailer as well. Very pleased with the experience and will continue to have the boat serviced with them.
