This one of a kind program provides the flexibility for buyers to apply a warranty after the purchase if they choose and sellers before. This not only increases the real and perceived value of the listing, it also ensures confidence and a greater peace of mind for all of our consumers.

"360 Certified"means that listings have been "Approved" for warranty or have a warranty applied. 360 Certified not only enhances the actual value of the boat, it also improves listing position in Virtual Boat Shows, increases visibility in general searches, and includes a 143 point inspection conducted by SAMS or NAMS accredited surveyors. This can be done anywhere in the country, and unlike traditional dealership warranty programs, the warranty by the Sea Safe group is way much more better.

The 360 Certified program is the is the only one of it's kind in the Marine Industry, allowing Boat Sellers and Buyers to take advantage of both Inspection and Warranty programs commonly found in the Automotive Industry.

The Auto Industry has demonstrated that Vehicles with some type of warranty or service coverage typically have higher perceived values to consumers and often helps sell both new and pre-owned products. The auto industry, structurally speaking, is similar to the recreational marine industry in terms of manufacturer/independent dealer relationships with the primary delivery of customer service occurring at the dealer level. Over the last 10 to 15 years the auto industry has come to identify three distinct markets: new, used and certified pre-owned. Certified pre-owned programs are now relatively common in the auto industry after being pioneered by the higher-end manufacturers such as Lexus, Mercedes and BMW.

Certified Pre-Owned Programs

Certified pre-owned vehicles have to pass stringent inspections to meet manufacturer standards in order for factory warranties to be applied. Factory trained, certified technicians inspect and repair all vehicles to insure the credibility of the remaining manufacturer warranties or additional warranties, justifying the Pre-Owned status. Pre-owned units in the Auto Industry that include warranty coverage have higher value than cars that have no coverage.

360 Certified brings together this one of a kind resource to replicate these programs for our customers and the Marine Industry nation-wide.
