Women Making Waves

What keeps you from taking your kids boating; from boating with your girlfriends, or on your own? Is it a lack of knowledge, experience, confidence, or something else?

Come join Deborah Lineberry, President and Owner of Paris Marine LTD, and lead instructor for Women Making Waves ™, for an open and candid discussion relating to the leading reasons women become the stereotypical “passive boater”.

Deborah has personally trained over 750 ladies in on-water boating instruction over the past 10-years. She has proven methods and practices to make you more safe and confident on the water.

Testimonials

"Theo and I love Paris Marine from storing our boats there to help with propellers that hit a rock to fixing our canopy on our whaler! They are the best!"

-Maria D. | Service & Parts

"I took the Women Making Waves course on July 15 and wanted to let you know I am now making waves on my own! My hubby has been helping me practice and last week I took our 19 foot bow rider out on Buckhorn Lake with a girlfriend and it was a success! I can't tell you how much confidence you gave me and all my friends think I am pretty cool too. THANKS SO MUCH!"

-Janice W.

"Let me first say, CUSTOMER SERVICE was ABOVE AND BEYOND! I drove from out of town, not because I had to, but because of the great customer service. I had shopped around, spoke to many dealers and I did not have any experience like I had talking with Paris Marine (Darryl). Thank you so much for the amazing communication, always answering any questions, giving thorough and appropriate information to make the whole process go so smooth. I absolutely LOVE my new Seadoo Spark!! Everyone else at the Marine was super friendly and helpful! Thank you so much again, and I will definitely recommend Paris Marine to everyone!!!! "

- Kristen P.

"Our experience in working with Deborah and Joe on the purchase of our Cobalt 232 gave us the confidence that we were making the absolute right decision in purchasing a boat that more than satisfied our wish list. Their follow-up, as well as the service from all of their courteous staff, was outstanding and we would highly recommend the purchase of a Cobalt from Paris Marine."

- Gary B. Cobalt 232

SHOCKED!!!

"This was my reaction when I told Deborah I was having trouble with my used Sea Doo that I purchased from her some time ago. I had told her that I was not really satisfied with the way the machine was performing and could anything be done about it. Deborah's reply was : I CAN GIVE YOU A REFUND OR TRADE ON A NEW SEA DOO !!!! I said Thank-You ! I walked out the door, and had to go back in and tell her I was in SHOCK at such good customer service. She said: DON'T BE, THAT'S JUST THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS HERE--THANK-YOU FOR BEING MY CUSTOMER.

So that's what I did. I put the refund towards a new SEA-DOO. I ask you, WHERE ELSE DO YOU GET SERVICE LIKE THIS!!!!!!

Darryl, the sales rep., did a great job in helping me choose the Sea Doo. I can't say enough how impressed and satisfied I am with PARIS MARINE! THANK-YOU! "

"I received the call about a week and a half ago and [have] been wanting to send this email for about the same time since getting my Cobalt back in the water. I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation for the promptness in addressing the issues with the vessel and getting me back on the water as quickly as it has been. I must say what a pleasure it is operating the Cobalt. I have operated a Rinker, Bay Liner, Rosborough, Boston Whaler and our SAR boat which is a 24 foot FRC...all good boats, but there's that but with the handling, the way it cuts through the water, the throttle is so very smooth and the turning on the water is very nice. The 8.2 liter makes a big difference and surprisingly running around 3-3.5 rpm its pretty good on fuel...The boat gets huge compliments and [I am] having to answer a lot of questions on what kind of boat it is, where I bought it, etc., so it has impressed a lot of boaters around this area and the blue and yellow striping is very eye catching on the water. The layout, has lots of room and storage space. The hydraulic swim platform is a very nice option as well and we're the only boat that has one. The only thing missing is another Captain so I can enjoy the scenery...Again, thanks and hope you're all enjoying your summer."

- Ken L.

"If I had any inkling how much fun these [Sea-Doos] were, I would have gotten one ages ago. Gail of course didn't particularly want to drive it even with me in the back seat. Today some of our water toys blew off into the lake, I wasn't around and she couldn't get the boat started so it was either solo on the jet, or bust. So guess what? Yup, you got it. We'll take another one just the same."

-Mike H.

"[Darryl was] attentive to customer and customer's needs. [Darryl] listens and makes the customer feel very special. Darryl did not give up, knew what my needs were and persevered to try and find the right boat for me. I was able to relax and know that Darryl had my best interest at heart. I was able to focus on other aspects of my life knowing that Darryl would find and deliver a safe and reliable [boat] for me."

- M.J.

"Hello Darryl. Let me begin by saying thank you for all your help with my purchase of the SeaDoo. Craig was amazing and so patient with showing myself how to drive and park the SeaDoo! You and your team are very professional and knowledgeable, so friendly!! So thank you once again for your help and support!!"

- Lora

"Please pass on to Deb, Joe and Craig what a wonderful job they did for us on Saturday. We both felt we learned quite a bit and speaking for myself the session has given me a whole new look on boating.

Let Deb know that Saturday I took the reins and let Fred sit back and relax - he was amazed at how confident I was! I will be making time to practice with the paddle next. My goal is to be more comfortable docking than my hubby - that will take some practice though.

Thank you very much for offering this course which would have been well worth paying for, so free of charge was just an added bonus. Just solidifies for us that we made the right decision choosing to purchase from Paris Marine."

- Gabrielle B.

"Hi Adam, Deborah and Bill. I wanted to send along a note of thanks for the SPECTACULAR CUSTOMER SERVICE you guys continue to provide. As you all know (maybe not Deborah), Charlie and Joey sucked up a mooring line in our SeaDoo last night. Bill interrupted his dinner to assure me that the machine wouldn't explode if I tried it. Having tried it, and found that it didn't work, Bill then interrupted dessert to let me know that I should contact Adam on Friday morning. Being hard of hearing, I contacted Adam last night, who apparently refused to go home until he could find one more customer to help. He arranged an 8 am pickup with Jeff - 4 hours later, I met Jeff at Littles with a once again fully functioning SeaDoo - no more rope infested impeller and a properly functioning oil gauge. So impressive was this response time and service that Charlie and Joey's first comment was something along the links of "Wow, you'd hardly even know anything had happened." Oh to be a teenage boy.

Thank you very, very much for the unfathomably prompt and helpful service. You guys are superb, absolutely superb. No wonder it's a three generation business - it'll go for many more is my bet."

- Michael C.

"Susan and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for inviting us to join the Women Making Waves course. We found it extremely helpful and gave us that added confidence we needed to enjoy our new boat. (It is being delivered by Paris Marine on Saturday and we can't wait!!) Please express our thanks to Deborah and her team who did a fantastic job of presenting all of the important facets of boating. We thoroughly enjoyed it and every team member "knew their stuff" and presented in a non-intimidating way. We will be sure to commend Paris Marine to anyone we know who is looking for a boat."

- Karen F.

"As you know...we tell a LOT of customers...in person about our pontoon purchase...how much we LOVE our boat...I explain that if it wasn't for you ...I'd be floating around on "round" toons...and we tell our customers...WHERE we bought it...and WHO to see. That would be Deb at Paris..."

- Anonymous Customer

"The boat delivery of our new 210 went extremely well last Friday. Craig Copeland, your delivery Captain, was knowledgeable, informative and very kind in detailing the operations of our new boat. The boat looks fantastic and handles extremely well - we are all very please with our decision to purchase a new Cobalt. We will be sure to keep you updated on our first summer with 'Cobalt' on the water. Thank you-Joe and Deborah-for guiding us through our new purchase. Your professionalism and attention to detail was greatly appreciated! Thanks

- Ed D. and Family

"Great service and people...I felt really looked after [with] both my pontoon boat which is stored over the winter and my fishing boat which was serviced right in my boat house..."

"Great people makes for great service - you folks are top notch, from [the] driver who delivered and picked up the boat, to service techs - everyone is top notch."

- Gary C.

"I just wanted to say thanks for all your help and attention to Jan and myself. I found EVERYONE incredibly polite and helpful AND very very professional from start to finish! Love the handout bag and all the little details, such as the laminated ownership, matching numbers, spare key, all the little details.

Boat is clean and neat as a pin. I'm also pleased with your advice regarding the pontoons and features you suggested! I'll be sending a hand written letter in case you wish to post it... A totally positive experience, feels good making my purchase with somebody such as yourself!! You are doing a GREAT job running the show!!!"

"Boating season is now over and Lynn and I thoroughly enjoyed our first season with our boat. We became experienced at using the locks and met some great people along the way - most boaters are like motorcycle owners where is seems you are part of a club that waves on passing, are always there to assist and strike up conversations when sitting at locks.

As usual your driver was punctual for the pickup yesterday which is much appreciated by not having to wait around at the launch site. Thanks to you and your staff for all your assistance this past season and perhaps we will see you at the Boat Show."

- Lynn and Paul

" Deborah, thank you for the second time around for making our watercraft purchase as seamless as could be hoped for. After our purchase of the 252 in 2008 I wouldn't think of looking elsewhere when it came time to update our Seadoo. As with the Cobalt, everything from our purchase negotiation right through to the communication regarding delivery went as smooth as could be imagined. [Paris Marine staff] took care of everything anytime I had an enquiry or concern. Thanks once again and hopefully I will see you when we bring in the RXT for her first service."

- Ken and Jan

"Deborah, I wish to let you know that my experience in the recent purchase of my Cobalt boat was completely exemplary. Your company supplied a very high level of expertise regarding the product, time was spent to make sure that I was educated on the boat's maintenance and operation, and your after-sales follow up was unexpected.

I did not receive such care in the past, especially during and following my purchase of a brand new Carver Yacht some years ago from another dealer.

You are to be congratulated for this level of excellence."

- Tom M.

"Our 20' Pontoon Boat was delivered last Friday and is enjoying its new home on Buckhorn Lake. Thanks to [your staff] and your entire organization for making our Paris Marine experience as 'painless' as possible. It would seem as though 'customer service' is a priority that has not been forgotten. We look forward to many years of enjoyment on our new craft."

- Ben and Janet W.

"The service since the day I bought my personal watercraft has been extraordinary. I experienced a slight issue this spring and the owner came to speak with me, guaranteed delivery on that day and in addition I was compensated for the delay. We do not see this type of service anymore. I have already recommended you to several people. I had an issue with my father's pontoon which he purchased at ***** and we had reported a problem with the depth finder one year ago. I followed up 4 times just to be told that they would not deal with me at this busy time. This was horrible service. Paris Marine cares about the people, no matter what it is - I thank you for that!"
