We just took delivery of our new Scout 2 days ago. This is our 9th boat and our first Scout. Scout is a premium boat builder and I was expecting a premium experience. The experience that my wife and I got surpassed our lofty expectations. From the time we left our dock, appreciating the incredible fit and finish of our boat, we were just elated by our Scouts handling and sea worthiness. All of our boats have been top tier boats but the Scout has outdone them all.
From the first phone call to the personal delivery to my dock, the Scout experience has been like nothing else my wife and I have ever experienced. Josh Chaney was always the definition of professionalism, something that I really appreciated, and is unfortunately rare. Jamie Reziznik continued that professionalism with every email and phone call to her.
Susan and I have always loved Scout boats and now that we own a Scout...we know why.John Wadsworth, Cape Coral, FLORIDAStore Location: naples -
My boyfriend and I recently bought a 17 ft. Scout Winyah 177 and it is in perfect condition! Ryan was the broker that we dealt with and he was amazing from the start! I emailed Viage inquiring about the boat and Ryan called me the very next morning. He was so nice from beginning to end! When we drove up to test drive the boat they even flushed the boat with fresh water after we had been in the ocean, plus it came with a full tank of gas! The guys at Viage even gave my boyfriend and I Scout hats after signing the boat over to us, such a nice touch! Ryan answered all of my texts and calls prior to and after purchasing the boat and even managed to get me all of the original service records! I would absolutely and already have recommended Viage Group to friends in the market for a boat. Cant thank Ryan and everyone at Viage group enough!

Max at Viage made my experience buying a boat very easy. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I felt like he was very honest salesman which is hard to find these days. Hi highly recommended Viage Group Naples when your in the market for a new or used boat
Bryan OBerryStore Location: naples -
We are enjoying our new Scout! Thank you Max and the entire Viage team for excellent customer service and delivery.

Josh and his team are great folks, worked hard all the way through getting a special order boat from Beneteau, Barracuda 23, with A/C and Heat. They were very helpful throughout the whole process, and go out of their way to get things done. They made me feel like I joined their family and will always be there for me. If you need a boat there is no other choice, thank's Josh and crew, Rusty
Rusty BatcherStore Location: sarasota -
The team at Viage has been superb. Josh, Alex , Mark, Tyler and so many others have been beyond dealers- more like friends. Everyone has questions and issues wh n learning a new boat and they have been there every step of the way. They jump in and do what they say -giving amazing support and follow up. I cant think of one thing that they didnt commit to and complete perfectly. Even the tough annoying things! Best rating I can give them is I would buy another boat from them and recommend that you do too!!
Bear karwoskiStore Location: sarasota -
I had a need for support for our Scout boat. Contacted Viage Naples and the response to my needs were met with quick and courteous help. Drove into the lot and started looking at a boat similar newer model to ours and was met with a smile and a handshake within a couple of minutes. I would highly recommend talking to them if you are looking for a new boat or support for your current.
Patrick MurphyStore Location: naples -
The entire buying process and customer service has been the best I've ever experienced. The entire group is always available to answer questions in the buying process. The delivery process was amazing with a 1-hour sea trial and overview. Since delivery, the team of Josh and Alex have been great answering questions and even coming to the dock during a fishing trip to help solve an operator error. The Scout boats are really well made and perform well but the team behind the boat really makes the total experience.
Jim SharmanStore Location: sarasota -
Ive said it many times. I wish I could buy more than just boats from the Viage Group. Everything this organization has done has been top notch. From streamlining the sale to handling the delivery, from answering questions in a timely manner to providing additional assistance on the mundane, their service surpasses every expectation. Ditto for their product
Tad DekkoStore Location: sarasota -
We love the boat you sold and essentially delivered to our back door a few weeks ago. Truthfully, we couldn't be more pleased as the boat has performed flawlessly. We especially appreciate the personal touch of the Viage team' efforts to make sure our boating experience went perfectly without a hitch starting from the first time out.
Tom BishardStore Location: sarasota -
Working with Viage Group was one of the best buying experiences that we have had. Scott and the group from Sarasota to St.Pete made everything quick and easy. They brought the boat up from Sarasota to St.Pete so that we didn't have to make an extra trip which was great. Scott went out of his way to come by our home and bring us some of the manuals and paperwork from the boat. I would recommend this company to everyone looking for a boat. They are a 5 Star company and everyone goes out of their way to help you with your purchase and even after the purchase. Thank you Scott for all your help. Kirk and Kathy Fishback

Max Short is a great asset and a gentleman to your Viage Group. Max was true to his word on the purchase of our 195 Sportfish boat plus he did not pressure us to buy. Max called every other day with an update on items we added to our boat. When the boat was ready Max delivered the boat himself with coast guard ready equipment on board. Max heard my wife and I talking about getting two smaller life jackets for our grandchildren and said Ill get them for you no problem. Its just the little things that made our purchase enjoyable and really made us feel confident in our purchase. Max is still keeping in touch with us. Thanks again Max for all your help. Sincerely, Jim and Mary

Highly recommend Viage Group, from start to finish they have been A+, 5 star, top notch service!! I was in the market for a small (<21 foot) center console boat, with a 4 stroke outboard motor (Yamaha preferred). After doing my research, and narrowing my search down to a few brands/options, I came across Viage Group via internet and setup an appointment with salesman "Clark". Upon arrival, I was greeted by Clark, who was very professional and friendly and courteous, and was there to answer all my questions. I am a 'newbie' boater, with only a basic knowledge of boats and how to operate them, and Clark was sure to show me all the features and how to safely operate the boat, and was very patient in answering my 'newbie' questions. I took a test drive for a model I was interested in, with ''Eddie'', who was also a pleasure to deal with, and very courteous, and professional and friendly, and provided many great tips and recommendations for a new boater. After thinking about the purchase for a day or 2, and weighing out all other options, I called Viage back to start negotiating the deal, and we were ultimately able to come to an agreement and seal the deal! They delivered the boat to my lift, and took the time to explain everything to me, and take me on another test run, to make sure I was 100% comfortable with operating the boat. Very patient and understanding to cater to a beginner boater. Now I don't usually leave reviews for companies, but after this experience, Viage has truly set the bar as to what to expect when making such a big purchase, and they have earned not only a sale, but a lifetime customer!! Very impressive professional service from the initial phone call inquiring about there inventory, to handing over the check! If you are a beginner thinking about getting into boating, I would highly recommend contacting Viage Group, since they will not only provide a high quality, safe, seaworthy used boat, that has been inspected before purchase, but also since they will be there to teach you about the boat and provide all the basic equipment needed to ensure safe fun boating, as well as answering all your questions; much better than trying to buy private party, and dealing with an individual seller who just wants it gone quick, and attempting to look up YouTube videos, etc for instructions on how to safely operate and maintain the boat, such as flushing, cleaning, storage ,etc. It seems to be the general consensus to buy your first boat from a dealer, to ensure you learn how to do everything properly, rather than attempting to learn ''as you go'', by blindly buying it off someones yard with little knowledge on how to operate or maintain. Overall my experience with Viage Group has been an A1, top notch experience, and I will be back once ready to upgrade! Once again thanks for everything guys!
Paul CelayaStore Location: sarasota -
It was a pleasure dealing with Alex Wilkes, and the whole team, at the Viage Group. Buying a boat can be stressful, but Alex made it a breeze. The whole team is very professional, accommodating and easy to talk to. Alex invited my family and I to take a test drive of a new Scout 195 Sportfish. After reading up on Scout, and then test driving the boat, I was completely sold. It's awesome. Alex was proud to share the history of Scout with me, and I can see why. Their boats are awesome. Truly. As a former Boston Whaler owner, this Scout is comparable in every way, and even better in many ways. Alex had all my accessories installed for me, and had the boat ready to go in no time. I would highly recommend Alex and the Viage Group to anyone interested in purchasing a boat. You won't regret it.
Aaron CastillaStore Location: sarasota -
I took delivery of my 195 Scout boat on September 26th 2019. I could not be more pleased with the quality of the workmanship and the outstanding customer service throughout the purchase of my boat. Josh was always helpful and knowledgeable and the quality of my boat is topnotch. I look forward to spending much time and many years enjoying this boat and am grateful to Josh who made the experience first rate. I would highly recommend Scout boats as a well crafted, well thought out vessel and Josh Chaney as an excellent representative of Scout boats. I feel like he helped me to design the perfect boat for me and would highly recommend Josh and the Viage group of Naples.
Richard VieiraStore Location: naples -
We just purchased our third Scout boat. Again, customer service was outstanding and Ryan and Dylan literally bent over backwards to get us the best deal. There are many boat dealers in Sarasota, however, in my opinion Viage is the best. They are honest, thorough and follow up (not something you see too often in Florida) We traded in our second Scout for this deal and the trade in amount we got was within $1000 of the amount we purchased this boat for a year ago. We were amazed and extremely happy. Scout boats retain their value and Viage ensure they "do the right thing". We would not go anywhere else for a boat and would absolutely encourage family and friends to do the same.
Andrew TerryStore Location: sarasota -
In June of this year I purchased a pre-owned Scout 195 Sportfish being offed by the Viage Group. Max Short was the sales rep that facilitated the process with me. Max was highly professional, courteous and responsive from the very beginning to the end of the delivery and beyond. I highly recommend Max and Viage when it comes time to consider your next boat or yacht purchase. Mark Fry

We have been looking to purchase a Scout 350 LXF for few months and we were in the process of purchasing one in the northern Florida. Fortunately, things didn't turnout as expected with that transaction (for all the right reasons) and we were contacted by Viage team about a similar boat that they had in an inventory. My wife and I drove to Sarasota to look at the boat at their dealership and they did a great job showing us the boat and answer all of our questions. I had a pleasure to work with Scott Inman who is responsive, detailed and truly a sales professional. He also introduced me to Eddie Russell the CEO, who is a great person and very knowledgeable about Scout boats. Eddy was very helpful explaining the Scout 350 as he had years of experience with Scout boats and Viage is one of Scott's top/best performing partners. In a nutshell, from the start to the delivery of the boat everything was handle professionally and with at most care. I have purchased exotic cars before and had great experience with big ticket items, but Viage sales experience was even better! Eddy took the time to personally go through the delivery of the boat with us along with Scott which was great as well. Looking for a long lasting relationship with Viage group and hopefully for the next purchasing opportunity. Keep up the great work Team Viage!

We are about to buy our second Scout from Viage. We would not go anywhere else. The customer service is amazing. Everything is explained, and when you forget, there is always a friendly voice on the end of the phone to help. We were planning a trip with friends on a Sunday. Sunday morning we had a problem. Within 30 minutes, Casey was at the dock and our trip went ahead. We cannot say enough about Ryan and Dylan. They are the epitome of honesty, integrity and professionalism. We highly highly recommend Viage to both family and friends. You literally can't go wrong!
Karen TerryStore Location: sarasota -
Worked with Ryan and Alex from Viage Group on purchasing a new scout 231 bay boat from them.. They were extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable, They went out of there way to help fit my boating needs. Dealt with several other salesman from other boat dealerships and I felt I was in a shady used car lot.. Definitely was not the case working with Ryan and Alex.
Roarke MorrisonStore Location: sarasota -
Excellent service, high quality & good price!
Lenna Young AndrewsStore Location: sarasota -
I could not over emphasize the value of having Viage involved throughout the entire boat purchasing and owing experience. Viage provides a consistent level of service and responsiveness unseen in this industry. I have purchased two boats from Viage so far and could not imagine owning a boat without the benefit of having Viage on speed-dial at All times! *****Five Stars for sure*****

Purchased my Scout 177 Sport from Dylan Wallace. Before and after the sale he has been my go to guy on any after the sale questions. Just had my 20 hour service done. They got me in and out in short order so that I would not to make a return trip to pick up my boat. Dylan is the man when it comes to customer service.
Johns Marine solutionsStore Location: sarasota -
Andrew Summerour and Ryan Wallace are true professionals who went out of their way to make our purchase of a brokered Scout a wonderful experience. Our family has been more than pleasantly surprised about how we we were treated, and how Andrew and Ryan went above and beyond our expectations. Of course, we expect professionalism, but they showed more than professionalism ... they care about their customers. Andrew even spent time with my dad (after the closing, no less) on the water with the boat giving him tips and pointers, so that he would be more comfortable at the helm. From our family, we thank you. If you are looking to buy or sell a boat, new or brokered, we highly recommend Viage, and Andrew and Ryan in particular.
Raul VallesStore Location: sarasota -
Barry, Ryan, Dylan, Guy... What a great experience and thank you for all your help in selecting our boat and options, buying our boat, receiving our boat. We absolutely love her! To all of the team at Viage Sarasota, you guys are top notch in my book and I couldn't be happier with the level of customer service you provided us start to finish! Waiting on our customized 215 XSF to be built and delivered wasn't easy but you guys were awesome at keeping me up to date on the progress. The delivery experience and attention to all details with Barry was nothing short of impressive!
Robert RoeschStore Location: sarasota -
Andrew is a fantastic salesman. We are so very pleased with our Scout 255LXF. He coordinated several custom changes that we asked for and made a special trip to our house a week after we used it for a bit to answer any questions we had and review the GPS features. We highly recommend Viage of Sarasota. Everyone weve met there has been very professional, helpful and friendly. Thank you, Andrew, for the fantastic purchase experience!
Kate Bretz FredericiStore Location: sarasota -

Thomas SchoettStore Location: sarasota -
Josh and Andrew from Viage Group were an extreme pleasure to work with! They went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable with my Scout 215XSF! I would highly recommend Viage Group to anyone looking for a boat! If I had any family or friends looking for a boat, I would have them ask for Josh or Andrew at Viage to ensure the highest level of customer service!
Eric RuleStore Location: sarasota -
~Amanda~ My first impression of Josh, with Viage Group, he was wearing a Alabama polo, and I thought I can't buy a boat from this guy, he's a Bama fan. I of course am a Vols fan The day our Scout Boat buying adventure was of course the day of the Bama vs Vol game. All joking aside, I could not have asked for any better experience. Josh was amazing during the whole process. Always friendly and always went out of his way for my husband and I. We are now a member of the Scout & Viage family because of his super hard work for us. ~William~ Im totally fine with you being a Bama fan! Just I love the boat, I am beyond impressed with how you went out of the way to find just the right boat for us, and how so far every single aspect of the boat has exceeded expectations!

If you are in the market to buy a new boat in the Naples area. Take the time to stop by the Viage Scout dealer. We had the pleasure of seeing one of their boats at the Marco boat show. From that point Mark and Josh worked with us from start to finish, finding us the right boat and addressing and concerns we had. The process was pain free. And we enjoyed a straight up approach with no hidden agendas. The staff kind and knowledgeable and shared our excitement for our purchase. Buying the 195sportfish has been a great addition to our family. We cant say thank you enough to the staff at the Viage group Naples. You really help make our dreams come true!

We took delivery of our Jersey Lily Beneteau Swift Trawler 44 from Viage Group about 3 weeks ago . Best experience we have ever had with service from a boat dealer. Our thanks to Alex Wilkes who has held our hand all the way with virtually daily contact and hours of patient training and briefings on the systems and handling. This was our first experience with a sleep aboard boat and Viage have made this a gentle learning curve. Our thanks to all the Viage staff who have made this such a successful venture. Peter and Jane Drew
Peter and Jane DrewStore Location: sarasota -
We are the proud owners of a 2018 Beneteau Swift Trawler 34. We purchased our boat from Viage, represented by Alex Wilkes, in early August 2019 and have logged over 200 hours since then. The outstanding familiarization with the boat and it's various systems provided by Alex has been invaluable in helping us transition from the ownership of a 29 Foot open bow pleasure/fishing boat to a larger, completely different design. In simple words, Alex and Viage has made it easy. The ongoing support provided by Viage has proven to be a priceless benefit. We can always be assured that a text, phone call, or email to Viage will receive immediate attention, no matter the subject or time of day. And if the subject of the contact requires outside technical attention, it will be provided as early as Viage can have it scheduled. In this regard, we have found our boat to be completely free of major problems, requiring only very minor tweaks. Finally, we have never before experienced the level of dedication to service, responsiveness, and cooperation, as that shown by the Viage representatives associated with our purchase and after-purchase support. We are very happy to share this "Viage Group experience" and hope we have done justice to Viage with our words. We look forward to continuing a close relationship with Viage.
Ed and NancyStore Location: sarasota -
I recently purchased my third Scout boat. The Viage group facilitated this most recent transaction. Josh Chaney led the charge of a truly unique purchasing experience. The Viage group is more of a concierge service than a traditional boat dealership. Josh was available at all times of the day to assist with the ordering and build process and was in constant communication with Scout. He coordinated with Marcus at the St Pete office to receive my trade, PDI the new boat and arrange for delivery. Robbie then delivered the boat to my door 3 hours away. Most recently Marcus even met me half way to deliver the boat after the 20hr service. They all worked in unison as a team. In addition to the service, their pricing could not be beat. I appreciate the Viage group and their sales and service professionals for delivering a truly unique boat purchasing experience. Well done!
Jon BassStore Location: sarasota -
We had a great experience with Josh And Mark Would definitely buy another boat from Viage

Purchased Benteau 50 Swift Trawler in Jan 2018. Between the boat and all the staff at Viage it has been one of thebest ever boat owning experiences I have had. Alex, Eddie, & Barry created A++ purchase and delivery for us, Robbie in service has been right there to help with whatever I needed. Because of our confidence in the 50 and the Viage team, we have been as far north as St Pete and as far south as the Xumas,Bahamas. They are what all companies, in sales and service, should strive to be. Thanks JM

We can't say enough about our Scout Dorado! What an awesome boat... We do love our Scout! THANK YOU VIAGE Group for all you did for us! Viage took good care of us from the minute we walked in the door! Everyone we met went out of their way to make sure we were happy before and after the purchase. They even arranged to bring by a boat our home before we placed an order to make 100% sure it would fit into our garage! They are all fantastic people! We did not spend a Million Dollars, but they treated us like we did! Alex, Sean, Jason, Eddie and everyone else that went the extra mile to make our purchase an exciting one and the VIP treatment doesn't stop after they deposit your check!!! The service and customer service afterwards is top notch! Viage has sent us VIP invites to boat shows and Rendezvous after the purchase to get you out onto the water and share the experience with other VIAGE customers! Thank you Alex for making our Scout purchase the BEST purchase ever!

I took delivery of a Scout LXF 355. It is White with a Grey stripe and Black Triple Mercury engines. It is very sharp and grabs everyone's attention every where I go. The boat is very solid and rides wonderful in the Gulf of Mexico near Fort Meyers Florida. I have around 55 hours on it and have no engine issues. The salesman at Viage have been very courteous and patient to teach me how to operate all the gauges and accessories on the boat. I am glad I bought a Scout Boat.
Max SmithStore Location: fort myers beach -
We purchased our fabulous 44 Beneteau Swift Trawler from the Viage Group in February, 2018. This was our first experience using a yacht broker, so we didnt know what to expect. We were also first-time boat owners, so our questions over the first year were numerous. The entire team has been steadfast, responsive and very patient with us in every interaction-whether it be via text, email or phone calls. As expected with a brand-new boat, ours had a few items needing attention and adjustment. Alex, Robby and Eddie are always prompt in handling our concerns and they have given us the most outstanding service we could ask for. We highly recommend Viage and their team for anyone seeking to purchase watercraft of any type or size.
Brenda and Rick BrownStore Location: sarasota -
I bought my Beneteau 2019 Swift 44 six months ago, I thoroughly love the boat. I have put 100 hours on it already. I met the Viage group at the Miami boat show and was immediately impressed with the family atmosphere that the Viage group embodies. Our salesperson Alex went above and beyond to get me the best deal possible. THANK YOU for all you have done for me Viage!
James PeckStore Location: sarasota -
I purchased a new Scout Boat 355 LXF back in December. My prior boating experience was in mostly lakes and with smaller boats. The Viage group has done such a great job getting my boat set up correctly and educating me. I have had a opportunity to get hands on training on three different boat trips. Each one, I felt like a was learning more and more about my boat and the best way to navigate these Southwest Florida waters. The Viage Group from service, sales, and training has been the best experience in every way. I would give them a 10 and happy to recommend them to anyone interested in learning and purchasing a new boat. I am very happy with my Scout decision as well. What a fun time being out in the Gulf or back waters. Now, on to learning about fishing which we are planning a trip to the keys. They are a great partner in making sure that my new boat stays in pristine condition and maintenance free. Stephen Farber

Been shopping over a year, and finally stumbled on to the Viage Group between Andrew and Alex they made my dream come true.

I hope I can buy all my future boats from them!

We purchased our Scout 195 Sport Fish after visiting the boat show in Port Charlotte. Alex Wilkes facilitated our sea trial and purchase process with the utmost professionalism. We are novice boaters and he dealt with all of our silly questions with kind consideration. He even adjusted our boat lift to accommodate our new Scout! The entire process was effortless. Highly recommend Viage and Alex Wilkes.

Bought a Scout 255 LXF from Alex Wilkes at Viage on Fort Myers Beach. This was the 10th new boat weve purchased and this is by far the best buying experience weve ever had. From model selection to ordering and delivery everything went smoothly. Even had a mechanical problem with boat shortly after purchase and Alex was engaged every step of the way to ensure boat was repaired quickly and properly
Steve PerseoStore Location: fort myers beach -
My experience with the professional service at Viage could not have been better. Marcus Cruz personally handled my service and warranty request in the manner I have become accustomed to dealing with the Scout Family. In my 50+ years of boat ownership, I have never had the level of customer service that was provided. Every effort was made to make the boat 100% satisfactory. The other guys at the shop, Dylan and Robbie, made sure that I was in and out of St. Petersburg in a timely and effortless manner. You guys certainly live up to your representations of being a Scout Family. Bill Tinsley Lakeland, Florida

The Viage group and Ryan Wallace made our SWFL dream come true. Great company, called and updated us along the way. We may have bought the smallest boat they ever sold but they made the experience awesome. If your looking for a boat and they have it, they will make it happen. Great guys to work with! 5 stars!

Owner of a Beneteau 34 Swift Trawler:
480 hours on her. The more you own this ST34 the more you realize the genius of the design and the excellent construction. The nighttime nav capability of this boat is unequalled. With the radar, navionics, and spotlight it is all you need. I wouldnt use a Flir if I had it. I have done a lot of dark running on this trip, more than expected. If I leave at 5 am I stretch the range by 2 hours each day. Beneteau Rocks. Viage Rocks!!
I also ran back to Key West from Boca Grande Key. We stayed on the beach too long! The last hour was in the dark in unexpected 6' seas at 9 knots. Like I said this is one hell of a boat. Not a drop in the bilge!Joe WilsonStore Location: sarasota
We just took delivery of our new Scout 2 days ago. This is our 9th boat and our first Scout. Scout is a premium boat builder and I was expecting a premium experience. The experience that my wife and I got surpassed our lofty expectations. From the time we left our dock, appreciating the incredible fit and finish of our boat, we were just elated by our Scouts handling and sea worthiness. All of our boats have been top tier boats but the Scout has outdone them all.From the first phone call to the personal delivery to my dock, the Scout experience has been like nothing else my wife and I have ever experienced. Josh Chaney was always the definition of professionalism, something that I really appreciated, and is unfortunately rare. Jamie Reziznik continued that professionalism with every email and phone call to her.Susan and I have always loved Scout boats and now that we own a Scout...we know why.
