About Us

Jim and Patricia Stokley opened Stokley's Marine in Lexington, Kentucky in 1972 to meet the needs of central Kentucky boaters. Thirty-Eight years and thousands of happy boaters later, Stokley's Marine has become a second generation dealership that has become the signature of boating excellence in all of Kentucky.

Jim and Pat, who both have had lifetime passions for fishing, were joined in 1981 by son Ralph. A University of Kentucky business graduate, Ralph brought a love for fishing, water skiing and tubing
to the dealership. Ralph began a 27 year career first as a boat mechanic, expanding into sales and service, and now leads a team of dedicated employees. The Stokley's team is made up of the most qualified and passionate boaters who give their best every day.

We challenge you to find a more award-winning and customer friendly dealership anywhere. Our showroom is decorated with more customer service and industry awards than you can count and it's all due to our family commitment of providing quality boats at affordable prices with service you can count on.

At Stokley's Marine, we don't just want to sell you a boat. We want to make you a lifetime friend and customer. Thirty-eight years is more than just a number at Stokley's Marine. It's a symbol of the best boating experience you will find from a family that cares.
