One of two showrooms at Stokley’s Marine featuring our full line of boats, accessories store, parts and service departments, and dedicated support team.
In 1972, Jim and Patricia Stokley opened Stokley’s Marine in Lexington, Kentucky, to meet the needs of Central Kentucky boaters. Almost fifty years and thousands of happy boaters later, Stokley’s Marine is a second-generation, family-owned dealership that has become the signature of boating excellence in Kentucky.
In 1981, Ralph joined his mom and dad at the dealership. A University of Kentucky business graduate, he brought a love for fishing, water-skiing, and tubing to the dealership. Ralph began his nearly forty-year career as a boat mechanic, expanded into sales and service, and now leads a team of dedicated employees. The Stokley’s team is made up of the industry’s most qualified and passionate boaters, and they give their best every day.
