Ordering your new boat with Spirit Marine is easy. Once you’ve chosen your preferred model and options, our team will prepare a formal sales contract outlining all specifications, pricing, and estimated delivery times. An initial progress payment is required to secure your production slot, after which we’ll handle all communication with the factory to have your new boat built.

The sales contract confirms your boat order and defines key terms including pricing, inclusions, payment stages, and expected delivery. Once signed and the initial progress payment is received, we’ll submit your build to the manufacturer and confirm your place in the production schedule.
