How we grew from a wild idea into one of them most recognizable names in powerboating
The core values that have guided us from day one
Built by people who live the boating lifestyle and refuse to accept average.
Honest guidance, real relationships, and support that lasts beyond the sale.
A tight-knit crew that lives the life we sell and shows up for the powerboating community.
Always refining the experience, always raising the standard.
“If you ask Brett MaNIRE if he ever imagined PBC turning into what it is today, his answer would be absolutely not… although, I should have expected it when I teamed up with Mark Waddington.”
How did a friendship turn into the creation of what’s now known as the powerboating mecca of the world that’s headquartered out of a lake in the middle of nowhere Missouri?
Founded in 2011 at Lake of the Ozarks, Performance Boat Center set out to create a true one-stop destination for high-performance boating. What began as a bold vision has grown into one of the most recognized names in the industry, bringing together premium boat sales, service, storage, and hospitality under one roof.
Today, with locations in South Florida and a worldwide reputation, Performance Boat Center is known for exceptional customer care, deep industry involvement, and a team that lives the boating lifestyle. From hosting major events to supporting national poker runs and race teams, the brand has become more than a dealership.
Performance Boat Center continues to raise the standard for what a performance dealership can be — a destination, a community, and a trusted partner for those who expect more.
