Dealer Stories: Living the Lifestyle is a new series highlighting our Everglades dealer network — the anglers, adventurers, and watermen who share the same passion as the customers they serve. From offshore tournaments to family fishing trips, these stories prove that when you buy an Everglades, you’re not just getting a boat — you’re joining a community that lives for life on the water.

Recently, the team at Island Yacht Sales, INC in Long Island, New York joined a customer aboard their Everglades 455CC for a fishing tournament off Block Island. The results? Tuna on deck, mahi flashing color at the transom, and a crew that showed exactly why we say our dealers eat, sleep, and breathe the fishing lifestyle.

Some dealers talk about fishing. Others live it. The Island Yacht Sales, INC team is proof that Everglades dealers are anglers first and foremost — ready to chase the bite wherever it leads. From sunrise rigging to offshore runs, they live the life, true anglers at heart.

From the first hookup to fish on deck, the 455CC delivered exactly what anglers demand: stability in the chop, range to reach the grounds, and the cockpit space to battle big pelagics. For the Island Yacht Sales, INC team, it wasn’t just another day offshore — it was a reminder of why they love what they do.

At Everglades, we’re proud that our dealers share the same saltwater spirit as our owners. Whether it’s chasing tuna, mahi, or anything that pulls drag, our network is filled with anglers who want to share their passion for offshore fishing and on-water living.

This is just the first in our new series celebrating the Everglades lifestyle through the stories of our dealers. Stay tuned for more adventures from across our network.
