The current Hayes Marine began June 30, 2007, but Hayes Marine itself began with Paul Hayes in the late 1950s in Augusta, Georgia. Paul was my husband's, Travis's, grandfather. He started this boat sales and service facility and developed it into a well-respected and profitable business. Unfortunately, Paul passed away in his early 50s and his son, Bob Hayes (Travis’s father), took over the management of Hayes Marine. It was under Bob’s leadership that his son/my husband, Travis, began his career in the marine industry. Travis worked for his father doing whatever was needed but spent most of his time in the service department developing his technical skills. Travis graduated from high school and went to college to study Mechanical Engineering. Upon graduation, he was fortunate to obtain a job as an Engineer with Mercury Marine. He remained at Mercury until June 2007 when we purchased an existing dealership, not far from the last site of his father’s facility. On June 30, 2007 the Hayes Marine legacy lived again. At our Appling, Georgia dealer location, not far from Augusta, GA, we offer new and used boats from Bennington, Crownline, Stingray and Tige like pontoon, bowrider, fishing, and other models for sale, boat rental options, Mercury, Mercruiser, Volvo Penta and Yamaha outboard motors as well as boat parts and service.

The mission of Hayes Marine is to exceed our customers' expectations through education and honesty to enrich their boating experience and create customers for life.
