Summer is coming!
If you’ve not gotten your boat ready for spring- now is the time! Warm weather is here and we invite you to get your boat serviced for this season. Some good preventive maintenance will make sure you get the most time on the water this summer.
We wanted to welcome Gracie and Daniel to the WLM Team for 2021 !!
Daniel joins our service department as service manager and Gracie has come on board to assist with bookkeeping and admin work. We are excited to have them on board with us.
Inventory is low!
2020 brought a surge of new buyers into boating and it seems this trend will hold true for 2021! Both new comers to the boating world, and old time boaters have realized more than ever that boating is a quality recreational activity that the family can enjoy without restriction. If you are in the market to buy- you better get a move on! New boats are selling out fast!
Happy New Year!!
We are back to our normal hours. Tuesday-Friday 9-5 and Saturday 9-3.
Please come and join us at the Annual Wilmington NC boat show Oct 9-11th.

UPDATE 8/1/2020 >>we are operating at Level 1 for our operations.
This post is to explain to our customers that we have an active Pandemic Emergency Guidelines policy in place at White Lake Marine. Our policy has three operating levels, designed to scale and handle changes in government policy and risk.
Level 1. This includes measures limiting travel, proper social distancing, enhanced cleaning, paid leave for effected employees, and more.
Level 2 enacts the following restrictions:
- No further retail customer traffic in the building for shopping parts/accessories or service.
- Service customers: Boats can be dropped off out front of the building and picked up in the same way. Customers may call, email, or text service requests. Payments can be made via our XpressPay link which is mobile friendly.
- Boat Sales- Viewing boats in the showroom will be by appointment only and limited to 2 customers directly involved in the purchase. We will also accommodate by pulling boats outside for customers to view. Demos are also limited to 2 customers and one sales person on the boat at a time.
- Enhanced internal social distancing of staff. Some staff may have offices moved to allow greater distances between them.
- Wiping down boats which we’ve worked on with disinfectant. (Don’t worry it is safe for the boats and a product we have used for years)
We understand some may find these restrictions as unwarranted- however, we owe it to our employees and customers to be vigilant and implement such procedures to help limit exposure and risk to all.
White Lake Marine will be at the Jordan Lake White Oak landing on May 4th and Falls Lake at Rollingview Marina on May 5th.
Please visit our Facebook page for details and how to sign up!
We are happy to report we are open! After the hurricane much of our area has been flooded and many homes and businesses have been lost. We only suffered minor damages and are operating as normal. We will be working with our local communities and relief organizations to help in the rebuild and clean up process.
We hope you join us for the Annual Raleigh Convention Center Boat Show. February 1st-4th. We will have both Nautique and Moomba boats on display. Make sure you take advantage of the once a year savings from the manufactures.

Meloon, has been honored with a Special Lifetime Tribute by the Water Ski Hall of Fame. “Mr. Ralph” was recognized at the 35th Annual Water Ski Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony held last Saturday at Walt Disney’s World Showplace Pavilion at Epcot Theme Park in Orlando, FL.
The Hall of Fame Special Lifetime Tribute celebrates the lives of those ambassadors who have made an extraordinary impact on the sport.

Ralph, a 2013 NMMA Hall of Fame inductee, held many positions at Correct Craft over the years including President, Executive Vice President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board for over 25 years helping shape the company into an innovative leader in the waterski and wakesports industry. Under Ralph’s leadership, the company established the first water ski team and developed the first water ski promotional program in the United States which is still used by Correct Craft’s Nautique Boat Company and others in the watersports segment.

After months of planning and with help from Nautique/Correct Craft owners from all over the state and beyond, Shaun Murray wakeboarded behind 46 different Correct Craft/Nautique boats in one day! When we say wakeboard, he did not just ride…he acted like it was a tournament! Giving a show for every single pull!
Thank you to all the boaters and sponsors who made this possible.

Record setting day
ORLANDO, FL (September 12, 2016) – The riders have spoken once again and the Super Air Nautique G23 has been honored with the WakeWorld Riders Choice award for both “Wakeboarding Boat of the Year” and “Wakesurfing Boat of the Year” in 2016! In addition to winning “Wakeboarding Boat of the Year” four times in a row, the G23 has been THE ONLY recipient of “Wakesurfing Boat of the Year” since its inception. Now 3X Wakesurf and 4X Wakeboard boat of the year consecutively, these awards are voted on solely by riders, surfers and wake enthusiasts from around the world, representing the true voice of wake sports.
Since its monumental release in 2013 the Super Air Nautique G23 has been the boat of choice for riders from beginner to pro. More firsts have been achieved behind the G23 than any other wakeboat in the history of our sport. Pushing progression in both wakesurfing and wakeboarding propels the G23 to the forefront of all towed wakesports, winning every major industry award to date.
“The entire Nautique team takes these awards to heart each year as we work hard to stay at the forefront, driving the industry with the most innovative products on the water. To be recognized by the true voice and core of wakesports is an honor,” said Nautique President Greg Meloon. “The impact the Super Air Nautique G23 has had on wakeboarding and wakesurfing is just amazing and the progression we’ve seen accomplished in both sports is exactly what we set out to do with this boat. As the development of the G-series continues, refinement and new technology have been added each year, broadening the gap far beyond everything else on the water.”
We had a record turnout for our 2016 Correct Craft Fan owner’s Reunion!
Thank you to all who drove- some over 900 Miles away to attend the event. Looking forward to 2017!
Orlando, FLA (March 2, 2016) – The all-new 2016 Super Air Nautique G23 was awarded the WSIA (Water Sports Industry Association) Leadership Award for Most Innovative Product of the Year last night at the 2016 WSIA Summit in San Diego, CA.
Each year, members of the WSIA cast their vote to recognize industry leaders in the marketplace. Products from every aspect of the watersports world were submitted from the leading companies in the industry to determine the greatest new innovation introduced since January 1st 2015.
The 2016 Super Air Nautique G23 has truly made waves since its release, taking the celebrated Nautique G-Series a step further in a boat that has already proven to change the entire industry. A re-imagined hull design and new technology were integrated to create an enhanced experience that seemed impossible to improve upon. These changes resulted in a perfectly sculpted surf wave with the seamless integration of our Nautique Surf System offering a greater range of adjustability while maintaining the world-renowned G-Series wakeboard wake. The addition of our Nautique Surf Select remote wave control, new technology at the helm with Nautique LINC Touch and Helm Command, PCM Direct-Injection Engines, and JL Audio’s WaveFront™ exclusive to Nautique has created a package that is out-of-this world with no competition.
“Nautique continuously strives to be the industry-driving company; staying at the forefront of innovation. We are always challenging ourselves to create something better that improves our customer’s ownership experience,” stated Nautique President Greg Meloon. “We continue to revolutionize the industry with all of our products and the re-imagined G23 is the latest example of this commitment. Thank you to everyone at the WSIA and our industry peers that voted for these awards,” Meloon added.
