Locally owned since 2020

Built on Gulf Coast roots—and the trust of our customers.

Make Wake Marine is an independent Fairhope boat dealership and service company. We grew through the difficult early years of COVID, expanded the ways we can serve boaters and built our reputation one customer, one boat and one completed job at a time.

Our story

A small business with a personal stake in every job.

Make Wake was established in 2020 by people who grew up around the northern Gulf Coast and understand that boating here is more than recreation. It is time with family, early mornings with friends, a child’s first fish and the freedom to enjoy the place we call home.

We have continued to grow our dealership, service capabilities and product knowledge without losing the accountability that comes with local ownership. When you choose Make Wake, every purchase and every service invoice supports local families. That responsibility is personal to us.

Our mission is straightforward: provide honest recommendations, quality work and timely communication. We want customers to understand the work being performed, feel confident in the result and know who stands behind it.

Honest

Clear recommendations based on what your boat actually needs and how you use it.

Quality

Careful work from a team that takes pride in doing the job correctly and supporting it afterward.

Timely

Thoughtful scheduling, parts preparation and communication aimed at reducing unnecessary downtime.

The people behind Make Wake

Our history on and around the water

A growing collection of company milestones, Gulf Coast memories and the people whose families and time on the water shape how we serve yours.

Still earning it

A reputation is never finished.

Recognition such as Best of Baldwin reflects the experiences customers have shared, but maintaining that trust matters more than any single award. We remain focused on dependable service, strong manufacturer relationships and treating customers the way a locally owned business should.
