Experience The Difference

Well-Maintained Quality Boats

As a luxury new boat dealer for Sea Ray, Chris Craft, and other top brands, our used boats were previously owned by people who demand quality and routinely service their boats. Therefore, we offer high-end used boats which have been well taken care of.

Lightly Used In Freshwater

Iowa lakes are salt-free and FREEZE in winter! Our boats are used in clean, fresh water not saltwater which causes pre-mature aging and corrosion of hardware and engine parts. Our short upper Midwest season produces gently used boats with low hours.

Must Pass 70-Point Inspection

Certified marine technicians test and inspect our boats’ components and systems. Any shortcomings are remedied. This process ensures reliable used boats move from our showroom to the water ready for an enjoyable, trouble-free boating experience.

Professionally Cleaned & Detailed

All used boats are detailed from top to bottom by professional marine detailers who scour exterior surfaces and engine gear, hardware and canvas, as well as interior seating, carpets, and compartments.

Iowa Affordable Pricing

With the 5th lowest cost of living in the country, Iowa goods are affordable and boats are no different. Talk about value-our boats have low hours, gentle freshwater use, AND aggressive pricing! The REAL used boat deal.

IOWA NICE BUYING EXPERIENCE

Mau Marine has been family owned for over 35 years and our family is in fact “Iowa Nice.” We do what we say and so do our boats. Not only do we listen to what you want, we are ready to give it to you in a personalized way. You tell us how you want to shop, buy, and take delivery. Midwestern hospitality and service is all we know.

Featured Boats

We have over 80 used boats from 13 ft to 42 ft in length.

FAQs

Do You Have Pontoons Or Jet Skis?

YES! Our inventory changes quickly but we DO carry most brands & styles of boats-from pontoons to tournament ski boats to open bow cruisers. We DO carry personal watercraft-seadoos and jet skis.

What If I Can’t Make It To Your Showroom

No problem! We offer virtual tours, Facetime walkthroughs, and more pictures than you can shake a stick at. We will shrink the miles between you and your perfect boat and make you feel like you are here and at the helm. Many customers choose their boat online and only venture to Okoboji on delivery day to learn the ropes and hit the water! Now that’s worth the trip!

Do You Deliver?

Of course! We are happy to discuss any specific needs you have including delivery options. Our driveway delivery services still include our personalized orientation to your new boat so you are ready to use all of its features.

What If You Don’t Have What I’m Looking For?

If you don’t see exactly what you want, let us know. Chances are good we can find it!

What Exactly Is An Iowa Nice Used Boat?

A gently-used, well-maintained, professionally inspected, expertly cleaned vessel without the new boat price!

Why Buy From Mau Marine?

So, you want to buy a used boat? Smart! You’ve found the place where climate, type of previous owners, and style of boating converge with advantageous economic conditions. An Iowa Nice Used Boat from Mau Marine will give you the most boat for your money!

Can’t I Just Buy My Boat From My (Buddy/Cousin/Neighbor)?

Well, you CAN, of course. But these are the boats that end up in our service department with problems. So while it may seem easy and comfortable to buy from Uncle Eddie, unless he is a certified marine technician, even HE may not know what he is passing along to you. Simply put, private purchases are risky. What seems like a good deal can end up resulting in expensive repair bills, loss of time on the water, and awkward family reunions!

About

A second generation, Midwestern family business, Mau Marine is owned and operated by two sisters, Julie Andres and Susan Mau. The company was founded and remains dedicated to customer service, integrity, and the pursuit of happiness in boating.

Situated where East and West Lake Okoboji meet in Northwest Iowa, Mau Marine’s campus features an indoor 100-boat showroom, 80-slip marina and service facility, and the iconic Okoboji Store Restaurant. Easily accessed by both land and water, this historic Highway 71 location has housed a marine facility for over a century.

Though we operate in a small town, we are kind of a big deal having received the Top Customer Service Award for Sales of Service awarded by the National Marine Manufacturers Association and based on customer surveys and being named a Platinum Level Dealer for Mercury and Mercruiser Marine.

Mau Marine is a dealer for the following NEW boat brands:
