Longboat Key, FL — September 24, 2025 — Ingman Marine, a fourth-generation, family owned boat dealership with more than 45 years of service across Southwest Florida, is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to acquire Cannons Marina on Longboat Key. The acquisition closing is imminent. Cannons Marina will become Ingman Marine’s fourth location, strengthening a long-standing partnership with Grady-White Boats. Together, the two family-run dealerships bring over 135 years of combined experience to Florida’s Gulf Coast — delivering unparalleled knowledge, service, and partnerships to boaters across Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte Counties.
Both Ingman Marine and Cannons Marina are award-winning dealerships, recognized nationally as top Grady-White dealers. Their shared reputation for excellence and integrity has set the standard for customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty throughout Florida — and now, together, they raise the bar beyond any other dealership
For almost half a century, the Ingman family has grown from a single location into one of Florida’s most respected names in boating. Now in its fourth generation, the family continues to lead the business with a focus on integrity, expertise, and customer service. Ingman’s enduring partnership with Grady-White and Yamaha Outboard Motors has been central to that growth and reputation.
Founded in 1955, Cannons Marina is Florida’s oldest and most regarded Grady-White dealer, representing the brand for nearly five decades. Known for its loyal customer base and deep community roots, Cannons has long been recognized for its award-winning service and dedication to quality.
“When legacies merge, customers win.” said Mike Brimer, CEO of Ingman Marine. “Together, Ingman Marine and Cannons Marina bring more than 135 years of combined history. That means unmatched expertise, trusted service, and award-winning partnership with Grady-White — all continuing for generations to come.”
Family-owned and operated for four generations, Ingman Marine is a top-ranked Grady-White and Yamaha dealer with four locations across Florida. Known for integrity, technical expertise, and dedication to service, the Ingman family has built a trusted legacy — soon to be expanded with Cannons Marina, in continued partnership with Grady-White Boats.
