Legendary Marine Expands Its Five Star Military VIP Program

to Panama City and Gulf Shores, AL Markets

September 8, 2011, Destin, FL - Legendary Marine, the Gulf Coast's largest boat dealership, recently launched its first official military marketing program in Destin and Ft. Walton Beach, and has now expanded the Five Star Military VIP Program to include its Panama City, FL and Gulf Shores, AL dealerships. Each dealership offers a unique military marketing package based on its facilities.

The exclusive new military marketing program for both Panama City and Gulf Shores provides special promotional incentives for both active duty and retired military personnel including a mix of new boat sales, service and parts discounts, special boat storage discounts in affiliation with Coastal Marina Management properties including Lighthouse Marina in Panama City Beach and The Wharf Marina in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, as well as access to special boat educational/training programs and internet offers via www.legendarymarine.com An official VIP card and services flyer is available to qualifying members of the military through any of the dealership's four locations. 

In addition, Legendary Marine has chosen two Panhandle-based military organizations to support as part of its military marketing outreach initiatives. For every new boat sold to military from any of the four Gulf Coast dealership locations, Legendary Marine donates $100 to the new boat buyer's choice of either Fisher House or Bob Hope Enlisted Village, both of which support military families in need.

"We have been very pleased by the initial response to our military marketing effort in the Destin and Ft. Walton Beach markets and look forward to broadening the reach and coverage to our Panama City and Gulf Shore dealerships," said Legendary Marine Managing Partner Fred Pace. "We very much appreciate the service of our military men and women and are enthusiastic about providing opportunities to help them and their families enjoy valuable time together on the water. There is no better place in North America to go boating than the Gulf Coast, and we are happy to help facilitate this much-deserved recreational pastime."

Added Coastal Marina Management's Vice President of Operations Chris Miller, "We are pleased to partner with Legendary Marine in the Panama City and Gulf Shores markets and are very supportive of these military marketing efforts. Our team at these two marina facilities very much looks forward to participating in the Five Star Military VIP program."
