When you visit Cove 2 Coast Marine on Lanier Islands Parkway, you’ll find some familiar folks. Long-time Lanier boat dealer Larry Sosnow is now vice president of Cove 2 Coast Marine.
“Bringing Larry into the Cove 2 Coast family of boat dealerships with our expansion to Lake Lanier makes good sense,” said Troy Baird, owner of the network of Cove 2 Coast locations in South Carolina and Georgia. “We’ve built our business on our family’s reputation and Larry and his family will be the main presence at the Lanier location.”
Baird purchased his two Cove 2 Coast Marine dealership in 2019 in South Carolina and since that time has built the business to seven dealerships across two states: South Carolina in Sumter, Moncks Corner, Charleston, Leesville and Columbia and in Georgia at Lake Lanier and Richmond Hill/Savannah.
At the Lanier boating center, the company offers new and used boats, and brokerage boats. Cove 2 Coast sells Sea Fox Boats center console pleasure and fishing boats, as well as Tahoe Pontoons.
Located on the former American Boat Brokers 2-acre property on Lanier Islands Parkway, Cove 2 Coast Marine has a complete 5,000-square-foot service department.
“While we’ll service all makes and models of boats, our priority will be to first service our owners and customers,” Sosnow said. “If you buy a boat from us, you’ll go to the front of the line in service.”
“The goal is to get our customers back on the water as quickly as possible,” Sosnow said. “Rather than be a service shop that sells boats, we are a sales center that provides service.”
The company will be at the Atlanta Boat Show at the Georgia World Congress Center, Hall C with two exhibition spaces from January 9-12. They will also participate in this spring’s in-the-water Lake Lanier Boat Show at Margaritaville.
“Family is important to us and to our customers,” Sosnow said. “My wife Sharon will have an administrative role and our daughter Nicole will be involved in our sales and marketing. When you come to the dealership, at least one of us will be on the premises.”
Cove 2 Coast Marine Lake Lanier is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is also open by appointment seven days a week.
