MN Inboard is the best. They exceeded expectations with the sale, delivery and service of our boat. I also love to see how much they invest into the community through non-profits, youth sports and being a stand up family focused business. THE best!

Beyond thankful for MNInboards! Kody, Jordan and Sally are phenomenal people! Would highly recommend this place for a new or a used boat! We are all the way from Michigan and they definitely made the place feel like home. Kody, thank you for the hospitality at your place for the weekend! Cannot thank everyone enough!

Great experience with this dealer. I personally worked with Sara Mueller and Joe Gunter. Both responded quickly, followed up on what we had discussed and made the process of buying a boat as smooth as possible. No small feet when we're dealing across the continent and in different countries. I would definitely recommend this dealership.

Unbelievable service! We have bought two Malibu s over the past seven years. Matt, Dan and Josh are Amazing to work with. Fast, efficient, kind, and fun! At MN inboard they make you feel like family. We had a couple issues with our second boat and within 48 hours we had everything fixed and back on the water- no charge. Highly recommend!

We received Top Notch service from the first time we stepped foot in the door at MN Inboard right up until they dropped our new boat in the water and this has continued with personal follow ups to this day. I cannot say enough Great things about Dan Malone and all the quality folks who make you feel like family at MN Inboard. We love our Malibu boat and all the wonderful memories we have made. Looking forward to many more...

We built and ordered our Axis A24 working with Dan M at Minnesota Inboard. We had SO many questions which Dan was happy to answer. Since then we have used their winterizing services and purchased boards, ropes and jackets. At each interaction they provided exceptional customer service. Products (especially the boat) are high quality too. We couldn t be happier!

MN Inboard is awesome. Had the pleasure to purchase a boat from them, our sales person, Adam, was also great, thoughtful, responsive and no pressure. Delivery of boat, orientation, ongoing scheduled services, accessories, and everything else is wonderful. Would NOT hesitate to purchase from them again and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a new boat.

We recently took on water delivery of our 2021 Axis A24 from MN Inboard on Lake Minnetonka. Dan, Joe, Adam (Fletch), and the entire team at MN Inboard have been a pleasure to work with from day one back in September of 2020. This is our first wake boat experience and they have made it fun and memorable for our entire family. We have been educated on the boat, water sports gear, surf lesson options, docking/slip options and everything in between. I anticipate lots of questions coming up as our boating season kicks off and I have no doubt the MN Inboard team will be there to help us along the way. I can t think of a better sales/service experience for such a big decision and process. I highly recommend MN inboard if you are an experienced boater or going through the process for the first time. They are experts in their field, fun to be around, have lots of energy, and are easy to contact. Our entire family is excited to get on the water because of our experience so far. Bring on summer !

This is the 2nd Axis Boat we purchased from MN Inboard. Our first was a 2017 A20. Today, we took delivery of our 2021 A22. MN Inboard has been awesome to work with. From Jordan and Cody on the Sales side to Rich for Service to Matt as the owner. All have been friendly, professional, respectful and helpful. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a great experience from the time you begin looking to the day you take delivery to having them take care of you and the boat after the purchase.Their team is awesome to do business with and they treat you like family.

MN Inboard is second to none and has brought our family exceptional stress free fun! As a new Axis owner, you certainly want the right partner to help you navigate. Joe Gunter and the team has held true to his word years later that he and the entire team will maintain the relationship with you to make sure your needs are always met. We Utilize both Baxter and Excelsior sales and service and they are equally responsive and knowledgeable.Perhaps other brands and shops are just as good, but no need to find out as you won t be disappointed with MN Inboard!!

Consistently go above and beyond to ensure issues are resolved as quickly as possible. They deal with a high volume of customers and boats but you wouldn t know it from the service experience. Not all boat dealerships are created equal!

These guys are awesome. We just bought our third boat with them and it has always been a great experience. Joe sold us our last boat and he was awesome to work with. I just wish I could get some wicked air like he does. Adam and Dan are also awesome guys and have helped me out on many occasions. Everybody knows my name and loves Watersports as much as I do. You really can t go wrong. Plus, they sell Axis and Malibu, the greatest boats on the water. So if you want to be more epic in every way, by all means give MN inboard a visit.

I purchased an Axis T22 and 4 surf boards from MN Inboard. I also have my boat stored and winterized at their New Germany facility. Dan Malone sold me my boat, but I have worked with Matt, Fletch and Joe. MN Inboard sells awesome boats and the best watersport accessories, but it is the service and expertise that keeps me coming back. I have a Malibu dealer 20 miles from my cabin, but I trailer my boat 150 miles to have Matt's team in New Germany service and store it, because of the service! MN Inboard has the best service I have ever experienced. It starts when you walk in the door and a year later I am still receiving the same service/attention. BUY FROM MN INBOARD!!

I purchased a 22MXZ, and my experience with MN Inboard was over the top. They made purchasing a boat very simple and just flat out fun. The staff is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and make you feel welcome every time you walk in the store. Any questions or issues you may have the staff is easy to get ahold of and get everything answered or taken care of very quickly. It not just customer/salesman relationships with this crew, they are very involved with events, community, and customer appreciation. They have meet ups on lakes, demo boat days on lakes, which gives someone a lot of chances to find the right boat model for them. I feel very confident that a new customer would have no issues choosing to purchase a boat through MN Inboard, and I would recommend them every time.

Matt and the staff at MN Inboard know the Malibu product inside and out. They have amazing sales and service support after you make the purchase. They stand behind the brand and deliver exceptional service. It has been said before but they treat you like family. We have really enjoyed working with them and plan to continue buying our boats from them in the future. #malibuforlife

My Husband and I just picked up our Malibu Wakesetter from Minnesota Inboards in Excelsior. Adam "Fletch", Dan, Kody, Hunter and the whole sales team were extremely helpful and answered a lot of our questions. Very Professional, full of information, very passionate about their jobs, and you can tell! Matt, you have an amazing Team. This was the first and last stop that we made in our quest for our first boat purchase. We did not shop around, barter price, etc. Put a deposit down on a boat that was actually at their Baxter location, site unseen. That was the trust that we had with them and with Adam. They spent a lot of time with us both before and after our purchase to make sure we were fully comfortable with the boat. We couldn't have asked for better weather for our test drive. I HIGHLY recommend Minnesota Inboard Water Sports if you are looking to buy a Malibu or Axis boat. Top Notch! Thank you for making our first boat experience extremely easy! See you on the Lake!

Cannot say enough about the MN Inboard experience. From the moment I walked in the staff was very helpful and professional but I did not feel pressured. My first time was to purchase gear to wake surf which I new nothing about. The knowledge about all the different options was incredible and they actually made it fun to spend my $$$. When our family finally decided to buy our first Malibu and I was dealing with the Mueller family it became evident where the passion came from with there employees. I think I can speak for all of their customers that we all become a part of the MN Inboard family. There are a lot of options out there to purchase incredible boats but the customer service months and years after buying our Malibu is amazing. You are never forgotten and as a bonus our family is in the number 1 water sports boat in the industry.Thank You Mueller family and see you at the Boat Show !

All of the team at MN Inboard are great to work with. They were as excited for us when we bought our first pre-owned boat as they were when we bought our new Axis last year. Bottom line, they treat you like a valued customer whether you are buying a $20,000 boat or a $100,000 boat. We visit often for pro shop merchandise and Joe is a blast to visit. He knows exactly what we need to have fun on the water. Joe is conscious of the fact that we have 4 kids so he tries to outfit us with versatile boards that will work for more than one kid. The service department is excellent, always knowing how to keep the fun uninterrupted. When we buy another boat we will only buy from MN Inboard...because they re family!

Every interaction I have ever had with any of the Minnesota Inboard staff has been outstanding! Even after the purchase of our boat they still go out of there way to make sure their customers are taken care of and those are the type of businesses I enjoy doing business with! Thank you to the entire MN Inboard family for all you guys have done, and helping me make some amazing memories out on the water!

One of the best buying experiences! Adam was great. We were first time buyers and his guidance and advice over the 4 month process was greatly appreciated. The entire staff made us feel extremely comfortable during the entire process. If you re planning to buy a new ski/wake boat, no need to go anywhere else!

This is the second boat we bought from MN Inboard and couldn t have been happier with our experience. Joe is the most down to earth, pressure free sales rep. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk into the store until the moment you put your boat in the water. We are honored to be part of the MN Inboard family.

I've worked with MN inboard and the Mueller family for the last 15 years regarding my boating needs. Their dedication to providing quality service and follow up has been outstanding. If any issues ever arose regarding product, they have always been customer advocates. The family centric atmosphere and attention to detail have made me a repeat customer. I recommend them without reservation.

Mn Inboard was great to deal with on the purchase of our Malibu 22 LSV. We walked into the store with no forewarning and they treated use like family from the beginning. The entire process from picking out the model to the configuration was excellent! Kody, Sally, Mike, Sara and all the great people there are fun and easy to work with! I highly recommend MN Inboard and am excited to do business with them for a very long time!

I recently bought a Malibu wakeboat from Minnesota Inboards in Excelsior, MN (January 2017). Adam Fletcher and the whole sales team was extremely helpful and answered a lot of our 'stupid questions' up front. Very courteous, professional, fair, and accommodating. They spent a lot of time with us both before and after our purchase to make sure we were fully comfortable with the boat. I definitely recommend them if you are looking to buy a Malibu or Axis boat.

I would say if you need a boat but the fact is we all do! From beginning to end, this has been the best customer experience I could ask for. They answered all of my questions, met and exceeded my expectations and I m the hero of my family because this will be the best summer of our lives.

I have purchased 2 boats now with MN Inboards and would highly recommend to anyone! I built a boat with Kody last fall and he kept in the loop through the whole process. Our new Malibu turned out better then we imagined, thanks again!
