Centurion and Supreme Dealer Century Marine to Celebrate 45th Anniversary

(November 8, 2024) Mesa, AZ-Century Marine, a family-owned boating dealership with deep roots in the Arizona watersports community, is thrilled to invite the public to its 45th Anniversary Celebration on November 15, 2024.

Guests can enjoy exclusive anniversary discounts on new models, exciting giveaways, and the chance to view the latest 2025 Centurion and Supreme boat models.

The celebration honors Bruce and Janet Bosley, who founded Century Marine in 1979, guided by a passion for boating, family, and honest, dedicated customer service. Today, the dealership is the longest-established boat dealership in Arizona’s East Valley, having earned a reputation for integrity and building lasting relationships with generations of boaters.

• Exclusive Evening Festivities: From 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, visitors can enjoy food, games, and a range of giveaways. Prizes include a Centurion Grizzly cooler, backpacks, hats, tubes, and boards. Attendees will have a chance to win without any purchase necessary.

Reflecting on Century Marine’s history, President Melanie Bosley Bloomfield expressed gratitude for the dealership’s loyal customers, many of whom are now second-generation Century Marine customers who continue to keep family memories alive on the water. One of their loyal customers recently purchased a 2024 Centurion Fi25 after growing up on his father’s 1994 Ski Centurion, also purchased from the Century Marine dealership.

“We have a strong dedication to our customers and our goal has always been to keep them and their families on the water. To us, being on the water is the best family activity there is. As close as our family is, and this being a family-owned business, we want to share that with others,” said Melanie.

Century Marine’s success is rooted in the Bosleys’ commitment to customer service and a love for all things watersports. With Bruce’s engineering skills and Janet’s creativity, the family worked tirelessly alongside friends and community members, building a legacy that has spanned four decades.

Gerry Oppliger, Western Sales Manager for Centurion & Supreme boats, shares his excitement for Century Marine noting their steadfast dedication to their customers.

“Their knowledgeable sales staff goes above and beyond for their customers before, during, and after the sale to make sure the customer is taken care of. With their takeover of sales and service at Lake Pleasant, Century Marine can now provide an even better experience for their customers all around the Phoenix area,” Oppliger shares.

Looking Ahead: Century Marine aims to continue fostering family connections, adventure, and community through boating for many years to come. With their “small business, big heart” spirit, Century Marine is ready to expand their customer base while honoring the reputation built by the Bosleys.

All are welcome to attend this exciting anniversary event and be part of a celebration that honors the past, celebrates the present, and looks forward to the future.
