About & Finance
Family-owned, lake-tested, and committed to making your boat-buying experience as easy as a day on the water.
About Carefree Boat Sales
Carefree Boat Sales is your headquarters for Monterey Elite Boats, Blackfin, Godfrey, Hurricane, and Sailfish Boats. With two convenient locations — Lake Lanier, GA and Lake Norman, NC — we stock the brands you love and the models you want, backed by a team that lives and breathes boating.
We're not just a dealership. We spend serious time on the water testing our TriToons for peak performance, hosting large-scale performance testing events with engine manufacturers and prop companies, and producing detailed walk-through videos so you can shop from home. When you're ready to buy, we invite you to come in for a full demo before you commit — because we believe in the complete buying experience.
Every customer also gets access to our free Water Safety Class, because we want you to enjoy your boat with confidence from day one.
