Annapolis Boat Sales Family

Walter George
President
Name Walter George
Title President
Do what you love and never work a day in your life; I am a prime example of this saying. Boating is an obsession that stems from my childhood.
Boating was a way for me to spend time with my family. My father worked two jobs so time was limited, but when Sunday would come, we were on the boat. Because boating was a very personal connection, it lit the fire for me to make it a career. I started painting, detailing, and working on boats at a local marina at the age of 13. From there, I started my retail career at Boat U.S. where I worked as a stock boy. Then I was a cashier, then became a parts manager, and finally a corporate buyer.
The boating industry and people are the passions or obsessions that fuel my fire. I don't want to do things the same way everyone has in this industry; I want to innovate and change things for the better.

Hunter Coppell
Sales Representative
Name Hunter Coppell
Title Sales Representative
Hunter grew up on Middle River in Essex MD, the water has not only been a passion but a part of his life. He remembers the day he brought home his first boat, a J14 Carolina Skiff powered by a Yamaha 25hp. That’s where it all started and right then he knew he wanted to make a life on the water. Throughout high school and college Hunter worked as a dock hand and as a mate on different fishing boats. After finishing school he knew exactly what he wanted, as boating has been such a huge part of his life. With that, there’s no better way to share my experience than selling boats and guiding people into this lifestyle. He has since upgraded from my J14 Skiff a few times over, and currently owns a Steiger Craft 26 Miami. He spends his free time leisurely fishing as well as tournament fishing for striped bass in the Chesapeake, and offshore fishing out of Ocean City MD. Hunter says "I feel blessed to do what I do and share this lifestyle with upcoming new boaters as well as avid boaters".

Along with his epic driving skills Vincy has a magnetic personality and you instantly like him. He also holds a Yamaha Certificate but heads up our transportation department.
