NMMA Recognizes 54 Boat and Engine Manufacturers with Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index Awards

| Miami Boat Show

The NMMA announced today 54 recipients of the 2018 Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Awards for excellence in customer satisfaction. Award recipients were acknowledged this morning during the Innovation Breakfast at the 2019 Progressive® Insurance Miami International Boat Show®, presented by West Marine.

The Marine Industry CSI Awards honor boat and engine manufacturers who actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve their customers. Award recipients achieved an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past program year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018.  Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period. For this reporting period, the program surveyed 155,418 customers.

“The manufacturers honored here today illustrate the commitment it takes to provide unparalleled service to their customers and have created a culture of excellence in customer satisfaction,” noted Robert Newsome, senior vice president of strategy, engineering standards and membership for NMMA. “The 2018 CSI Award winners have proven that dedication to their customers builds brand loyalty and helps to foster lifelong boat ownership, maintaining the integrity of the U.S. recreational boating industry.”
