Supra_Boats is being recognized for outstanding customer service again this year with the 2012 Marine Industry CSI Award from NMMA.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) announced Supra Boats as a recipient of the 2012 Marine Industry CSI Award. That makes it 7 years in a row for this luxury performance wake boat brand. Supra Boats was recognized individually for excellence in customer satisfaction, as part of NMMA’s Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) program.
Supra Boats will be acknowledged during the annual Industry Breakfast at the 2012 International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Marine Industry CSI Awards program honors participating manufacturers that actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve the customer. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012. Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period. For this reporting period, the program surveyed more than 32,000 consumers.
“We are extremely proud to receive this award seven years in a row, but the real reward, for us, is the strong customer relationships and loyalty the Supra brand enjoys,” explains Rick Tinker, President of Skier’s Choice. “We have a great group in place who pride themselves in working as a team to serve the customer completely.”

The exclusive power plant for Supra Boats, Indmar Marine Engines, earned this coveted customer service award in the engine manufacturer segment as well.
“It is an honor to recognize these manufacturers for their outstanding focus on the creation of quality products and an enjoyable customer experience,” notes Terry Leitz, NMMA’s director of CSI programs. “Recipients of the CSI Awards are leading the recreational boating industry forward by ensuring feedback from their customers is an integral part of their planning and manufacturing functions.”
