STACER has recognised the outstanding achievements of its national dealer network, announcing
the 2025–26 Dealer of the Year Award winners celebrating excellence, performance, and commitment across every touchpoint of the customer journey.
The awards program begins by recognising emerging excellence through the Best New Dealer
category, before honouring top-performing dealerships across each state. From these state winners, one standout dealer is ultimately crowned National Dealer of the Year, representing the very best of the Stacer network.
Each dealership is assessed across a comprehensive range of criteria that reflect not just sales
success, but the full dealership experience. This includes sales performance, adherence to branding standards, and the overall presentation of the dealership environment. Staff professionalism, product knowledge, and the quality of customer interactions play a critical role, alongside the effectiveness of product displays and stock management.
Beyond the showroom, dealerships are evaluated on their ability to deliver a seamless handover
experience and provide outstanding aftersales and warranty support.
From a competitive field, Stacer announce the 2025–26 award winners:
The 2025 National Stacer Dealer of the Year was awarded to Blakes Marine in Sydney.
Lee Blake of Blakes Marine reflected on the recognition, noting that representing Stacer for over 14
years from their Sydney showroom has been a journey built on consistency, strong customer
relationships, and a shared commitment to delivering quality on the water.
“The award is a testament to the team’s dedication and their passion for helping customers get the most out of their boating experience,” said Blake.
Drew Jackson, ANZ Commercial Manager, said “the awards go far beyond strong sales performance, recognising the dealerships that truly bring the Stacer brand to life. It’s about the teams who consistently deliver great customer experiences, represent the brand to the highest standard, and share our commitment to making boating more accessible, more enjoyable, and more memorable for Australians everywhere.
