Since 1979

Al’s Specialty Marine

Al and Marge Bruggenthies established Al’s Specialty Marine in 1979 after working for Nietz Electric/Marine. In 1986 we built our current building and in 2021 expanded our service shop to better serve our customers.

We have prided ourselves on the great brands we sell such as Lund, Ranger, Ranger pontoons and Mercury motors. In 2001 Joe and Greg bought Al and Marge out and continue to grow the business.

In 2019 we became a third generation business as Ryan became a partner with Joe and Greg. We employ approximately 15 full-time employees to help run our marine business. We love being a family oriented business and look forward to meeting your boating needs!

Most strongly recommended! I purchased a used boat/motor/trailer set up from them and had a fantastic experience. Herb was patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. I appreciated that he took time to explain the boat operation and details during delivery. It was well worth the trip to Rochester!

I think it was the owner that overheard me asking for parts. He knew the part numbers of the parts I needed for an 85 Evinrude. I did the same with GM parts when I was in automotive. That’s a mind to be admired. Nearly impossible to find now days.

Ordered a hard to find part. Dawn was fantastic at finding it and shipping it out quickly. She provided great customer service/support, want to make sure she is recognized and appreciated. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Took our boat out on Lake Zumbro and ran into Joe from Al’s Shop. Joe went above and beyond to direct us to the shop to get our missing plug. Saved us a whole lake day! Highly recommend this shop to anybody looking around. Great products, better people!

Highly recommended. Had terrific experience with them. Greg took our boat in the day we called after it had been flooded. He managed contact with adjuster from insurance company and kept us informed through the whole process. They are reasonably priced and extremely reliable. Hats off to Greg and the crew at Al’s Specialty Marine.

When I bought my boat at Al’s, Caleb was my salesman, he made sure to make financing painless and easy! He took the time to answer any and all questions regarding my boat and was available even after the purchase if I had questions. Good honest people with a family feel! Will definitely be back for my next boat purchase!

I have been dealing with Ryan for 2 years now looking for a used boat. I live almost 2 hours away and it was worth the drive. He stayed in contact with me and most importantly stayed patient with me through the buying process. He has

I called and spoke with a salesperson to discuss air ride seats for my boat. Was instructed to call in a few weeks because they would have displays on the floor. Sure enough as stated they had a display so I made the drive. When I got there

Came in with my boat today around 4:45pm. They took time out of their day to help me on the spot to fix my faulty trolling motor. They also gave me the equipment needed to change lower unit gear oil myself. I will be back, great people and great service.

What a great business! I had a damaged axle, thought it may need to be replaced. They could have done that for me, but they (Greg) determined it could be repaired. Gave me info of the place nearby that could get it done. That’s true

We recently bought a pre-owned pontoon from Al’s. Terry was so helpful as was the owner of Al’s (sorry…can’t remember his name). They went above and beyond to borrow us a trailer and made sure everything was perfect until we pulled it out of the parking lot. I would definitely buy another boat from them! Thanks for all of your service.

Can”t find a better dealer in the state of MN. Cory is one of the best Mercury Technicians I know. Terry and Joe in sales make you feel like you are part of their family. They have sold me every boat I have owned.
