In 1986, Bill
Talley started his business, with the help of his wife Sara on
Statesville Road off of I-77’s exit 28. Bill opened what he thought
would be an auto dealership and repair shop for specialty
collectors’ cars. After a friend noticed the site's great visibility,
he asked if he could put a few small boats on the lot to see if they
would sell. The boats took off faster than the cars and the Talleys
started selling boats.
After selling a variety of boats, the
Talley’s decided in 2002 to become an Exclusive Regal dealer. While
working with Regal they noticed similarities with their own
company. Paul Kuck started Regal in 1969 and, today, it is still run
by the Kuck family. Like Regal, Talley’s is a family run business.
Bill serves as the President, Sara handles the accounting side
of the business, and while son Billy acts as the Vice-President of the
company, handling everything from advertising to sales.
While Regal builds high quality
boats, customer satisfaction is key for both Regal and Talley's Pier
77 Marine. Regal is the recipient of 5 J.D. Power and
Associates awards and 19 Nation Marine Manufacture Association
Customer Service awards. Recently Talley’s was awarded Regal's first place award for
Exceptional Service and Commitment to Customer Satisfaction among
150 Regal dealers in 45 countries around the world.
With two service facilities at their
Statesville Road lot and at Kings Point Marine, both feature
certified technicians with years of experience. Talley's Pier 77
Marine is the largest Regal dealer in North Carolina and is one of
the worlds largest Exclusive Regal dealers world wide.
