Graham Chavoustie
Owner
Graham studied business law and marketing at Liberty University and immediately jumped into the boating world starting his own boat brokerage business at the age of 18. Growing up working in his families marine center businesses helped him understand the boating world from an owner/operators perspective, giving him an edge in this field. Graham is an avid boater, private pilot, and has a deep sense of adventure that always brings him back to The Thousand Islands where he will always call home.
In 2024, he proudly acquired Horizon Marine Sales from his father, Mike Chavoustie, continuing the legacy his father started over 50 years earlier. Having spent his entire life immersed in the boating industry, Graham is dedicated to providing the Thousand Islands region with a truly one-of-a-kind boating experience that only Summerland can offer. Specializing in the acquisition and sale of premium boats, Graham has achieved hundreds of successful transactions and millions of dollars in volume, and most importantly, hundreds of happy customers.
“Helping people get out on the water and explore new places, enjoy their favorite coves, and truly reset is my passion. Growing up on The River, I’ve found there truly nothing like a life on the water. I hope to help as many people have a positive experience on the water as possible, and that all starts with the boat you’ll be exploring on.”
