About Soo Sports at Vern Eide Marine in Sioux Falls, SD

Your Sioux Falls Destination for Boats, Pontoons & Marine Service

For more than 60 years, the Vern Eide name has stood for honesty, integrity, and exceptional customer care in the Sioux Falls region. Built on a foundation of trust that began in the early 1960s, the Vern Eide philosophy — known as the Eide Effect — continues to guide every part of our business today, including the marine industry.

Vern Eide Marine brings that same customer-first commitment to the water, offering one of the region’s strongest selections of boats, pontoons, tritoons, fishing boats, and marine service — all backed by a legacy that spans six decades.

Our History: Over 60 Years of the Eide Effect

The story of Vern Eide begins more than six decades ago, when the original Vern Eide Motorcars location opened its doors and redefined how customers were treated in the automotive market. That philosophy grew into a culture, a reputation, and a promise:
Treat every customer the way we would want to be treated.

That same approach inspired the launch of a dedicated marine division.

The Beginning of Vern Eide Marine — 2021

In January 2021, Vern Eide expanded into boating with the opening of Vern Eide Marine on East Arrowhead Parkway in Sioux Falls. Demand was immediate — the very first boat sold within 30 minutes of opening day.

Since then, Vern Eide Marine has become a trusted destination for anglers, families, and lake lovers across South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska.
