A Knot Above the Rest

“We have seen a great increase in traffic to our web site and social media platforms, resulting in more direct contact with potential customers and boat buyers. This exposure that Wilmington Design Company has created for us has made such a positive impact on our business, and we are very grateful for all their efforts. Our only regret is that we did not come to them sooner!” – Chris Jones
