Outstanding Boat Storage & Winterization - Above & Beyond Service!…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience storing my boat here! From the moment I first inquired, the manager was an absolute pleasure to deal with--knowledgeable, professional, and truly committed to making the entire process seamless. They didn't just offer storage; they provided peace of mind, which is exactly what every boat owner wants when entrusting their vessel to a facility for the winter. What truly sets them apart is their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. I was running behind on getting my boat properly covered before winter hit, and they noticed it before I even had a chance to worry about it. Instead of just letting my boat sit exposed to the elements, they took the initiative to ensure it was protected until I could get there--something I never expected but greatly appreciated. That level of care is rare in any business, let alone a storage facility! Beyond their incredible service, their pricing is unbeatable compared to other storage options in the area. There are no hidden fees or unnecessary add-ons--just straightforward, honest pricing for top-tier service. And when it comes to access, they make it effortless. Whenever I need to check on my boat or grab something from it, I never have any issues; they are always accommodating and make access simple. For anyone hesitant about storing their boat at a facility, I completely understand--security, exposure to the elements, and ease of access are always concerns. But this business checks every box: Secure, well-maintained facility - My boat was exactly as I left it, without a single worry about theft or damage. Winterization that goes the extra mile - They don't just offer storage; they make sure your boat is properly protected from harsh weather, saving you from costly damage in the long run. Customer-first approach - They notice the little things and take proactive steps to ensure your boat is cared for, even if you're not there to ask. Unmatched convenience - Whether it's storing, covering, or accessing my boat, they've made the entire process effortless. If you own a boat and need secure, reliable, and customer-focused storage, don't waste time looking anywhere else--this is the place to go! The level of service they provide is unmatched, and I will be recommending them to every boat owner I know. A huge thank you to the manager and the entire team for making this such a stress-free and outstanding experience. See you next season!

I have been a slip holder at Harbor Place Marina for about a decade…read moreIt wasn't the cheapest I could find but it was the closest to my house so the convenience factor offset the cost will never use Harbour place again 1-inaccurate invoicing. On Invoice # 1956WI I was billed for 5 gallons of antifreeze. I didn't authorize any winterization of the water system or head. I performed that myself. Initial thought was maybe the 5 gallons was poured atop the fluid I had already placed. and not being confrontational by nature I paid the invoice. Upon accessing the vessel in the spring of 2024 I found 5 gallons of RV antifreeze sitting in the aft cabin. could these be the 5 gallons I was invoiced for at $21.99 each? which I can get from walmart or amazon for less than $4.00 each. A 500% markup on a fluid never requested seems excessive. also tag placed on trailer by marina staff indicates no head or water system winterization was performed 2-"summerization" Marine personnel tried to upsell me "summarization" services. which included flushing water system of antifreeze , hooking up batteries, and providing and installing drain plug. My response was I can run faucets myself to flush the water system and other items were already included when placing the vessel into the slip by Harbour Place. Why would I pay for those items again? 3-inoperative tilt motor. marina personnel informed me that the tilt motor wasn't functioning and the outdrive was stuck in down position. I agree. the vessel is older and the Motor had been getting weaker, so It finally totally failing wasn't a surprise. What WAS a surprise is that I was informed of this issue after the boat was moved several times ( from lift to storage, can't say if it was moved to wrap it, and then from storage location to shop.) On its own trailer. Finally, I was informed that as a result of the failed tilt motor I would either have to get the motor replaced ( quoted at over $800 dollars) or pay additional fees to have the boat "carefully" moved from the shop to the lift point to avoid dragging/damaging the skag. Were all the other moves before now not careful? Boat was moved at least twice before ( lift to storage and storage to shop) no mention was ever made of the drive stuck tilt down. Finally was told there was an issue and it would be additional charges? 4-ship to shore cable Ever since we have had a vessel that uses a ship to shore cable, I have left that cable plugged in so batteries have the highest charge when marina personnel need to start the boat to navigate from the slip to the hoist point. Boat has a trickle charger that maintains Battery charge when supplied with shore power. Every previous season Harbor Place staff unplug the cable at both ends and throw the cable onto the vessels deck behind the cockpit. Not stowed below. just thrown on deck. OK, fine with me. This season when I first accessed the vessel the Ship to shore cable was no where to be found. It was not on the vessel's deck nor below . unsure if cable was left at dock and stolen by a third party, or if it was misplaced by staff, or something else, we will never know. Whatever the cause, the result is I now have to buy a new ship to shore cable. In addition, no longer offering onsite trailer storage to slip holder over the summer was an issue Haul out and put in HAD ALWAYS been performed by Harbor Place at no additional charge. I had presumed that put in and haul out were included with the slip rental. (which is why I figured there were less expensive slip rentals in the area) In all the years I had been at Harbor Place I was never invoiced or charged for put in or haul out. Call began cordially but when staff learned I had made other arrangements for wrapping and winter storage, tone seemed to change and I was informed haul out wasn't included in slip rental and I would have to pay for the service. When I questioned why those services had always been performed before at no additional charge previously and I was under the impression that those services were included in the slip rental I was told to "read the contract" I did. Yes the contact does not explicitly state haul out and put in are included with slip rental. But it also doesn't explicitly exclude those services either . Since Harbor Place performed those services at no additional charge since we became slip holders at the Marina, in my opinion, this established a standard of care and level of anticipated services a reasonable person would come to expect based on past history. I'm not a lawyer, only a dumb structural engineer licensed in 13 States, so I can't say if the contract language is airtight on this issue, but it is a moot point as we have made other arrangements going forward

Ted has no idea what he's doing and returned my boat to me in worse condition than I left it. Destroyed my fuel line, and didn't replace it (was in perfect working order when I dropped the boat off), parts and his trash were all over the boat when I picked it up. Quoted me a price for work and said they had to do more than expected but never called me to verify if I wanted to put more money into an old motor. When I questioned the price he accused me of "complaining" - Sorry dude - if you weren't a terrible mechanic, that takes a ridiculous amount of time, people wouldn't question your bills. Items were replaced and tampered with that didn't need to be. He is clearly price gouging and taking advantage of people. Changed all my spark plugs when they were brand new! Didn't like being called on his antics by me. He was rude, disrespectful, and legit vulgar when I picked up my boat. This dude is an absolute fraud and should not be in business. DO NOT take your boat here. I know options are limited in WNY - but literally go ANYWHERE but here. The place looks like a junkyard and you'll find your boat in a junkyard if you let this clown touch it. He has no idea what he's doing and this was the worst customer service experience I've ever had. Ted is a horrible human and his work represents the kind of person he is. He acts like an entitled idiot as if the customer owes him something. I will be contacting the BBB and filing a complaint as my boat was not anywhere closer to working order when it was returned and he doubled the original quoted bill... AND I had to clean up his trash. Absolute joke.
