To walk around this place and see the size of it, it's offerings and the number of vessels there, you'd think they wouldn't give me the time of day or even know that I or my little boat existed. Couldn't be further from the truth. Anytime I call and say my first name and that I have the little Chris, they know who I am and Tom (and the other Tom) are always more than willing to do whatever I need (living in California now). When Sandy hit, I was petrified that my boat was lost. She was safely tucked away and again, when I called they knew just what to say. I've recently had my boat hauled to the west coast and upon leaving, Tom made a lap around the marina to make sure that nothing was left behind from her various storage locations and the machine shop. I can't recommend these guys enough, nor can I imagine what kind of service someone would receive if they had a sizable and operational vessel in a slip! If you're looking, McDaniels is the ONLY place to consider.

I was looking to purchase a small outboard motor and saw good reviews for Yamaha engines. Seeing…read moreAnchor Boats selling them I called to inquire about their inventory. I wanted a 2.5 HP motor and was told they had one in stock. I said I'd be there the next day. I drove to their location near US Route 40 and entered their showroom. I stood around for about 15 minutes before someone asked if I was being helped. Glad to finally have my presence acknowledged I asked for help. After finalizing the purchase I was directed to their marina south of town to pick up the motor. The salesman called ahead to let them know I was coming. I got to the marina and entered the store area. I again had to wait 15 minutes before someone offered to help me. The motor I got wound up not being ready for use. After putting on a small sailboat it wouldn't keep running. After going fo ra couple minutes it would surge and stall. This happened about ten times as I paddled the boat back to shore in 95 degree weather. I suffered heat exhaustion as a result. The next day I put the motor on a jon boat and tried again. Again it kept stalling. I viewed a You Tube video about the motor to insure I was starting it correctly but it kept stalling. After about an hour it finally stayed running. The Anchor technician omitted a couple of steps involved in starting the motor. Even after watching the instructional video the engine was very difficult to get going. Their total indifference to helping customers was very off putting. I won't do business there again.

We purchased a brand-new Axis A225 built to order. The day we picked it up, it was overcast and raining, making it difficult to thoroughly inspect the boat. Had we been able to see it clearly, we would not have accepted delivery. The cosmetic issues were extensive. The gel coat had significant imperfections and metallic overspray throughout the boat. The passenger-side seat backrest was visibly uneven and wavy. There were scratches, cracks in the Surf Gate caused by overtightened screws (which were never properly repaired), and the boat arrived with the wrong swim platform. We paid for upgrades that were either missing or incorrectly installed, including the Power Wedge, which had to be replaced because it was damaged during installation. Getting these issues addressed was an uphill battle. We were repeatedly dismissed and treated as though our concerns were unreasonable. At one point, a technician asked my husband, "Is this your first boat?" My husband was raised on a marina, and we've owned multiple boats. We know the difference between normal imperfections and unacceptable workmanship. Throughout the following season, the shaft seal leaked continuously, causing the bilge pumps to cycle regularly. Before the next season, we brought the boat to Chessie for service. We later learned the boat was never actually serviced. Some recall work was completed, but the scheduled service was not performed. The result was a terrifying experience on the water. While cruising on the river, alarms started sounding and every bilge pump activated. The boat was rapidly taking on water in over 150 feet of water while simultaneously overheating. Smoke was coming from the engine compartment, and I genuinely believed the boat was on fire. I called 911 because we thought we were going to sink. My husband ended up jumping into the water and helping get the boat to shore. I was taken home by the fire department while he waited for Sea Tow as a storm approached. We later learned the sea strainer had come completely loose and the shaft seal had failed again. Had the boat actually been serviced, these issues likely would have been identified before they nearly caused the boat to sink. Now we're dealing with another issue: a Wedge Drag Alarm. My husband followed every troubleshooting step provided by Chessie and was told to call back. After four follow-up calls, no one responded. Unfortunately, this lack of customer service has been consistent. When we were ready to place our order and bring a $40,000 deposit, we drove more than two hours to the dealership only to discover our appointment had effectively been forgotten because the salesperson was at a golf tournament. We spent approximately $150,000 on this boat. Instead of enjoying it, we've spent years dealing with manufacturing defects, installation errors, warranty repairs, service issues, safety concerns, and long periods without the boat. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend either Axis or Chessie Marine.
