Tried renting a pontoon boat for my birthday and they texted my cell around 8:30 at night to see…read morehow often I've driven boats. Never had this kind of experience before when renting cars, boats, jet skis, etc - they usually ask on the website (which they did and I answered) or they ask when we get there. They then proceed to tell my I need a boating safety certificate since I'm born in 1988, not before. I instead, give them my friends info who was born in 1985 and said she will drive. They really texted her at 9pm on a Wednesday night and started asking her about her boating experience. It was odd to say the least. At 11:15pm they email me and tell me that they have decided not to approve my request for a boat. It was a weirdest, most unprofessional experience I've had trying to rent any type of equipment like this. I'd avoid them and go with nicer, cheaper alternatives.

We recently purchased a boat from Talley's Pier 77 Marine, and I cannot recommend them highly…read moreenough. Honestly, when we walked in, we had zero expectations of buying from them. We were already set on a different boat at a different place, but so many people kept telling us to check out Talley's that we finally decided to go--more out of due diligence than anything else. That decision changed everything. The first person who greeted us was Billy, the owner himself. He spent a long time with us, not trying to "sell," but genuinely educating us about boats in a way that was actually enjoyable and easy to understand. Shortly after, we met Taylor, our salesman, who was equally patient, friendly, and never pushy. He walked us through the two boats we were considering, answered every question we had (and we had a lot!), and took us outside to see them in person. When we mentioned wanting to grab lunch to think it over, Billy insisted that anytime you buy a boat, you should be able to test drive it. That was something no one else had ever told us. True to his word, Taylor met us later that afternoon at Ramsey Park and gave us a full test drive. That was the moment we knew--we had found our boat. The customer service didn't stop there. When the boat was delivered, Tommy spent the entire afternoon with us--from 1:00 until after 5:00--going over every detail. He walked us through how to use the boat, anchor, navigate safely, and even took us out on the water to practice. As first-time boat owners, that level of hands-on training was invaluable. Within one afternoon, I felt more confident about our boat than I do about my own car. Our boat is mechanically sound, looks brand new, and came with the peace of mind of a warranty--something that mattered a lot to us. And on top of all that, it checked every box: comfortable for my 85-year-old mother-in-law, beautiful on the water, and easy to handle. We asked a thousand questions along the way, and every single one was answered with patience and care. What really stood out, though, is how much they made us feel like family. They reassured us that if we ever needed help--whether it was a question, a breakdown, or just getting comfortable with the boat--they were only a phone call away, even giving us personal cell numbers. Who does that anymore? If I had to come up with a one recommendation, it would be this: they need a merch store. They did send us home with a Regal hat (which we love), but a Talley's T-shirt or sweatshirt would be amazing--because after this experience, we'd wear it proudly everywhere. We never planned to buy from Talley's, but after this experience, we'll never buy from anywhere else and if you needed a sign you need a boat, this is it. Thank you, Billy, Taylor, and Tommy, and all of the staff, for going above and beyond!

Purchasing a Boat can be a very stressful experience, especially for a first time boat buyer. When…read moremy wife and I first started doing research on brands through watching countless videos and reading different websites, it's clear that there are many great boat manufacturers that are out there in the market to suite the different buyer needs. However, the one thing that is certain is that not all all dealers who carry those boat are the same when it comes to professionalism and service. We had 3 brands that we narrowed our search down to and began reaching out to those dealers asking high level questions about the inventory, their thoughts on the models we were interested in, and various other questions from storage to maintenance that extend far beyond the initial purchase. There was really only one salesperson who went above and beyond to make sure I felt good about investing my time in stopping by their dealership to take a look at the boat of interest. Ed Florentino Jr. sent me about a dozen videos and sound clips explaining the differences between options I've had questions about, engines, and even a clip about how to winterize the boat before I even confirmed a demo with him. I immediately confirmed my appointment with Ed and drove out to Charlotte with my wife for a test drive. The experience could not have continued to be better but it did. Ed spent a good 30 minutes understanding what we were looking to get out of boat ownership and what was important to us. He then invested another hour showing us the boat and letting us get a feel for the Regal LS2. At no point did he try to sell us the boat we were on but just continued to ask questions and listen to our answer - if you're in the profession of selling you can appreciate this very much. Sara and Sharma were wonderful to work with providing insight and flexibility into the financing and answering additional questions for us as well. We were in and out of financing/paper work in no time. On our delivery day, Ed spent a good 5+ hours with us going over towing a boat, launching/retrieval, to docking. As new owners who were initially nervous and excited, I can't thank Ed for the time he spent with us to make sure we felt comfortable with our new boat and ensure that our first experience as boat owners was positive. To Ed and the staff at Talley's Pier 77... we can't thank you enough. There was something that Ed said that really stuck with me... " My job as a salesperson begins after the sale". I firmly believe that Talley's Pier and Ed live by those words, and while our next boat purchase is far out, we do know where we will turn when it's time for an upgrade!

The young woman who greeted us was friendly and gave great instructions on use of boat. We were a bit disappointed in the age of the boat. It was probably 10 years old and only had a 90 horse power engine and no depth finder (which is good to have if you plan to go into any coves or outlets). The boat was clean. I would recommend asking about horse power and age if you decide to rent from them. Price was comperable to Lake Norman Marina who we have used in the past.

This should be your very last option and only if you have a beater boat or just don't care. Don't put anything you care about at this marina or it will get destroyed. I wish I had been told that. Why, you ask? If you love parking your boat at a train wreck of a marina, where the docks are all falling apart, wood rot at every turn, rusted infrastructure, where everything is literally falling apart, this is the place for you! If you love deep scratches in your gel coat from extruded nails and rotten wood while getting in and out of your slip, even after installing bumpers and siding to prevent it at your own personal cost, this is the place for you! If you love seeing others install new boat lifts on slips after you have been lied to repeatedly that it was not allowed, this is the place for you! If you love spending weekends buffing scratches and bumper rash out of gel coat for the damage their docks do plus the added bonus of cleaning lake grime off the bottom of your boat, this is the place for you! If you enjoy being tossed by wake while trying to get in and out of a slip due their inability to install a barrier to stop wake like most marinas do on open channels, this is the place for you! If you like being harassed for parking even with proper tags showing on your vehicle, this is the place for you! If you like the inconvenience of not having a way to get your boat out of the water by yourself because there is no ramp available, this is the place for you! The manager of this marina was incredibly nice and helpful, all up until the point I had an issue and I needed it taken care of. After asking repeatedly to have the extruded nails and rotten wood replaced around my slip, letting them know of the damage it caused, they showed no interest in fixing the issue. All I got in return was excuses and justification. After I begged to put a lift in seeing that others had recently put in new lifts after I had been told no the year prior, he outright lied to my face. There was no professionalism or understanding. No customer service at all. Just a defensive, good ole boy that couldn't take accountability for any mistakes or harm done to my property. This last season, I paid for the year, left after 4 months if that tells you anything. STAY AWAY - You have been warned.
