In the end, I bought in Norfolk and shipped the boat to New England. HMB walked me through the whole process, followed up with with many phone calls. Communication and service was outstanding and I would definitely buy another boat from them.......Can't say enough about the experience Tim - East Greenwich, RI

I bought a Panga two years ago and found out I needed a different prop. I went to Murphy's and…read moretold them what I had and left out of there in minutes with the exact prop I needed for a real reasonable price. We've had the crappiest spring ever and as the first nice weekend finally is upon us, my kid comes to dinner and gives me a kind of by the way...the hub was spun on the prop. I ran it down to Murphy's thinking I may not even have it by memorial day..shoot the guy at the counter asked if I wanted to wait and then in fifteen minutes and fifty bucks later I was finished and headed back to the boat. Good save Murphy's.. I'll be back

My 16 year old High Five 5-bladed stainless steel prop was in pretty poor shape. The local boat…read morerepair shop that I trust and do business with said that Murphy's was the only place he would recommend that I send it to, he said that they do great work. So I sent it to Murphy's, not expecting it to be anywhere near perfect, since it was in bad shape. When I got it back and opened the box I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought they had sent me a brand new prop by mistake. After some very close scrutiny it was my prop, but it sure looked brand new. Then when I put it on the boat and took a test drive, it performed better than it did when it was new. And I thought the price was very reasonable. I will never send another prop any where else.

Herewith my ActiveCaptain review of Cobb's Marina as of May 2018. UPDATE May 2018 This is really getting boring. I have nothing to complain about. I stopped here for fuel and a nap while waiting for the second owner to arrive for the last leg of a delivery. Dockmaster David Benns was hospitable as always. I consulted with David about a mildly creative approach to springing and warping a somewhat unwieldy 50' pilothouse ketch from the lift well bulkhead to the fuel dock to avoid backing down the fairway - it is clear David is as comfortable and competent on boats as in a marina. Many thanks--again--to all the staff at Cobb's Marina for their support and customer service. UPDATE August 2017 Another delivery and another stop at Cobbs, this time for a couple of days for some minor mechanical work and to wait out some weather. Frank in the parts department tracked down some obscure parts for us really fast. The entire team at Cobb's is first rate. UPDATE July 2017 Once again Cobb's Marina demonstrated that customer service is their priority during a brief visit for inbound C&I and fuel while on delivery. Many thinnks to David Benns for getting us turned around and on our way despite a later than hoped for arrival. Extract from previous review: We visited Cobb's in March of 2017. At the end of a difficult delivery that included a failed main halyard, a seized engine, and a tow from the USCG our arrival at Cobb's was welcome. Everyone on staff was helplful and kind. Dockmaster David Benns took care of us. Although we could not reach the fuel dock given our circumstances David made sure we could get diesel on the boat. The docks are nothing short of lovely with sturdy cleats and good bumper strips. Showers and baths are heated and there is plenty of hot water. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery. CBP clearance was a piece of cake. I will be back.

The facility's main business is dry storage for power boats up to about 40 feet, but they also handle daily or extended in- or out-of-water stays from transient boaters, and those local boat owners wishing to perform maintenance on their boats, both sail and power, up to about 60 feet. The marina has all the normal amenities, including both gasoline and diesel fuel, a very nice Ship's Store, a selection of bait and tackle for fisherman, on-site mechanical and rigging service personnel, bottom cleaning and painting capabilities, fiberglass repair services, and full electrical and water services for both in-water and landside slips. Short or long-term storage contracts are available, and range from one-day visits to yearly dry storage contracts with provisions for on demand in-and-out-of-the- water hauling included. Sunset is located in a fairly quiet part of Hampton, and is a short walk or tender ride up the Creek to the center of the city and all the commercial action, hotels and restaurants. But, aside from the peacefulness of the place, one of the benefits of its location is that prices here are a bit lower than at those spots further up the Creek and closer to Downtown. And, for whatever reason, the folks that frequent Sunset seem a bit less plastic than those at the more "sophisticated" marinas at the head of the Creek. And whether that's good or bad, of course, is entirely up to you.
