This was such an amazing experience!! I bought this deal off of Groupon which had expired since I…read morebought it in the winter time but the owner still allowed me to accept the voucher and use it at a later time whatever was convenient for me. The owner is Captain Hess, he is extremely accommodating, friendly, experienced and a great sailor!! Capt Hess gives out directions, instructions and words to study before coming to sail just so you have basic knowledge of some key words that are used while sailing. I really walked into this not know what it would be like. Capt Hess walks you through absolutely everything. Some times I would get scared but he was extremely comfortable and would put us at ease because he knew exactly what to do. I learned so much about sailing and I would love to do it again!! We learned so much and really credit sailors because it is a lot of work! A lot of science goes into this, balance, strength and patience. Loved it!! He has water available if you don't have or forget. He also allowed small snacks on board. Don't forget to wear closed shoes and apply sunscreen before your sail! I would recommended everyone to try this!!

I had Ocean Gate do a lot of work to my 2016 Back Cove 37 inclusive of painting it with Awlgrip…read morepaint. Overall, I was pleased with their work. The paint job came out very well. The prep was mildly missed in some spots but it's minor and I can repair myself with the exception of some overspray in the side vents. I haven't made them aware of it yet but will if I can't rectify it myself. Still, the paint job was top shelf, and they performed all work in a timely fashion. I would recommend them and have already done so.

You can rent a sailboat or a catamaran to take out, or you can hire a captain to do all of the work for you. We had my birthday party aboard the big catamaran and had a great time traversing the Toms River on a sunny day while we enjoyed drinks and snacks. Their rates are reasonable, and their boats are well maintained. They'll teach you to sail if you want to learn, and help you sharpen your skills if it's been a while since you've sailed. Taking sailing lessons would be a great stay-cation for a family that didn't want to travel this summer!

Regarding Jim R. review:…read more Seems like Nelson Sailing Center is taking advantage of their supposed monopoly on the local sailing school market. Clearly they do not appreciate you as a customer. Here is another option: Monmouth County Park System offers summer sailing classes on the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell, NJ. The classes are taught by certified instructors and they have sailing camps for kids. Here is the web site, but keep in mind that this is a Summer program, so the info may not be available until Spring. "http://www.monmouthcountyparks.com/program1/index.aspx" Best of all...no jelly fish! I have been renting sail boats at Manasquan Reservoir for the past few years, and have been very happy. Nelson is not the only option, and does not deserve your business!

When I asked to speak to a supervisor, all were away, and their staff was unable to help correct my issues. Frustrated by this, the situation became heated to say the least. Long story short, The following day one of the owners contacted me, and ensured me that he would correct everything, and make sure I was happy with my purchase. To say the least, they did everything they promised, and were extremely professional throughout the process. Thank you for the extra effort, and excellent Customer Experience.

All you NJ Sea Hunt owners, beware!!! NJ Outboards is the…read moreworst. They had my boat for warranty issues, had no choice to bring it to them or haul it to LI or MD. The weekend prior to them picking it up, the motor went. Yes, a 2024 Yamaha f200 with 60 hrs on it went. It was filled with water. Anyway long story short, they had my boat for over a month, didn't take care of the issues that they were initially there for. And the motor took well over the 8hrs Craig Estelle, the service manager claimed it would take. it actually took over 10 days. When I get the boat back, it's all messed up. They destroyed 5 panels of sea deck, didn't do repairs, and my motor trim isn't working properly, or the gauge. To top it off Paul Gioe, the owner, blocks my emails. I sent all the managers an email demanding the repairs to be made. And Paul calls me and tells me " We are not working on your boat. You are no longer allowed to bring your boat here. We are not dealing with a Philadelphia wise guy." He also claimed the boat looked like that when they got it. And he has pictures. But he would not send me them. "I don't need to prove you anything." This is how they react when they mistreat customers property, and the customer wants it made right. Such a circus act over there. Just be careful. Yes this is my second review on the place, but I didn't take my own advice and go to Long Island or MD.
