I do not keep my boat at Safe Harbor Marina so I can't speak to the quality of their facility, but…read moreI cannot recommend them for mechanical work. I keep my boat at a neighboring marina and reached out for help with my boat's engine. Over the course of a couple months one of their technicians tried several times to solve my problem, and worse told me several times that he had fixed it when the engine clearly was not running right. After seeking another opinion, another mechanic was able to diagnose my problem within an hour and then replace the broken part within an hour as well, and now my boat runs like new. If I hadn't used Safe Harbor for this issue I likely would have saved signficant time and money.

I had seen a few advertisements for the The Clam Bar at Bridge Marine and decided one Saturday to…read morego and have lunch. It is situated in a little cove with gazebo-type shelter and open all around. They had great music pumping into the dining area. It was peaceful and serene watching the gulls, boats, and kayakers. We ordered Little Neck clams (which could have been colder), and their famous lobster roll. The roll was chock full of meat, and the mixture was very delectable. It was so good in fact, that we ordered another. It did take some time to arrive at the table. We had a few beers which were chilled perfectly. At the time of our arrival at about 12:30, there were only a few diners. Within the hour, the place filled up. It was pleasant just sitting there, and we were not hurried out. A definite destination for lunch!

I bought my boat from Bridge Marine in Bayville NY. All went well on the sale and the owner himself…read moredelivered my boat. Unfortunately there was a defect in my boat and the boat had to be returned for warranty work. The customer service representative from the factory was great, he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and they took care of everything of course for no charge as it was warranty work. Upon my boats return, the sales man Jason from Bridge Marine wants to charge me for loading and unloading my boat from the factory truck. I cannot believe that the boat dealership that sold me the boat wants to charge me for my boat being returned for warranty work. Jason claimed that the warranty work is between me and the factory, he claimed the dealership has nothing to do with the boat they sold me for warranty work. I never heard of a dealership that will not stand behind what it sold and wants to charge for facilitating warranty repairs with the factory. In my experience with dealerships that sold a defective item is they bend over backwards to help you with warranty work and apologize for your inconvenience. I am waiting to speak with the owner of the dealership as this is the craziest thing I ever heard. I will follow up my review after I speak with the owner. I spoke with the owner and he made everything GOOD!!! My advice is deal with the owner, he gets a 5 and the sales guy gets a 0.

I found a boat being brokered by Babylon on Yacht World. After negotiating a price I sent Spencer a…read moredeposit for 10% of the cost of the boat via overnight check. I then worked on getting the boat set for a surveyor- at that point I found out that he had never seen the boat nor did he know where it was. It's worth noting he described the boat as a "9" but little did I know he never even saw it. I have him 2 more days to locate the boat- and when he couldn't - I stopped the check at the bank and contacted him. At that point he told me he may know where it was- but then said he didn't know; just that it was "on a farm". I told him that if he found the boat to call me. It was over a week later when I heard back from him and at that point I had bought another boat. He then proceeded to tell me he doesn't sell "ghost boats" and to never try and buy a boat from him again. I was shocked at this transaction and thankfully had another broker guiding me along the way or I am convinced I would have lost the deposit like the other yelp reviewer. I have emails to support everything. I don't know if this guy is a crook or not, but that experience isn't something someone should deal with.

My reply to yours:…read more Spencer, once again you can't seam to tell the truth! I totally agreed to the no survey clause like you requested. You said thank you see you tomorrow morning at 10 am sorry for the confusion. Then you called me two hours later and said you wanted to show the boat to someone else well after you had a purchase agreement for full asking. Then you said you didn't want a bidding war but that seams to me exactly what you were setting up. Once again your truthfulness is limited. Your a poor business man and your words means nothing obviously by your previous post. I love the new five star review after your scathing review was posted on The Hull Truth.....something smells very fishy here.

Brand new boater here. Just purchased a 26' Crownline Bowrider from Kehls. I originally met Tom…read moreKehl at the Covid Boat Show at Jacob Javits back in 2020? Left that day saying what a genuinely nice guy. Took me a few years and tons of research as to what make and model boat I wanted, settling on Crownline and I finally pulled the trigger, frequently entering the showroom numerous times picking his brain about all things bowrider and as I said, finally pulled the trigger. Coincidentally, unknown to me a friend told me he also uses Kehls for winter storage and couldn't be happier. Anyways, throughout the process I came to know his 2 brothers Mike and Joe as well as Joe's wife Anne whom handled the closing. From 2020 on, I have had only an excellent experience with the ENTIRE Kehl family. They sell family boats as well as fishing boats. You would be making a huge mistake if you didn't at least pay them at least one visit; I'm pretty certain you'll be happy you did!

My buddy picked up a used 15 foot Fletcher boat off Facebook marketplace earlier this summer and he…read morefinally took me out the other day to explore the inlets around Jones Beach. We had a great time for about an hour or so but about half way back the engine started sputtering and then died. We tried a few things but admittingly while we can both turn a wrench, neither of us are all that handy when it come to boats. While he was trying to access the carb (it's a pretty old but cool boat), I was already on Yelp looking for help. The fellas at Kehl's were as cool as a cucumber and as nice as my uncles. We tried a few more things but to no avail. We simply cracked a couple colds ones and waited a short while for them to arrive and tow us back to their marina. While I didn't ask him how much they charged for their work, I do know they were able to get her fired up the next day and he was pretty pleased with it all. I don't own my own boat yet (aside from canoes/kayaks), but when I do, I'm surely glad I now know of a friendly, reliable and honest boat mechanic/ marina nearby!

Chris runs an uber professional outfit: I was basically deciding whether or not I would be getting out of boating. I had tried out numerous marinas on the same BLOCK. All of which, I was inherently dissatisfied with the sercice. Not only does Chris GO OUT of his way to satisfy his customers, he goes above and beyond. I am the only small boat on a jetski dock, Chris is ALWAYS ensuring I am satisfied with my service at Open Bay. I have never ever felt like a customer here. He truly has his marina members best interests at heart. If I even think my motor is running rough, I hardly have to mention it. All of the other marinas in the area are truly a waste of time. I strongly suggest NOT trying out your hard earned money anywhere else. This marina is owned by a stand up, /true to their word family, Open Bay Marina is a great addition to the south shore boating community. I will continue to give them my business and recommend their services to others.
