One of the Best Sailing Experiences of My Life!…read more I had the most fantastic experience sailing on the Jersey Shore's Barnegat Bay on a beautiful September day. The "Steph-Er-Laur" is a Beneteau 32-foot sloop owned by sailboat charter company "A Day On The Bay." The tour departs from The Inn at Rivers Edge Marina, 223 East Lacey Rd. Forked River, NJ 08731 with easy access from the Garden State Parkway Exit 74. The sailing vessel has plenty of cockpit space and foredeck for relaxing while you sit back and take in the sights and beauty of the best sailing area that Barnegat Bay has to offer, including the Barnegat Lighthouse. This trip brought back so many beautiful memories for me since I sailed my pram sailboat, "Little Dipper," here as a child. The weather was perfect, and I had an outstanding time sailing with Captain Warren and his wife, Andi, who served as the "First Mate." I was a lieutenant with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary for 14 years and was impressed that Captain Warren went over the safety features of the boat and our trip before we left the dock. As a current university professor, I give Captain Warren an "A+" for sharing this important information first. I was also impressed that the sailboat was inspected and certified for safety by the US Coast Guard and that Captain Warren, is a United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain. A fellow passenger, Donna, was on the trip for a sailing lesson. Captain Warren is a terrific instructor, and I learned a few new things myself! Barnegat Bay is a very safe place to learn how to sail and enjoy the loveliness of the experience. The feeling is hard to describe as the sails catch the wind and the sloop gently heals over. Cold water and light snacks were offered, including a large and very clean bathroom or "head" as they are known on sailing vessels. I enjoyed the opportunity to take the helm and benefited from the Captain's extensive experience with wind, surf, and sail. I can't thank "A Day on the Bay" enough for a wonderful experience!

What a great evening. We decided to see if we could get a last minute trip for my birthday. I…read morecalled Cpt. Warren just two days before and he was able to accommodate my wife and me for a sunset sail. Cpt Warren and his wife Andy are a warm, outgoing couple who truly love sailing and their passengers. We were treated like longtime friends. The cruise itself was a bit over 3 hours, we got a n opportunity to steer the boat, and were treated to a spectacular sunset. It's obvious these two truly love sailing because there was no set duration, no "We'll be back at the dock by 8." They wanted us to share in their passion for sailing and relax and enjoy the whole experience. Nothing was rushed. We've taken more of these types of sails than I can count, and this is by far the most enjoyable, relaxing, and best value for our money, we've found. Cpt Warren and Andy are highly recommended, without reservation. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome time on the bay on a pontoon boat. We rented a boat for 10 people thinking someone was…read moregoing to drive us through the bay only to find out I was going to be the captain. I had done it once before so I took it on and handled the boat quite well even if I am the only one to say so myself. Lol!

We went out on a cruise, our so called captain cole cracked a beer the second we left the marina…read more(he's 19 years of age) then he proceeded to leave our boat stranding us for hours upon hours and then finally came back blacked out and could not drive the boat. Not professional , not safe, and definitely not worth over $1100!!!! Save your money!

We met a lot of great people and made some nice friendships. We would have never left but my family bought a house on the bay. I would highly recommend this marina for family fun and lasting friendships.

We ordered a new NauticStar 2302 Legacy from Jeff and Fred in October 2018 and took delivery In…read moreDecember 2018. The boat was on-time and just as we ordered, and Statewide's price was well under their competitors in PA and Maryland. They were easy to deal with during the sales and delivery process, but they really shined post-sale. Like any complex machine, there were a few issues. The issues were relatively minor (the boat is amazing), but the staff at Statewide is top notch. You can speak with an experienced person who will actually be the person working on your boat. I am a persistent, analytical guy, so that's very important to me. They explain what they intend to do very carefully, and deliver what they promise and more. I very highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a boat, or for service on an existing boat.
