I strongly…read moreadvise new boaters stay far away from these liars or make sure you arrive with an independent surveyor or mechanic. Full story below: Found a Sundance boat they had listed and spoke with Marco and Braden about it over the phone in great detail. I explained that I am coming from 9 hours away and would like all the information I can on it as to not waste anyone's time. They explained the boat only had 30-40 hours and had all the maintenance done on it and is 100 percent ready to go except for a small scratch on the hull. I felt comfortable, we negotiated a price, left a deposit and I hit the road. When I got there, Marco greeted me and we began to look over the boat. I asked to see the hour meter and he said there wasn't one. I asked how they knew the hours and they said their mechanic had a computer. I asked we hook it up and it all went downhill from here. Mechanic came out and hooked up his laptop that was probably running windows 95 on it. It could not connect to the engine at all. I asked how he knew the hours if it couldn't connect and he said he doesn't know. I then asked him if he did all the maintenance on it and he said he doesn't remember and to ask Marco. I looked under the cowl of the engine and saw a rusted oil filter with the date "1-31-20" written on it. Obviously the boat hasn't had any maintenance on it in two years and they lied about the work they did to it. I expressed some concern about the unknown hours and Marco's response was "do you want to leave and pass on the boat?" I just drive 9 hours so figured we might as well do a sea trial. We got to the ramp which was actually connected to ANOTHER shop and they had a tech with a yamaha computer. He saw that it had 220 hours on it and they were mostly at wide open throttle. Looked over the rest of the boat and saw 5-6 chunks of gelcoat missing from the hull, much worse then the 1 scratch they mentioned. Sea trial went ok besides for the steering being stiff as a board. The tech and myself both needed two hand to turn the wheel under power which is odd for a hydraulic steering system. Needless to say the boat was not as described. We got back to the office and went in to see Marco. As soon as I sat down he said "The price is the price" I asked if we could call Braden, his boss and see if there was anything we can do about the maintenance that needed to be done and the difference in hours as advertised. He said "no he is not available" even though he has been calling his guys the whole sea trial and inspection. I came with cash and was only looking for a few hundred off the price to offset the maintenance I was told was done and they said "not a chance" I expressed that I thought their business practices were dishonest and do not appreciate being lied to. Marco's response was just "ok". I asked if they were going to fix the boat now that they know these issues and was told "We already have a back up deposit on it" Needless to say we walked from the deal and drove back 9 hours boatless. In addition, while I was there there was a previous customer complaining that their boat is still not working after multiple trips back. He even asked if I would buy it because he was fed up with the problems. It seems like Marco and Braden capitalize on new boat buyers or customers that do not know what to look for. Unfortunately for them, I have been a boater my whole life and will not be taken advantage of.

Avoid this vendor at all costs if you are considering renting a pontoon boat for the day. We…read morereserved a 22' pontoon boat approximately two months in advance for eight of us to enjoy a day on the water. The marina told me at the time that their boats will safely transport 10 people and have 100hp motors on them. I was pleased with the price and the deal (initially) on the phone. We arrived on March 29th, 2018 with 10 people (I decided to take my two grandkids with the original eight passengers). The pontoon boat they gave us was heavily damaged (see pics), only had a 50hp Honda motor on it (nowhere near enough horsepower to push a 22' pontoon boat carrying 10 people with coolers and gear), had no VHF radio (clear violation of US Coast Guard regulations), had no working 12 volt power to at least recharge a cell phone with a cigarette lighter adapter, had no anchor or working swim ladder, and upon firing up of the engine exhibited an incredibly loud whine from the prop bearing (to which the mechanic told me was normal noise for a Honda outboard). I've been captaining boats for 25+ years and I always take responsibility for passengers onboard my boats or any boat I rent. I complained about the condition of the boat and asked if we be assigned to a working vessel. The marina's reply was "no, but you are more than willing to call other marinas and try to rent their boat." I was shocked at Riverhaven's complete disregard for their customers' safety and their "couldn't care less" attitude. My passengers decided that we'd give the boat a try after driving 1.5 hours to Homosassa to try and have a relaxing day. We launched the boat and didn't get more than a quarter mile away before I noticed that the fuel gauge dropped from full to empty. I immediately turned the pontoon boat around and headed back to the marina figuring they just forgot to fill up the gas tank. Their response was "that gas gauge hasn't worked in years...but there is enough gas in it to get you where you want to go." I was fuming at this point, but tried to make the best of the day. The boat was extremely slow trying to push 10 people (max speed of 9 knots) with a 50hp motor but it lasted all day. Upon returning the boat there is a spot on the Homosassa River where spectators eat lunch at several locations. I was more than happy to display the Riverhaven logo as I slowly maneuvered the boat through the no wake zone with the engine whining so loudly that no one in their right mind could enjoy their lunch. I wanted everyone to know which marina NOT to rent from. We will NEVER rent from this marina again and we've informed the US Coast Guard of the numerous violations that the marina overlooks.
