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.

We have done the half day and full day rentals. I prefer the morning half day rental cause by noon, after a full morning crabbing, we are knackered. It's located in a great spot so you don't have far to go into the bay or down the lagoon. Best crabbing is in the lagoon imo. So take a day and rent a pontoon. Even if you don't crab, they have a pontoon a little bit more comfy for just traveling around the bay relaxing. Enjoy!

After speaking to "bob" the acclaimed owner of this marina during a week in September this year, we discussed slips for the year. He went over placement, fees, etc, as I expected. We settled on a location and price and made arrangements for me to move my boat to his marina that Saturday at noon. All Great Right ? Come Saturday I pull into the marina in my boat at the scheduled time as directed, and tie up to the fuel dock. After searching for a marina staff member I find the fuel dock worker that explains to me the main office closes for lunch at noon, and they shall return at one o'clock. OK....... So i wait, and wait, and wait.......... along with a half dozen other disgruntled current marina slip holders. Office finally reopens, after what i hope was a good lunch for them, at 2:45pm !! I wait my turn in line to speak to the marina office staff, over hearing numerous complaints from every person in line in front of me. Finally at 3:15 pm my turn comes up, after much confusion from the office staff, who have no record of me, or my prior arrangements with the owner. When inquiring on the status or phone availability of the owner the acclaimed "bob". I was told "he went fishing today" and is unavailable. thirty minutes later, with a growing line behind me, the staff member finds the entry of my boat slip in the register all set to go, but.......... she did not check the register that morning and already leased the slip to another boater. Instead of a "im sorry" or any remorse or apology, to my shock she says their might be another opening in two or three weeks........ great, but my boat is tied up at your fuel dock. So trying to put this disaster of an experience behind me, i quickly scramble to find another maria close by that can take my boat into a slip that evening...... And i do, the very nice gentleman at Long Key Yacht Club said he had a few openings and i could pick which ever i liked. He even keep the office open late that day to accommodate me. Finally I have found somebody with a head on their shoulders. At long key, better slip, better hook ups, better service, and half the price of Holiday and their disastrous customer service. I do realize that Holiday Harbor is one of the nicest maria's in the Barnegat Inlet area, with probably some of the best amenities, which comes with a higher cost. With that said I do believe this cost is much higher than reasonable, but with quality comes price, quality = price right.... answer is no. It certainly does not come with customer service, this has been made clear to me. My advice, stay away from Holiday Harbor......... Buyer Beware.........

Not a lot but enough that I had to clean it out each time. After the installation I noticed that the bulges are bone dry! This was an added bonus to the expert installation.
