The ladies at the front desk are quite affable, very funny and super efficient. Every time I enter through the gates, I'm amazed at the incredible boats that they are either working on or selling. One day, I'd love to purchase one direct from Al Grover's. In the meantime, I highly recommend them to anyone looking!

I recently acquired a Catalina 25, and was moving it from Bellmore to his marina earlier this week…read more (Unbeknownst to me, the boat had some engine issues and was covered in three years of barnacles.) It was slow going and we were very late showing up to Matt's Marina. Not only were they so nice to me when my plans kept changing, but were accommodating when I showed up late and a bit frazzled from having such a tough boat move. The guys there helped 1) securely store my sailboat on their limited open dock space overnight and 2) take it out of the water first thing the next day. They reported back on the condition of the boat and necessary repairs before they got started with anything. They did hours upon HOURS of MASSIVE barnacle removal, which is a thankless and dirty job, all so I can move my boat to it's North Shore location later this week. They even did a walk-through and reviewed the condition of the hull with me after the barnacles were off and it was fully power-washed, pointing out the next steps for repairs and how to best handle it. These are some REALLY good people on the South Shore, and I would recommend them to anyone. Great crew, nice guys, and have a sense of humor if you're like me and have no idea what you're doing. It's all a learning experience. Thank you guys for being so cool and helping a girl out!

Come with an open mind…read more.. I arrived early in the morning to check out the Boatel. First of all, I've never been in this part of Qns before! But, it was gorgeous. The guys at the gas station told us that if we hung out by the gates, someone would open up for us to drive in... a little odd, but it worked. No one asked us any questions.. we just sauntered in, wandered around, got invited onto a house barge (AMAZING, I want to live on one!), and overall get very jealous at the itinerant lifestyle. The boatel wasn't anything to write home about, but I really enjoyed the experience of wandering around, sitting on the docks, and just enjoying the view, sun, quiet, and the company.

If you're looking for a great Marina, look no further than Blue Water Yacht Club in Merrick, NY!…read more BWYC is family oriented with a nice pool, fishing off the docks, fish cleaning station, great water view restaurant, bbq's during holiday gatherings along with having really nice people that are passionate about boating. If you are ever in need of immediate service or repair at BWYC, I have seen their service crew fix batteries, starters, bilge issues, etc. the same day as it occurs and on even on holiday weekends!

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.

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!

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!
