In my case, they utilized a Mercury product on a Yamaha engine. I was very clear that I wanted to utilize OEM products, and in some cases they do use OEM products, but not for me with the gear lube. What really annoyed me is on the invoice they listed the Yamaha parts using the Yamaha name and did not mention Mercury for the Mercury parts (gear lube), I found that very disconcerting as I felt the manufacturer was being purposefully obfuscated. Boats and Outboards are crazy expensive and I only use the genuine manufacturer's parts period. It is not clear to me why they did not use the OEM specified gear lube and they have not returned my call seeking clarification.

Recently I purchased a stunning 34' Formula from Knot 10 and was so impressed by the quality of…read moreservice we received. We are out of state buyers and Kyle was incredibly helpful in the entire buying process. He negotiated with the seller to acquire a very fair price and is extremely knowledgeable in all things boating. Rita, the office manager, was also highly appreciated throughout our transaction. Being new to boat financing and out of state purchasing, I often called Rita to answer questions that I had throughout the process. Rita was generous with her time and easy to work with. Overall I highly recommend Knot 10 when considering a boat or yacht from their fleet. Their service, experience and commission rate (7 vs 10) can't be beat! Best, Heather Graham

Terrible. Avoid at all costs and if you are a seller, find another broker. Knt 10 refused to…read morepresent three nearly full-price purchase offers from me because I objected to boilerplate language in their preprinted sales contract that would have removed sales contingencies.. This decision was supposedly made by the brokerage's owner I have been trying to buy the same boat from one of their listings for over a month and have invested two full days driving long distances to see it. The first salesman I worked with made repeated misstatements of fact about the boat and was too lazy to find out the correct answers. It was his listing but because he lived three hours away from the listing, he had no interest in meeting me so that I could inspect the boat. After a dozen calls (many unreturned), he found another salesman to show the boat. The second guy seemed hard working and helpful but ultimateley he was unable to convince the brokerage's owner that the boat's owner should be made aware of a bona fide purchase offer. I have owned three large boats over the past 40 years and have never encountered such behavior from a broker. I have also talked to several other brokers who tell me that Knot 10's actions are unethical and that my offer was very reasonable. Avoid these people at all costs. If their business were regulated by the State of Maryland in a meaningful way, I would be filing a complaint.

With the current and unprecedented social distancing restrictions in place. I got caught between the placing a deposit and traveling to perform a sea-trial and pick-up my boat. With no sense of how long or how severe the health and economic impacts will be, I requested that my deposit be returned. TommyO (whom I have yet to personally meet) immediately empathized and did not hesitate to assure me that Whalertowne business practices place people first; that's just who they are. As pleasant as he was during the sale, he cheerfully returned my deposit in full. I see what TommyO meant; not by word but by deed. When things return to normal, its Chesapeake Whalertowne where I will return; they have earned my trust. Jim B.

This winter I called Annapolis Boat Sales to check out a Steiger Craft 255 Miami. They had a stock boat and quoted a great price. I went to look, ready to compromise. I didn't have to; The boat was equipped exactly how I would have spec'd it (and more), at a price lower than a factory order. Options were expertly added and boat was ready and delivered before month end. Annapolis Boat Sales had the right boat, rigged right, and the experts to deliver a dream fishing vessel. No guessing, no regrets! Fishing boats ordered by Fishermen for Fishermen. I will definitely return for service, upgrades and more.

The buyer decided on a Saturday mid winter that he wanted to buy the boat ASAP, So at 8:59 am Monday I was on the phone to have the boat commissioned and ready for sea trial. To my surprise Eric had already scheduled all of this. No details missed. Perfect experience. I was even out of the country for settlement and it went flawlessly. Put your faith in Eric and sit back and watch it happen.
