    Just recently purchased a fine small boat via Mike Potter, he is a broker with Southpaw Yacht…read moreSales. I have to say that I'm pretty critical of boat brokers, I've been boating my whole life, have a good handle on what I'm looking at, what my needs are and all of that. With that said, I have little patience with brokers that do not know what they are talking about; many don't of course. However, meeting Mike I have to say that he was great to deal with. Mike was fair, honest, motivated and responsive. If I reached out he was quick to respond. Mike was a straight shooter and didn't BS me. I'm old and have been around for a long time and can typically pick up on the BS fairly quick. Mike was easy to deal with and his office staff (Nicolette) was just as great to deal with as well. I have no complaints with these guys, they were a big help and I appreciate it. Here is one example of Mike's dedication, on a Sunday, not too long ago, Mike flew in from vacation, got in his car and drove straight from the airport to meet up with me so that I could see the boat for the first time that I eventually bought. That told me right there that he was dedicated to his work. Nice to see that still exists. Thanks again Mike and Nicolette! Kerry H

    My husband Mark and I started the journey of boat shopping back in August. After another broker…read morewasting so much of our time with "issues", (in hindsight it was a good thing because it wasn't supposed to be our boat) We contacted Tim on FB Messenger. He immediately responded and we made verbal contact. Went and saw the boat and in less then 2 weeks did the Sea Trial, paperwork, picked up OUR Crown Line yesterday, and now it's home in our driveway. Tim was ABSOLUTELY the BEST Boat Broker to work with EVER! Everyone at the Marina, and I mean EVERYONE we spoke to all say "He's such a nice/good guy" and he really is. He went far above and beyond to make this workout for us in a timely manner. Then helped us modify our new trailer to get her home! Mark and I are so thankful, grateful and appreciative of all Tim did for us. We are so looking forward to Spring of 2022 for us to begin the next chapter of our lives together as Boaters. My husband has always been my Captain and I his First Mate. THANKS TIM!!

Let me tell you, the process from my accepted offer to the last signature was nothing less than extraordinary for this newbie. Nathalie was always accessible to answer questions and offer good suggestions and related services. The surveyor she introduced me to was diligent and extremely professional from the actual practice to an excellent report. The quantity of her many satisfied clients is obviously a direct reflection of the quality service Nathalie and the staff at Boatmax provide."

    Avoid purchasing a boat through BoatMax! I trusted them when they said their mechanics did a full…read moreinspection and "all was in great shape" prior to purchasing, only to run into issues IMMEDIATELY after signing the paperwork (even before leaving the dock). $20,000 in repairs later, I feel completely taken scammed. For starters, I was lied to about the boat having a generator. I was told repeatedly there was a generator, and "what a great price this is considering it has a generator." Lo and behold, we find out 10 minutes after signing that there is not a generator. We thought "well, shame on us trusting them and not verifying ourselves", but decided to start the boat, cut our losses, and move on. Well, the boat wouldn't start. After an entire team of mechanics came down the boat and spent 45 minutes inspecting and trying to find an issue, they sloppily used a plastic bag to "repair" a leaking water issue and found that the battery had died. They recharged the battery, and told us that we won't have any more issues as the battery just needed to be jumpstarted after being out of the water for a while during the sale. 15 minutes later, an engine shuts down while on the water. An hour later, the second engine shuts down. We were sitting ducks in the middle of the Hudson. The boat would not start. We called BoatMax repeatedly during this entire fiasco and were essentially told that no issues were found during the inspection or bay test and that the boat is now ours. We finally got towed to our marina 6 hours later. We charged the battery overnight (thinking that maybe it just needed more charge), but everytime we have taken the boat out, even for 15 minutes, at least one engine fails. It has been a nightmare. I just paid thousands of dollars for the boat to undergo a thorough inspection and for all parts to be disabled and tested. It turns out that the boat has major engine failure to the point where it is completely UNSAFE to use and is prone to EXPLODING. I am now having to pay $7,500 to get it to the point where it is even safe to drive, and another $12,000 to fix additional issues that are not immediately crucial but are necessary within the next 12 months for the boat to continue operating. Do not be scammed. Avoid BoatMax.

    Brand new boater here. Just purchased a 26' Crownline Bowrider from Kehls. I originally met Tom…read moreKehl at the Covid Boat Show at Jacob Javits back in 2020? 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!

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!

It's a nice sense of freedom during vacations and even in our hometown. We've rented boats from many places but usually private owners. Renting at Greenwood Lake was a pleasantly different experience. We originally planned a full Saturday outing with a large group of friends but due to some unfortunate circumstances, many of them could not make it for that day and because the weather initially forecasted unfavorably, we decided to cancel the boat. Luckily, we were able to receive a 100% refund earlier around Wednesday/Thursday. The weather forecast ended up changing and looking way more favorable, so we decided to book a 3 hour rental with just hubby, our little kiddo and myself. I was concerned because there were only very early or late afternoon bookings but we settled on a 4-7p rental. They're located a little over an hour from us and they have lots of parking. You might have to wait a bit for customers to leave and for spits to open up in their main parking area but there is additional parking located within walking distance. We lucked out with some parking right in front. The upside with booking here is that they have a convenience store located at the rental office. You can add additional incidentals to your booking, including coolers, ice, waters, tubes, floating islands, kayaks, etc. You can even book a captain if you're not comfortable with or have no experience driving boats. They prefer you to arrive 45 minutes prior to your booking if it's your first time driving, or 30 minutes prior if you've driven before. We arrived 30 minutes prior, parked and hubby completed the booking transaction at the office before we headed down to the dock to retrieve our boat. There was a bit of a wait as the boat had been taken out and we were awaiting it's return. The pontoon boat we had, Cast Away, is on the older side. It has carpet which is super weird when wet (kinda gross but you get used to it). They must take very good care of it because, despite being carpeted, it showed no signs of mildew or smells or anything. It was just weird but I know many homes in the 70s had carpeted bathrooms so, go fig? Our original boat was the double-decker with slide and it looked to be newer. They have CLEAN portable bathrooms on the premises and many, "hands on deck", to assist with docking and un-docking. Kevin, one of the guys working here, helped us to take the boat out of the slip. He showed us where we should go and we set off. Because we only had a few hours, we drove south a bit, anchored in the sun and enjoyed a day of swimming before heading back to the bock. Kevin met us once again, and docked the boat for us. All that was left was to pack up our car and head home. We had an awesome time and will most definitely be back. We'll definitely plan better and get a newer boat. Pro Tip: take the less than 15 minute drive over to Bellvale Farms Creamery for some deliciously creamy ice cream (homemade with their own cows milk!) and sunset views...a wonderful end to an amazing day.
