I called Pat at 4:30 night before and he said bring it first thing and we'll take a look. They fixed it by noon and Pat even noticed our new trailer wasn't sitting right and adjusted on the spot. This type of service hasn't been around in a long time and it's good to see there are still great people putting out great products. This place just got a customer for life.

He was very responsive and was easy to work with. To paraphrase a comment he made when I complemented him: He told me what he was going to do and then did it. Sounds simple but it's rare. 3A is now my go-to for engines and service.

Our kids had such a great time swimming while we were at anchor near a place called Worlds End. We had a cruise around the Boston Harbor islands while Captain Rick shared his extensive knowledge of the area. Fantastic! So great to learn from a local expert. His boat was also a perfect size for our needs with plenty of room for onboard picnicking. I can tell you that the day exceeded our expectations and we look forward to one of his charters on our next trip to Boston!

On the ride back (last ship at 7) we were dazzled by a gorgeous sunset over Boston. We upgraded to the trolley because we were excited about being able to jump on and off, however we were told they no longer did that and they were shuttling people to weddings. We took the tour around the island, which was okay. It did give us an idea on what we would want to walk back to afterward, but it wasn't worth the extra money.

I hitched on a LOBSTER truck from Toronto to Boston, arriving 4 am at a dark Shipyard area with…read morelots of boats occupying the parking area. Going further inside was the Lobster Boats and Shack area where I called this place my home for a couple nights. As the special guest, I was able to go in and out of the GUEST Station where there was Laundry Machines and Bathrooms but was locked out from other rooms. Entrance needs a special password which is "*****". FYI, It's a word related to Lobster. :P As I wake up to a BEAUTIFUL morning around 7 am, I took a stroll to get a better glimpse of this Lobster Boat area and it was a great view all to myself with only a couple Fisherman setting out. Road travel isn't free as I helped unload and pack some FRESH Lobsters in return for the 11+ hour ride. This Hingham Shipyard area is on the side of a NEW-ISH plaza with various Restaurants & Shops. Futher down the Marina of Casual Boaters is where a Ferry Boat awaits its passengers.

In this case consider the Ferry as relaxing and suitable transportation to the airport. The cost is low at $18 which will take you within in minutes of the Logan airport.

Don't trust this Brokerage period!…read more I contacted a broker named Sarah Strauch at Eastern Yacht Sales in the Hingham MA office on April 20th 2020 seeking to purchase the deep draft Catalina I've been searching for. I got nothing but excuses about how busy she was, late call backs and essentially the run-around. I specifically requested she provide me a purchase & sale agreement and was prepared to make a full price cash offer. She complained the weather was bad, she was moving, bla, bla, bla... Finally on May 1st she promised to send me a few photos and connect me (on Sat.) with her in-house mechanic that had supposedly evaluated the engine on a start-up test - a contact I had requested and send me the PSA. By this time I was beginning to think "sure lady - in between surveying your friends that might be interested in a great insider deal". Sure enough the contacted me with this message: Sorry but received an offer from a local guy that has seen the boat and will be closed within a couple of weeks. Best of luck in your search if things change I'll let you know! Sarah (...the snake oil sales lady!).
