I wanted to write a review to highly recommend Prestige Yacht Sales for anyone considering…read morepurchasing a boat. We bought our Beneteau Oceanis 381 from Prestige a couple of years ago, and the purchasing process was amazing from start to finish. The Prestige team (led by Tom Pilkington) was courteous, professional, patient - overall Tom is a gentleman to deal with. There were no surprises, and any issues that needed to be dealt with were quickly taken care of. Since then they have reliably and responsively helped me with any troubleshooting or servicing issues that have come up - they even made a "housecall" to my home marina in Westport this past week to help with an electrical issue, that they quickly resolved for me (shout out to Peter who is a great guy and a master mechanic!). This team is simply the best, and a must for anyone looking to buy a boat and continue a relationship with a great team who will offer years of support! -Steve Goldstein, Westport CT

We are very satisfied by the services provided by Prestige Yacht Sales and we would recommend Tom and his team to anyone with a boat interest.

The guy Scott's a good mechanic and if you're in that area of the Connecticut River base around Old…read moresaybrook or Essex you can get both parts there. The guy probably has everything. I bought a boat as Marina from a customer It was an old boat that I was unrealistically and ridiculously underqualified to do the maintenance on the guy that sold me. The boat failed to tell me that there was no access to the engines without four guys and an hour labor to take entire top of the boat off. I bought the boats because them rings in Montauk are incredibly expensive and I thought I could get a better deal storing it in Connecticut. I also have had very good friend or a few friends over there that I thought could help me do some basic stuff like the oil change change and things de-winterize it. Do some teak work. Paint the bottom and splash Turns out that area of the Connecticut River is brackish water. I need a massive barnacle problem. The black fin that the owner failed to mention was infested with Barnacles up into the housing unit stuffing unit. I made a mistake of telling Scott to go ahead and remove the Barnacles but I forgot to tell my partner/friend about it and he went ahead and did it anyway. Apparently he didn't leave tarps down and caused massive environmental damage with the barnacle shells and the internet $500 cleanup. So now it started as a good thing. Me doing a favor for a friend ended up with us. Bickering and yelling and a friend fit dissolving and now I'm stuck with a boat that I really can't get rid of cuz they're real dinosaurs. Nevertheless, I'm glad that Scott and places like S&S Marina exist that very few mechanics that can work on inboards anymore, Montauk could use a mechanic like Scott. They're a dying breed. It's a very tough job where you're always at a weird angle and four bolts. Three bolts can come out perfectly. And the third one you got to spend the 3 hours on because it's corroded and the spreads are not coming out and you have And you can burn it off. Sometimes one little simple set like set back like that can take 3 hours and that ends up on your bill and people freak out. I used to be the type of guy that would freak out about Marina bills until I worked at a marina. I've worked side by side with some great mechanics and I see what happens. The hardest job there is doing discussing mildew areas and gross holes and billages your breathing and dangerous stuff. The hard job they deserve the money. I just got into a bolt that I couldn't handle and when you do that you better be a multi-millionaire and I'm not. Scott's assistant Caroline was very pleasant and professional I was hoping she would send me an invoice for some of that commissioning work they did I'm still not sure of what it cost for a short haul. That's why it's not a 5 but other than that the place is clean. The docks are beautiful right there on the river. It's a great place for transient to stay and again he is parked for just about every engine and if not he'll work hard to find them. God's probably wanting few professional Marine mechanics that'll get the job done. Not cheap but if you want cheap do it yourself

In each instance he went way above and beyond the call of duty, having key parts shipped overnight from the factory and, in one instance, having one of his team install the part immediately at his facility, and in the other, many miles away, finding the right guy to do it and arranging for him to do it promptly where I was. In each of these two instances Scott was utterly responsive, fair in his pricing, and easy to work with. I'm grateful for how he helped me in tough spots, and I recommend him highly.
