We had a problem with the engine idle on the MerCruiser engine in our boat…read more The first place I called wanted to charge me $150 per hour to come tow our boat to their marina to run diagnostics on the engine, and they wouldn't be able to do it for at least a week. Nope. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent. (Especially considering I just got here for my week of summer vacation, so if I wait for this place, my vacation will be done and I won't have used the boat at all.) Independent Marine sent someone to our place the same day. I think we called around 10 a.m. and James came to our place around 1:30 p.m. He quickly figured out what the problem was, showed me what was causing it and what part needed to be replaced. I'm sure he would have done it for me if I wasn't up to the task, but he was happy to teach me / show me what was wrong and let me do it myself.

I was in the market to replace my old boat with a different used boat. I got a good price at…read moreIndependent Marine for a boat I knew had been in storage. There was a problem with it, and Independent Marine addressed it quickly and at no charge. When it had a different problem, they took it back as a trade for the full price I paid applied to a different boat. I can't detail all the different ways they went above and beyond for me. I found the GM Janice to be honest and responsive. I will be storing my boat there over the winter. I highly recommend Independent Marine, and have suggested to my brother that he get a boat from them.

I want to give a shout out to Goodhue Boat Co. We bought a pontoon boat from them last September,…read moreand when we went to pick it up they couldn't have been nicer. They detailed the boat, gave us bumpers, life vests, and 4 lines so we could tie the boat off. I felt we paid a reasonable amount, I was happy, and took delivery Labor Day weekend. They winterized it, stored it, and got it ready for a June pick-up. I'm now dealing with the service department, and I feel they are bending over backwards to accommodate us. I would highly recommend Goodhue Boat Co.

We purchased a used pontoon from Winnisquam Marine in August '26. Our first contact was Zach who…read morewas our salesperson. This being our first boat Zach was extremely informative explaining everything to us to make our buying decision seemless. He was a great resource and exercised patience with me as I tend to have a lot of questions. Shortly after we purchased it we had some issues with it starting and/or running. It seems that muskrats like to get into the engine area of a boat and chew on the wires because soy is one of the ingredients used in the wire casing... who knew? They were very responsive to help us and inspected the boat, diagnosed the issue and took the boat in for service. We were without our boat for 2 weekends in a row as parts were needed and had to be ordered. This is where it gets better. We had company coming up both weekends, when I posed our issue to them they made sure we had a rental both weekends so our entertaining didn't miss a beat. Shout out to McKenzie, she saved us from having to break the news to our guests that we wouldn't be going out on the lake. Rentals are in high demand at this time of year at Winnisquam Marine but McKenzie made sure we had one each weekend to entertain our guests. She was instrumental in helping us make sure our plans went off without a hitch. Thank you so much McKenzie! Then there is the staff, amazing group of people. I'm sorry if I didn't get all of your names but know you were all appreciated. A few mentions going out to Bob in service, Ray and Wes on the docks. Once again, they were so patient with me as I'm learning boating for the first time. You all made my experience with Winnisquam Marine outstanding. You have a customer for life.

The dock hand Gavin gave an excellent overview of the features of the boat and provided excellent suggestions about how and where to most safely enjoy the excursion.

They installed their spare battery plus took it back out afterwards when we got to their marina. On top of that, the guy who did the work was so friendly and explained what we needed to do when we got back to our marina. Just five star service for complete strangers. We could have been in a much crappier situation, and we are so grateful they decided to stop and help. If you're looking for a marina, I would 20/10 recommend.
