Smooth Sailing For Selling My Boat With Commonwealth…read more I had a great experience with Commonwealth Boat Brokers. They sold my boat for me and got exactly the price I was hoping for. Marc was outstanding to work with throughout the entire process--he kept me in the loop with regular updates about showings and potential buyers, and he was always easy to reach if I had questions. I had SO much trouble trying to sell the boat myself. When I listed it on Boat Trader, all I got was spammers and fake interest. It wasted my time and money! I tried to print flyers and post them at marinas in my area in Virginia, but didn't get any interest, and this also wasted my time and money. Commonwealth Boat Brokers is professional, efficient, and trustworthy, they took care of everything and made it easy for me. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.

Now after getting the boat home and checking the boat over it doesn't start, batteries are dead and some things don't work. So I call Chris to tell him my problems and it takes another 3-weeks to get my boat back. Of course it still does not run correctly on the water after spending $4500 and instead of taking it back, I do some research and find a bad fuel pump. So I repair the boat and then Labor Day weekend my boat sinks because of a faulty new bilge or faulty new overflow switch. Boat is a total loss! My suggestion, take your boat somewhere else!

Chris and the guys at Dockside have done a GREAT job keeping my Ficht running VERY well. So well that I get compliments how good it sounds and runs. And when the Optimax needs service, it's always done right! Only time old parts were laying in the well is so they could show me what the problem was. And even then the parts were in a ziplock bag so they wouldn't dirty my boat. I see no reason to have anyone else service my Evinrude or Mercury.

This is a gentleman that you can trust. Robert at R & R Marine is an experienced, knowledgeable,…read more"comes to you" boat mechanic that does good, honest work at a very fair price. He rolled up at my place with an enclosed trailer behind his truck, and his trusty dog along for the ride. He evaluated my boat motor's condition/performance while it was running with a temporary water supply, reassembled the water pump, and then recognized that a rubber connecting bushing at the water pump housing discharge was missing (that I did not even know was needed). As it was late afternoon, and over an hour and a half from his home, Robert gave me advice on the missing component, how to install it, and on reinstalling the lower unit. I picked up the part, installed it per Robert's advice, and the water pump worked! I was so thankful for the review posted by the gentleman with the blown head gasket, as the feeling I got from reading his review is why I called R & R. And the feeling I got when my water pump worked is why I will call Robert for any and all boat motor issues I ever experience. Thank you Robert, you are very much appreciated! Kenny R.

Fantastic and honest mechanic! I broke a spark plug off in my 4 stroke Honda 130 outboard engine…read moredays before we were scheduled to leave for a family vacation. The boat was essential to this trip. Desperate to fix it I called R&R on a Sunday evening with little to go on but an Internet search result. To my surprise, Robert answered my call. He sounded good on the phone, felt for me and my situation and allowed me to drop the boat off that night at his shop. By 10 the next morning he called me with the diagnostic. Water in my oil and a very seized set of threads from the old plug stuck tight in the head. Really bad news! Robert checked compression to make sure the block was good before we went further. He then pulled the head in no time and found a blown head gasket was the cause of both issues. That evening he got the old rusted plug threads out. That took serious skill and finesse! By the next day he had the parts and my engine was purring like a kitten and looked like brand new. This was a difficult job that others wouldn't have dared to touch. I'm sure many dealers would have condemned the motor as soon as they saw water in the oil, too. You can trust R & R. He's my guy for all my jobs here on out.

For brevity, I'll simply provide a list of what I know about Rob: Tangibles: - Great mechanic - Knows boats - power, performance, history of quirks/tendencies - Dependable - what he commits to, he delivers Intangibles: - Memory (beyond boats) is uncanny - years ago I stopped saying, "you work on a lot of boats so I wouldn't expect you to remember..." I stopped because he remembers your name, boat and what he has done to it. - Knows the Lake - Very careful/mindful of your boat while it's in his care - ex: he takes off his shoes when in your boat. Who does that? - Honest/trustworthy - I don't know if it's instinctual or purposeful, but he gets it. The only way to be successful for as long as he has; ya gotta be honest & trustworthy.

There are plenty of competent boat shops out there, but this is not one of them. They have had our boat since May..... And they still have the boat (now September) - that's the entire 2025 summer waiting for them to fix a simple small oil leak. The boat was running when it went in, but apparently no longer runs. We did pay quite a large sum of money to briefly discover (in July) that the boat wouldn't run at all, even after they "water tested" it before we picked it up. So, back to the shop the boat went, and still remains today. We have never received a call to discuss diagnosis of the problem or plans for repair. The last conversation was today when i CALLED THEM and was told the engine is basically shot. So from a functioning boat to a blown engine under their watch. How happy would you be? How satisfied with their knowledge and customer service with would you be? Just some things to consider before you consider using them. And consider these things very carefully before you entrust your boats, etc to these incompetent people. I have a strong feeling we will be seeing them in small claims court very soon.

While most boat salesmen would have given me a few details and told me to come see for myself, the owner, Chris, went over the boat with a fine tooth comb telling me every minor scratch or issue. We even negotiated the sales price prior to my drive down there. Everything was exactly as he described it. The boat and motor (which they had tuned up prior to selling) run great. I as so impressed with their customer service, honesty, and Chris' knowledge of boats and motors that I took it back for installation of some electronics. Couldn't recommend these people higher. Well worth the drive.

As a complete novice to boating, I had *a lot* of questions--from basic maintenance to navigation tips--and they've been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and quick to respond every single time. What stands out most is their genuine commitment to customer care. Whether it's a quick phone call, a walk-in visit, or follow-up after service, they treat you like family. Michael, in particular, has gone above and beyond to make sure I'm confident and safe on the water. If you're looking for a dealership that combines great inventory with outstanding support--especially for first-time boaters--Nautical Marine is the gold standard. Thanks again to the whole team!

I visited this location a couple of years ago hoping to be a first time boat owner. I was looking…read moreat a Barletta which is a six-figure tritoon. I had two visits and traded multiple emails as we agreed upon the options I wanted on the boat. That all happened quickly and took probably less than 1 to 1.5 weeks as I had researched all of this online. When we went to say "we're ready" and let's finalize the deal, they said they would longer honor that price and increased the price by over $25,000 saying they were afraid Barletta "might" increase the pricing before the boat was delivered. I ended up getting Barletta involved and they were disappointed in the handling of this by the dealer and told me that they have not raised the price of any boat on any ordered boat even as they went through COVID. I gave the dealership one last opportunity to honor the original quote, and they would not. I ended up going out of state and ordered the exact same boat with all of the agreed upon terms at the exact same original price from the out of state dealer. That dealer even meets me half-way when I want them to do service on the boat and we just trade our trailer on to their truck. Well worth it given the way we were treated. I would never visit this location again.
