I was just looking up their phone number to schedule a pick up of our boat after winter storage and…read moresaw one review that was not a good one. I was outraged, to be honest and decided to write my own review, taking the time out of my life to do so. We have done business with Biggart for several years and have had nothing but great service and knowledge. I note Julie H. wrote her review in December. Well, most marina people take time off around the holidays and in winter months as they work so much in the summer when the rest of us are frolicking on the lakes. Biggart tells you that he is unavailable for the month of January, especially, as he and his family vacation then, when things are not busy. At any rate, we restored an old 1957 boat and we were hoping that our old motor could be spared, we did not protest when we were billed for some hours of work on the old motor as they HAD to do things to test the motor and their time is worth something. We could have insisted that it be fixed, but we were honestly told that it was not going to be in good running condition for long. We chose to scrap the old motor and Biggart assisted us in finding a new motor for our boat and also putting a device on it to adapt a longer shank to the boat. They installed it perfectly and we had absolutely no trouble or problems. They have winter stored our new boats for us and they have done a fabulous job, they even built it's own wooden frame so that shrink wrap is put on top well and there are no gullies where water comes in. They store our batteries, marked with our names on them, for us and re-install them. They have winterized the engines and done it right. The boats have been available when we asked them to be and we always get phone calls back when we leave messages. i don't know what this one person expects, but I feel Biggarts has performed above and beyond all expectations, politely and well done each time. Years of business connections and honesty are what draws us back to them again and again. Guess there is always one sour grapes person out there, but I highly recommend them without question.

I brought it by and asked him to take a look at it and the owner immediately got defensive and argumentative and wouldn't even take a look at it. I was told to take it elsewhere to have work done on it. He said that the boat was junk and shouldn't be used. Funny he didn't say the same when he was able to replace an outdrive. I had never had any issues other that the power tilt not working, which he was supposed to repair. Bottom line, find somewhere else to take your boat for repairs, this place does not stand behind it's work. I would give them 0 stars but it is not an option. want to still use them?? you've been warned

Five stars all day long! Thanks Rockingham! Keep up the great work

They're happy to help you out but if you expect big dealership customer service then you should go pay for it. I heartily recommend CCM.

They were very friendly, very helpful, very patient, and very flexible to my circumstance and schedule. Their prices are very fair as well. Even if other certification providers had gotten back to me as quickly and surely as they did, the best deal was still with AE. I did my training dives with Mike, an expert diver and great teacher with decades of experience. I highly recommend him for any dive training/certification you have in mind. Back Story: About a month ago, I realized I had the chance to go after an obscure bucket list dive I learned about years ago, but I only had a few weeks (in the middle of winter) to get my dry suit diver certification, which is required for it. I was pessimistic about the possibility of getting this done, but I still contacted every dive training service in the region just in case there was a chance. Aquatic Escapes was the ONLY place to promptly write me back with optimism and confidence that we could easily get it done in time. And because of them, I was able to work around my busy schedule and get the certification completed just like that. Now I'm ready to check a very cool dive off of my bucket list later this month.

My husband and I got our Open Water Certifications from them years ago (their on-site pool makes classes so convenient!), and more recently, our 12yo son completed his certification with Don and team. The instruction is top notch. All of the classes were 1:1 and tailored specifically to our needs and comfort level. We all came away incredibly confident divers, which is the best measure of success. Anytime we're on a trip, the dive master always comments on what a skilled diver my 12yo son is. I swell with pride every time I hear this and am so thankful for the great instruction he received, as it will help keep him safe in the water for years and years to come. As an added bonus, Don lets my son borrow equipment anytime we go away to ensure he's using the same equipment he trained in and therefore as comfortable & confident as possible. As soon as my son stops growing :-) we will buy our gear from Atlantic Aquasport. But until then, being able to borrow equipment has been a huge cost saver and convenience. My husband and I have purchased all of our gear from Don and couldn't be happier with the quality, selection, and support we get even after the sale. My regulator has a lifetime guarantee from Don. It had a problem Don couldn't fix (likely from years of being jostled around by baggage handlers across many airports) and Don replaced it free of charge, no questions asked. My most recent experience with Atlantic Aquasport was going on a Saturday morning dive with them to Nubble Point. Despite having logged 500+ dives, this was my first New England dive and I loved it! The crew let me borrow additional gear to ensure I'd be warm enough, conducted a thorough safety briefing, and guided me on a really fun dive that surpassed my expectations for what I'd see in New England waters. I love the Atlantic Aquasport team and can't recommend them enough for training, gear, and local dives!

Captain Dan took us out for a half day fishing trip. He did an awesome job. And I don't say that…read morejust because we caught fish but because he made the whole experience special, like we were family! First, the three of us in the trip were seniors and one had mobility difficulties that made getting in and out of the boat dufficult.. Capt. Dan found solutions and make accommodations that made it easy as possible. Thank you! Once in the boat, Capt.Dan quickly adapted to what we wanted to do. He clearly loves fishing and being on the water. He knows the area around Gloucester, near shore and out a ways so he could quickly adapt to sea conditions and ensure our best chances for catching fish. He let us set our level of involvement, whether just sitting back as he trolled, with rods in the holders, or holding the rod and actively fishing. He used both live bait (mackerel that we actually fished for) and trolling lures. On this trip we caught a couple of the biggest fish I've ever caught! A 32 inch bluefish that really put the word sport into sport fishing! And a 42 inch striper that easily weighed 30 pounds. Both were caught near shore in protected areas with minimal chop (one of our party surprisingly got seasick..a first for her and to which he adapted immediately). We even cast a couple of lines as we tied up at the dock and he cleaned our fish. We almost caught another striper! Like I said Captain Dan went above and beyond for our party, ensuring we had a great day on the water. He made us feel like family! I highly recommend this charter!
