MarineMax Westbrook was a fine place to store our Boston Whaler for a couple of seasons, but we had…read morean awful experience with their service. To summarize a long story, we had a chronic overheating issue with our Mercury Engine over the course of 3 full boating seasons that MarineMax was unable to fix. They consistently claimed it was the water pump and replaced it twice but never confirmed resolution of the issue (it wasn't). After lots of back and forth, and trying to manage it ourselves on the water, we were forced to have them pull the boat mid-season and they finally did a thorough check. They determined that their technician made an assembly error two years prior while fixing a warranty painting peeling issue that caused a misalignment in a critical water cooling manifold. In addition to all the time and money we originally paid for parts and labor trying to resolve the issue that they created, they refused to refund us the $2000 for pulling the boat mid-season and fixing the mistake they made. We were shocked not only by their poor workmanship, but also poor judgment and leadership. This was the worst bad faith business practice we have ever encountered.

My salesmen Devinn McGale was so helpful. His goal the first time meeting me was not to sell a boat. It was to help me understand boating and my family needs first and then discuss a boat that fit my needs and one that I would enjoy. He really cared. The rest of the staff there Joseph, Captain Rush all were incredible and patient with me and my family as we had no idea about boating and boat ownership. Offered many options and no hard sell. THey offer free services like Women on the water, boating license class, knot tying, lessons on your boat for free and a few others that enhanced the experience. For being new to boat ownership they handles everything from A to Z AND REALLY MADE MY EXPERIENCE TO BOATING A GREAT ONE.

My wife and I are first-time boat owners this year. We purchased a custom 2021 Monterey M4 from…read moreBassett Yacht and Sales Boats in Westbrook, CT. We wanted to take some time to share our experience with Dianne and her extremely professional and courteous staff. Being our first boat purchase, we weren't really sure to begin, so we did quite a bit of research on the Internet and decided that Monterey might be a good choice due to the high-quality craftsmanship and good reviews. We selected the M4 based on where we wanted to drive the boat and the type of water activities we are interested in. Bassett Yacht and Sales Boats is a Monterey dealer that is close to us which is how we met Dianne Bassett, owner of Bassett Yacht and Boat Sales. From the very first time I spoke with Dianne she was personable, knowledgeable, and very patient, despite our obvious lack of boating experience. Dianne took the time to ask appropriate questions such as: where we planned on doing most of our boating, how many people would be on the boat, and the types of activities we wanted to do with the boat--really getting to know my wife and I and ensuring we made the proper boat selection and didn't pay form something we did not want or did not need. Dianne also kept our budget in mind when making her recommendation. All the while Dianne was not guaranteed a sale from us but she treated us like long-time customers: always answering questions and making sure that we understood the specifications of our order before placing our order with Monterey. We are very thankful as well that Dianne suggested we place our order early to ensure we would have the boat in time for the next boating season. Dianne and her staff were very flexible. We were able to look at an M4, she had in her showroom, a few times before making a final decision. This is where we met Mike the shop manager. Mike was very personable, professional and just as patient with our first-time boating questions: from everything about the M4 to what we might expect during the Connecticut Boater's Safety Course. Dianne and staff provided an exceptional buying experience. She even helped us through the process of financing and insuring the boat to provide a real "turn-key" product. We have a little over a month or so to go, but we cannot wait to get on the water with our new home away from home and cannot express enough thanks to Dianne for making this happen and making the process very easy and relatively painless. We are very proud and happy to be new members of the Bassett Boating family!

I took it to it to another marina and they told me that this happened because all my 4 drain plugs oil and gear case oil plugs where finger tight and never tightened with a socket wrench and my seals where ripped and never changed which is mandatory when you do a Mercury tuned up. (see attached photo) I had sea water in both my engines and both my lower units. When I called the owner Don of Guilford boat yard to inform him of what happened he got really nasty and rude with me and told me I was on my own and didn't want anything to do with it.
