This was such an amazing experience!! I bought this deal off of Groupon which had expired since I…read morebought it in the winter time but the owner still allowed me to accept the voucher and use it at a later time whatever was convenient for me. The owner is Captain Hess, he is extremely accommodating, friendly, experienced and a great sailor!! Capt Hess gives out directions, instructions and words to study before coming to sail just so you have basic knowledge of some key words that are used while sailing. I really walked into this not know what it would be like. Capt Hess walks you through absolutely everything. Some times I would get scared but he was extremely comfortable and would put us at ease because he knew exactly what to do. I learned so much about sailing and I would love to do it again!! We learned so much and really credit sailors because it is a lot of work! A lot of science goes into this, balance, strength and patience. Loved it!! He has water available if you don't have or forget. He also allowed small snacks on board. Don't forget to wear closed shoes and apply sunscreen before your sail! I would recommended everyone to try this!!

Fantastic! My hubby & I went on an excursion with Captain Eric via Jersey Shore Sailing a few weeks…read moreago. We used a Groupon, which was a great deal. We took a sunset sail, which was so amazing! Eric is a fun & friendly guide and he teaches guests how to take the wheel. It was a relaxing and enjoyable way to enjoy the Toms River at sunset! We highly recommend it!

I purchased a 2022 Pontoon boat from NJ Outboards. On delivery day, The owners were on vacation,…read moreand a few items I thought came with the boat, weren't included. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, all were away, and their staff was unable to help correct my issues. Frustrated by this, the situation became heated to say the least. Long story short, The following day one of the owners contacted me, and ensured me that he would correct everything, and make sure I was happy with my purchase. To say the least, they did everything they promised, and were extremely professional throughout the process. Thank you for the extra effort, and excellent Customer Experience.

All you NJ Sea Hunt owners, beware!!! NJ Outboards is the…read moreworst. They had my boat for warranty issues, had no choice to bring it to them or haul it to LI or MD. The weekend prior to them picking it up, the motor went. Yes, a 2024 Yamaha f200 with 60 hrs on it went. It was filled with water. Anyway long story short, they had my boat for over a month, didn't take care of the issues that they were initially there for. And the motor took well over the 8hrs Craig Estelle, the service manager claimed it would take. it actually took over 10 days. When I get the boat back, it's all messed up. They destroyed 5 panels of sea deck, didn't do repairs, and my motor trim isn't working properly, or the gauge. To top it off Paul Gioe, the owner, blocks my emails. I sent all the managers an email demanding the repairs to be made. And Paul calls me and tells me " We are not working on your boat. You are no longer allowed to bring your boat here. We are not dealing with a Philadelphia wise guy." He also claimed the boat looked like that when they got it. And he has pictures. But he would not send me them. "I don't need to prove you anything." This is how they react when they mistreat customers property, and the customer wants it made right. Such a circus act over there. Just be careful. Yes this is my second review on the place, but I didn't take my own advice and go to Long Island or MD.

We have had our boat at Dillon's Creek for 7 years now, under both the old and new owner. The…read morecurrent owner cares deeply about the marina experience for all, runs a tight ship and improves the property with regularity whether it be landscaping, security or connectivity. The staff also works hard to make the experience seamless. We are completely happy with our time there and enjoy the social events. I must mention the incredible mechanics on site. We have learned the hard way that our boat has mechanical design flaws but these men innovate and create solutions for the various problems. They are so knowledgeable while being courteous and neat. Our boat is in the best possible hands.

Dillion's Creek marina is Beautiful!! Great location, clean restrooms, a pump out that does not…read morework well, and amazing views! All for $180 plus per foot (which includes all the "hidden" fees). Ok let's get to the hidden truth. The old owner Brian was hated by EVERYONE! And they kept his son employed which has similar business practices! Like Father like son! So we got a new owner! Elliot! spoiled daddy's boy.. The expression "lipstick on a pig" has never been more truthful. He belittled this 20-year-old kid in a parking lot over parking his JetSki temporarily waiting for his father to show up, over July 4th weekend. Mind you, his family has 3 slips at the marina for 10 years. He was very aggressive with me as well! (I will leave my Personal opinion of him and his wife to myself). He bores the slip holders to death with his own drunken stories every night, but they all are too polite to say anything but will talk shit behind his back all day! Elliot - go find friends! There are 2 females (Can't say ladies) that talk meanly about kids every time the kids are around and having fun. At the pool they act like they own the place!! you two know who you are! If you don't like being around children and complain about them, then simply leave! Rude! Other people there enjoy seeing children having fun. Mind you, there are only 10 kids, at the most that frequent the facilities. They sell you on family place my butt.... They have signs everywhere "dogs on leash" but they don't put their own dog on a leash!! Practice what you Preach! FAKE NEWS! Four reviews on this site are fake from employees and his mother! Let's move on! I went into the marina office asking for help with one of my boats safety issues and his wife, Karen, forgot to inform her husband in a timely fashion which caused huge issues. The son of the old owner who I spoke with directly in the service department would not help me for over 3 weeks after informing him I was going on a trip because he was too busy with Formula warranty service work. I attempted to bring in a sub, as per the agreement prior to the new owner, and was denied and told to my face that they changed the policy, without putting it in writing or an email to the slip holders. I have Cummings diesel's! You'd be mad not to use Chuck from CB Marine and they would not allow him on the property even after he's been there many times servicing other peoples boats for 15 years. FYI you can bring your boat for the day or week and use anybody you want at Lighthouse point marina to fix your boat! Just call ahead and ask for Carmen. That's where I moved my boat! They have a real pool not that tiny over sized hot tub with horrible hours, it closes at 4 pm on the weekend. They blame it on insurance!! ANOTHER LIE. I have owned two insurance agencies and I know commercial insurance! They rob you in the service department any chance they get. Do not get your boat serviced there! One example is a friend on the dock asked for a full detail they quoted him $2100. To begin with, that is more money than anyone should pay for a 38 foot boat. Just a polish!! After the boat was put in the water he received a bill for $700 more. . I got my boat done for 1,200 and my boat is 7 feet longer with a bridge! This is the most common problem with this marina. Another example is using an employee to install complicated radar equipment and charging them $3000 and it still doesn't work till this day. No refund or compensation for anything and they broke his boat! Amazing bad service. I have more but running out of space! Here is a perfect example.. the owner told all the boaters you cannot Wash your boat on the ground before you launch. They won't let you use water there.. look at the law in NJ! Open the link below!! https://www.nj.gov/dep/njcleanmarina/docs/boatrinsingpolicy.pdf Another up charge scam!! I personally can't wait for the COVID boaters to sell and this marina will be the best day boaters marina in history! All true and I can't wait to hear the bull crap response from bobble head!
