Dropped off our boat at the end of the season in October 2022. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen…read morecircumstances we were not able to retrieve it in early spring as usual. I reached out to Bill on July 24th and advised I needed to register the boat. He said to call next day, and he could meet at the boat landing. I called on the 25th - he said he was mistaken and couldn't do it that day and to call him Wednesday. I called Wednesday, and Thursday and received no response. Friday, my boyfriend called. Bill answered and told him the boat would not start - said there was "no spark". My boyfriend advised him we were heading south on Sunday, but he would be back the following weekend with a bunch of guys and would like to have it. Bill said he would look at it and asked him to call him the following Wednesday. He did (in the morning) and Bill said he hadn't looked at it yet and to call at the end of the day. That call, as well as my call and text went with no response. My boyfriend called Thursday morning and again, no answer. I called Thursday afternoon and Bill answered. I advised I was checking on the status of the boat. He said, "I haven't figured it out yet". I said "ok". He said, "I'll let you know when I do". I asked, "do you know when that will be". He said "no". I then asked if there was a problem and if he didn't want to do it. He said, "I looked at it and haven't figured it out yet, if you want to get it and take it somewhere else, have at it". I responded that we have been very patient, and he has not been communicating. He said (with a sigh) "Listen" and then hung on me like a coward rather than talking to me like a man. He then had the audacity, when my boyfriend tried calling him three times the following morning, to text him and say that I was rude and to come get the boat off his property. He hung up on me, but I was rude... Later that morning, my boyfriend went to get the boat as requested, however, Bill nor the boat were anywhere to be found and attempts to reach him were ignored. I text Bill and told him he had an hour to get to the shop and produce the boat he told us to get off of his property or I would call the police. He didn't respond right away, but when he did his simple response was "Good luck". In the meantime, I reached out to the police who were more than happy to help. In a short amount of time, I was advised by the Deputy that he contacted Bill, and he said he would have the boat at the shop ready to be pulled out of there by 2pm the next day (August 5th). It was there and we now have the boat just shy of two weeks after first contact. It's a shame because we have dealt with him for many years. But clearly loyalty and professionalism are not his strong suit or even in his wheelhouse. I understand if someone is having a bad day, but clearly, he decided he didn't want to deal with the issue, or couldn't because he's incapable, and didn't have the guts or common decency to let us know. Based on the reviews I have since researched, I shouldn't be surprised. I guess we were fortunate the place didn't burn down as it did several years ago. We are happy to be taking our business elsewhere. And those of you considering services here should do the same.

It's taken me a little time to decide if I should write this review or not. What led me to write it…read morewas Facebook. More specifically, the Maine Boat Rental Facebook page. I'll get back that in a bit. I rented the boat I'm writing about from August 15-17, 2025. First I want to tell you what happened and I will provide facts supported with pictures Maine Boat Rental provided me (actually a video of the boat before I took possession and several pictures showing the damage they claimed I caused). After returning the boat, I received an e-mail on 26 August stating, "This email is to confirm a one-time charge in the amount of $251.74 has been successfully completed. The reason for this charge was $26.74 GAS FILL, $175 BENT BIMNI ROD SCRATCHES ON REAR AND FRONT OF BOAT, $50 ADMIN FEE FOR CC FOR SECURITY DEPOSIT and is associated with your reservation CC A5L-GDV. If you have any questions, please contact Maine Boat Rental at [207-313-6248] and we will be happy to assist you." I immediately called them and they said the Bimini rod was bent and there was damage to the hull of the boat. I asked them to send me the video/pics and they did. Me being me, I looked at the pictures and then watched the video (the one taken before I rented the boat). I ended up doing screen-shots of the video. I compared the screen shots with the damage they said I did, then put an Adobe pdf file together to send them showing that EVERY scratch, gouge, bent rod, etc., was already on the boat. I sent that file to Maine Boat Rental and asked when I was going to get my refund. About a week later I received an e-mail from Nichoal that said, "After spending a lengthy amount of time comparing videos and pictures, I have found that the bimni bar was bent badly during your rental and the cost of replacing that is over $1,200. I have also found that there are in fact new scratches on the boat the worst of them down to the fiberglass and will require a in-depth patching process to ensure water intrusion will not happen in the future." I asked her if she saw the Adobe pdf file I sent her and she hadn't (remember, she claimed to have spent a "lengthy amount of time comparing videos and pictures" - obviously not looking at their own Facebook page). I again sent the file which clearly shows the damage they charged me for was already on the boat. Once she realized I did my due diligence, she immediately refunded my $175 in damages. Now, what caused me to write this review. I was looking at other reviews and their Facebook page. Facebook has 2 pictures showing their ski boats all docked together (posted on July 17, 2025). The last boat (farthest from the picture taker) is the boat I rented. In that picture, taken almost a month before I rented the boat, is the bent Bimini rod. The bend in the bar clearly matches the damage picture they sent me. That was the icing on the cake. How many renters have been charged for this Bimini rod they claim is over $1200? I have yet to find a Bimini top for more than $500 but that's not the point. The point is unsuspecting renters are renting from Maine Boat Rental and probably getting charged for damage that was already there. They probably charged every person that rented this particular boat, July 17 through now, for that damage. Pretty crappy way to try and get more money from people. I mean, $1000 for a 3-day rental isn't enough? I just caution you, if you're planning on renting a boat from them, to take pictures of every bit of damage (bent rods, scratches, prop damage on the engine, etc.). In fact, make sure the person from Maine Boat Rental dropping off the boat is in those pictures so they can see you took them before you got the boat not after the fact. The pictures I've posted - higher resolution pictures = damage they said I caused / lower resolution pictures = screen shots I took from their video before I got the boat. For the record, I did rent from them (I am Sean M on the contract and fuel receipt).
