I was desperate to find a competent person to help me move a 37 foot boat from Lake Chautauqua. A…read morefriend recommended Jim Maloney of river oaks marina. This guy was amazing. The boat was improperly blocked by the marina on Chautauqua lake. Huge problem but Jim stuck to the task. It was amazing to see him work over 3 to 4 hours getting the impossible task solved and my boat on the road. He got it in the water without any problem. My highest praise for this professional and very competent man. The job turned out to be far more difficult than he anticipated. Despite many extra hours of work he asked for no additional charge other than the original agreed fee. I happily gave them a tip. More importantly if any and all of my friends need boat moving services I will recommend this fellow without the slightest hesitancy. He is 100% confident, professional and very nice to deal with.

Outstanding Boat Storage & Winterization - Above & Beyond Service!…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience storing my boat here! From the moment I first inquired, the manager was an absolute pleasure to deal with--knowledgeable, professional, and truly committed to making the entire process seamless. They didn't just offer storage; they provided peace of mind, which is exactly what every boat owner wants when entrusting their vessel to a facility for the winter. What truly sets them apart is their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. I was running behind on getting my boat properly covered before winter hit, and they noticed it before I even had a chance to worry about it. Instead of just letting my boat sit exposed to the elements, they took the initiative to ensure it was protected until I could get there--something I never expected but greatly appreciated. That level of care is rare in any business, let alone a storage facility! Beyond their incredible service, their pricing is unbeatable compared to other storage options in the area. There are no hidden fees or unnecessary add-ons--just straightforward, honest pricing for top-tier service. And when it comes to access, they make it effortless. Whenever I need to check on my boat or grab something from it, I never have any issues; they are always accommodating and make access simple. For anyone hesitant about storing their boat at a facility, I completely understand--security, exposure to the elements, and ease of access are always concerns. But this business checks every box: Secure, well-maintained facility - My boat was exactly as I left it, without a single worry about theft or damage. Winterization that goes the extra mile - They don't just offer storage; they make sure your boat is properly protected from harsh weather, saving you from costly damage in the long run. Customer-first approach - They notice the little things and take proactive steps to ensure your boat is cared for, even if you're not there to ask. Unmatched convenience - Whether it's storing, covering, or accessing my boat, they've made the entire process effortless. If you own a boat and need secure, reliable, and customer-focused storage, don't waste time looking anywhere else--this is the place to go! The level of service they provide is unmatched, and I will be recommending them to every boat owner I know. A huge thank you to the manager and the entire team for making this such a stress-free and outstanding experience. See you next season!

I called to schedule a drop off to have an issue diagnosed. This will run you $179 unless it takes longer than an hour. I was greeted by Jacob who was pleasant and informative.He guided me through the intake process including sending pictures and keeping me informed as to what the issue was.There were two options a temporary fix that may last a while but may not.I decided to go with the more expensive fix, as I have my family on the boat and don't want to take any chances. I needed a new gimbal bearing and new bellows ($2300).Jacob was there every step of the way.I had one issue and Jacob made sure to resolve it. They use an online system to keep you informed and also to bill you. I haven't put my boat in the water yet but will update when I do.Would recommend. Location is clean and well kept.

I have been a slip holder at Harbor Place Marina for about a decade…read moreIt wasn't the cheapest I could find but it was the closest to my house so the convenience factor offset the cost will never use Harbour place again 1-inaccurate invoicing. On Invoice # 1956WI I was billed for 5 gallons of antifreeze. I didn't authorize any winterization of the water system or head. I performed that myself. Initial thought was maybe the 5 gallons was poured atop the fluid I had already placed. and not being confrontational by nature I paid the invoice. Upon accessing the vessel in the spring of 2024 I found 5 gallons of RV antifreeze sitting in the aft cabin. could these be the 5 gallons I was invoiced for at $21.99 each? which I can get from walmart or amazon for less than $4.00 each. A 500% markup on a fluid never requested seems excessive. also tag placed on trailer by marina staff indicates no head or water system winterization was performed 2-"summerization" Marine personnel tried to upsell me "summarization" services. which included flushing water system of antifreeze , hooking up batteries, and providing and installing drain plug. My response was I can run faucets myself to flush the water system and other items were already included when placing the vessel into the slip by Harbour Place. Why would I pay for those items again? 3-inoperative tilt motor. marina personnel informed me that the tilt motor wasn't functioning and the outdrive was stuck in down position. I agree. the vessel is older and the Motor had been getting weaker, so It finally totally failing wasn't a surprise. What WAS a surprise is that I was informed of this issue after the boat was moved several times ( from lift to storage, can't say if it was moved to wrap it, and then from storage location to shop.) On its own trailer. Finally, I was informed that as a result of the failed tilt motor I would either have to get the motor replaced ( quoted at over $800 dollars) or pay additional fees to have the boat "carefully" moved from the shop to the lift point to avoid dragging/damaging the skag. Were all the other moves before now not careful? Boat was moved at least twice before ( lift to storage and storage to shop) no mention was ever made of the drive stuck tilt down. Finally was told there was an issue and it would be additional charges? 4-ship to shore cable Ever since we have had a vessel that uses a ship to shore cable, I have left that cable plugged in so batteries have the highest charge when marina personnel need to start the boat to navigate from the slip to the hoist point. Boat has a trickle charger that maintains Battery charge when supplied with shore power. Every previous season Harbor Place staff unplug the cable at both ends and throw the cable onto the vessels deck behind the cockpit. Not stowed below. just thrown on deck. OK, fine with me. This season when I first accessed the vessel the Ship to shore cable was no where to be found. It was not on the vessel's deck nor below . unsure if cable was left at dock and stolen by a third party, or if it was misplaced by staff, or something else, we will never know. Whatever the cause, the result is I now have to buy a new ship to shore cable. In addition, no longer offering onsite trailer storage to slip holder over the summer was an issue Haul out and put in HAD ALWAYS been performed by Harbor Place at no additional charge. I had presumed that put in and haul out were included with the slip rental. (which is why I figured there were less expensive slip rentals in the area) In all the years I had been at Harbor Place I was never invoiced or charged for put in or haul out. Call began cordially but when staff learned I had made other arrangements for wrapping and winter storage, tone seemed to change and I was informed haul out wasn't included in slip rental and I would have to pay for the service. When I questioned why those services had always been performed before at no additional charge previously and I was under the impression that those services were included in the slip rental I was told to "read the contract" I did. Yes the contact does not explicitly state haul out and put in are included with slip rental. But it also doesn't explicitly exclude those services either . Since Harbor Place performed those services at no additional charge since we became slip holders at the Marina, in my opinion, this established a standard of care and level of anticipated services a reasonable person would come to expect based on past history. I'm not a lawyer, only a dumb structural engineer licensed in 13 States, so I can't say if the contract language is airtight on this issue, but it is a moot point as we have made other arrangements going forward
