I've been a customer of Nautical Marine for two years now, ever since purchasing my first boat, and…read moreI can't recommend Michael and the team highly enough. As a complete novice to boating, I had *a lot* of questions--from basic maintenance to navigation tips--and they've been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and quick to respond every single time. What stands out most is their genuine commitment to customer care. Whether it's a quick phone call, a walk-in visit, or follow-up after service, they treat you like family. Michael, in particular, has gone above and beyond to make sure I'm confident and safe on the water. If you're looking for a dealership that combines great inventory with outstanding support--especially for first-time boaters--Nautical Marine is the gold standard. Thanks again to the whole team!

I visited this location a couple of years ago hoping to be a first time boat owner. I was looking…read moreat a Barletta which is a six-figure tritoon. I had two visits and traded multiple emails as we agreed upon the options I wanted on the boat. That all happened quickly and took probably less than 1 to 1.5 weeks as I had researched all of this online. When we went to say "we're ready" and let's finalize the deal, they said they would longer honor that price and increased the price by over $25,000 saying they were afraid Barletta "might" increase the pricing before the boat was delivered. I ended up getting Barletta involved and they were disappointed in the handling of this by the dealer and told me that they have not raised the price of any boat on any ordered boat even as they went through COVID. I gave the dealership one last opportunity to honor the original quote, and they would not. I ended up going out of state and ordered the exact same boat with all of the agreed upon terms at the exact same original price from the out of state dealer. That dealer even meets me half-way when I want them to do service on the boat and we just trade our trailer on to their truck. Well worth it given the way we were treated. I would never visit this location again.

I had planned to buy a Mercury 250hp outboard for my boat from them, they let me know about what it would cost and when they could do it. I was told if I brought my boat to them on Monday the 15th of march it would be read that Wednesday no later than Friday, so I toke it to them on Friday the 12th because i had to work that Monday and all that week. I gave them a deposit and signed a paper for them to do the work. Then they started coming up with a bunch of different excuses for why it hadn't been done yet and then decided not to do it. Had to go down this morning 3/27/2021to pick it up. The people there are nothing more than liars. Whatever you do do not go to them for anything that has to do with your boat. Buy nothing from them.

This exception is not…read morebased on random experiences, rather a 20+ year history of having Rob fix all the stuff that naturally needs attention to a heavily used 29-year-old boat (1994 MasterCraft), AND our son's MasterCraft. For brevity, I'll simply provide a list of what I know about Rob: Tangibles: - Great mechanic - Knows boats - power, performance, history of quirks/tendencies - Dependable - what he commits to, he delivers Intangibles: - Memory (beyond boats) is uncanny - years ago I stopped saying, "you work on a lot of boats so I wouldn't expect you to remember..." I stopped because he remembers your name, boat and what he has done to it. - Knows the Lake - Very careful/mindful of your boat while it's in his care - ex: he takes off his shoes when in your boat. Who does that? - Honest/trustworthy - I don't know if it's instinctual or purposeful, but he gets it. The only way to be successful for as long as he has; ya gotta be honest & trustworthy.

Rob obviously has a heart for helping people, and he's wonderful to work with. There have been multiple occasions where our boat had a problem and Rob solved it quickly, easily, and gave us multiple options to stay within our means. Some friends on another lake always joke that BOAT stands for "Break Out Another Thousand", but here at Lake Anna we get to say, "Bring On Another Thing to Rob and get it done RIGHT!"

Smooth Sailing For Selling My Boat With Commonwealth…read more I had a great experience with Commonwealth Boat Brokers. They sold my boat for me and got exactly the price I was hoping for. Marc was outstanding to work with throughout the entire process--he kept me in the loop with regular updates about showings and potential buyers, and he was always easy to reach if I had questions. I had SO much trouble trying to sell the boat myself. When I listed it on Boat Trader, all I got was spammers and fake interest. It wasted my time and money! I tried to print flyers and post them at marinas in my area in Virginia, but didn't get any interest, and this also wasted my time and money. Commonwealth Boat Brokers is professional, efficient, and trustworthy, they took care of everything and made it easy for me. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.

I called Lake Country spoke with Jacob and the rest was easy sailing. I work long hours so having a salesperson I can trust was priceless.

Which would've been fine if we didn't pick up a boat that was extremely dirty and cover in mold. The boat was clean when it was dropped off.

I wouldn't recommend using them if you're trying to sell anything.

Garrett's Marina is top notch; if you want to be treated like you are part of a family than come to…read moreGarrett's for your boating needs. Here's some background on our experience. My wife and I bought a boat from Louis and Sonia in spring 2019 and we are very thankful that we did. When we decided that we wanted to buy a boat, one of our requirements was to buy a boat from someone that we could trust and someone that would continue to be there for us after we bought a boat. Obviously buying the right type of boat was the most important, but since we are first time boaters this was important to us. One day my family decided that we check out key west boats at Garrett's. Up until this point we had been looking at every dealership in the area and wanted a center console boat, narrowed it down to a few models. We spent a entire day at the marina looking at boats, did a sea trial, and ended up buying a key west center console. During the entire sales process, Louis was a straight shooter. He went over everything about our boat, what we need and don't need and what not to waste our money on. The boat buying process was simple and Louis and Sonia took care of us during the entire process. The day we picked up our boat we did a sea trial and Louis went over everything about the boat. I felt comfortable and later that day we drove our boat out of the marina and continue to love our key west! I still call and email Louis all the time with questions and he promptly returns my phone calls, even after hours!!!! Highly recommend that you come to Garrett's for the following: buying boats, boat service needs, and boat storage. If you want to be treated like family than come to Garrett's.

NEVER, EVER take your boat to these idiots!! Please heed my…read morewarning because you may pay dearly (money, time, aggravation) otherwise. There are plenty of competent boat shops out there, but this is not one of them. They have had our boat since May..... And they still have the boat (now September) - that's the entire 2025 summer waiting for them to fix a simple small oil leak. The boat was running when it went in, but apparently no longer runs. We did pay quite a large sum of money to briefly discover (in July) that the boat wouldn't run at all, even after they "water tested" it before we picked it up. So, back to the shop the boat went, and still remains today. We have never received a call to discuss diagnosis of the problem or plans for repair. The last conversation was today when i CALLED THEM and was told the engine is basically shot. So from a functioning boat to a blown engine under their watch. How happy would you be? How satisfied with their knowledge and customer service with would you be? Just some things to consider before you consider using them. And consider these things very carefully before you entrust your boats, etc to these incompetent people. I have a strong feeling we will be seeing them in small claims court very soon.

While most boat salesmen would have given me a few details and told me to come see for myself, the owner, Chris, went over the boat with a fine tooth comb telling me every minor scratch or issue. We even negotiated the sales price prior to my drive down there. Everything was exactly as he described it. The boat and motor (which they had tuned up prior to selling) run great. I as so impressed with their customer service, honesty, and Chris' knowledge of boats and motors that I took it back for installation of some electronics. Couldn't recommend these people higher. Well worth the drive.
