I just bought a boat at Tri-State Marine in Annapolis. I had an incredible experience with Ron Young, the salesman. I had many questions and Mr. Young answered them all with just exactly what I needed in a boat. These people do great work, sell, and deliver great boats. The way they prepare a boat for delivery is well beyond what I expected. I feel so good about the boat I bought, and having them maintain it in the future. read more

Tri-State Marine - My new boat!! - Boat Repair Near Me - Deale, Maryland

Bought a brand new Grady white from them last year and upon closer inspection the boat actually had damage on it. I didn't notice it on delivery but the pictures I took on delivery day show that it was already there. Someone knew this at tristate and they totally bamboozled me. That is shady business practice! read more

I purchased my Parker from there and had them service it. Every time the service was very friendly and accommodating. Owning a boat and having it serviced is not like going to JiffyLube while you wait finding a certified mechanic and having them work for you is not easy and I sure appreciate the quality and timely service from Tristate. Thank You read more

I've been using Tr-State for servicing of my boats for about 15 years and I live about 1 hour and 45 minutes away. I've accepted their policy of no appointments just drop the boat off and they will get to it when the can. I've also paid what I feel is above market price for their service. I called to check the lead time for a 100 hour service and was told about a week. When I dropped the boat off the next morning it was now a week to week and a half lead time. Two days before the week and a half was up called to see where I was in the schedule and was told I was close. The guy got a bit rude when I asked for a better answer than "close" and said maybe tomorrow or the next day or possibly the following week and that he wouldn't make any guarantees. He did offer to take me off his schedule when I told him I was going to call around to see if another dealer could fit me in. At this point it was no longer acceptable for me to stay with a company that did not value me as a customer and doesn't appreciate customer loyalty so I said yes please take me off the schedule. I made an appointment with another authorized Yamaha dealer who will now be getting all of my business. Just a side note, this coming spring I will probably be buying a new $200k+ boat and was seriously considering their dealership. Now I will not be buying it from Tri-State. read more

I have been taking my old Yamaha 6 hp short shaft into Tri-State for years. Consistently, GREAT customer service -- it makes a difference to interact with friendly people. And, reasonable prices. I talk about Tri-State to all of my boating friends. read more

Think twice before you decide to broker your boat with Tri-State. Tried to make an offer on a brokerage boat today and was advised that b/c I was out of state, I would need to drive 8 hours to make the offer in person as brokered boats could not be sold without being physically present. Then was advised that they would make an exception - the rep agreed to take an offer to the owner. Rep then called back to say he was unable to present the offer to the boat owner as it was against company policy= this after just saying an exception would be made. I then asked "If I had offered a higher price were initially offered would it have been presented to the seller?" and was told "yes". Unbelievable!! A broker's has a responsibility to take all offers to the owner. It's called a negotiation for a reason-that was my initial offer. Very questionable business practices to say the least. Very Disappointed Potential Buyer read more

I took my boat in for bottom paint. When the fork lift guy set the boat back on the trailer he broke the bumper board. The clerk called to tell me that my bumper board was rotten and that they could fix it for only $180. I refused because it was a new trailer and there was no rot. When I looked at it it became obvious the the boat had been placed incorrectly. When I complained, they offered me a new bumper board which was 8 inches too short. These guys are liars and cheats. read more

I have been struggling with our University to get our Motor boat repaired. As many know dealing with the financial departments of a College is never easy. This company has worked with us and around our difficulties. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great service and reliable work! read more

I have been working with Tri-State for about ten years. I have never found a more reputable or trustworthy boat dealer in Maryland or Delaware. I had my boat serviced there one season and it ran better when I picked it up, then when I bought it! And I have worked with Billy Gay and Ron Young on selecting a Parker boat and they have been a pleasure to deal with (even though I ultimately bought my first boat elsewhere). I highly recommend Tri-State Marine! read more

I made a fair offer on a used boat and trailer in which Tristate owned and they accepted. Robert Warren was my sales consultant. His knowledge of the vessel, engine and features as well as communication / promptness was excellent. I had a small issue after the point of sale which was immediately handed at no charge. I recommend Tristate and Mr. Warren very much. read more
