Newer boater to the area-stopped into the store on land-very impressed with the staff and their help and knowledge in products and welcoming me to the area. Very kind.

It had been quite a while since I've been here ever since I found a new job and no longer work in Blawnox. I have faint memories of enjoying their wings and happy hour specials. The view itself it's much, you get the river and the yachts which is nice. Their lunch menu is simple and cheap, but it hit the spot. I should've stuck to a beer as their tap soda was flat. Our waitress was attentive though and we had a pleasant meal on a hot summer day.

Brought my Mercury outboard jet to their shop a couple of weeks ago to have the shift cable replaced. I go to take the boat out yesterday for the first time since being in the shop and the remote won't shift out of neutral into forward at all. There is absolutely no way their technician tested the shifter. My buddy and I spent an hour at the ramp adjusting the cable like Fox Chapel should have before calling it done. I'm out $300 and an hour of my time. I called them today to let them know of the mistake and Mike Burnside acted as if it didn't bother him one bit. Won't be going

Feel like you are on vacation! On the water with live bands, indoor and outdoor bars and plenty of seating and sunning! Jules was our excellent server and food is good bar food. Highly recommend!

Great place for anything boat and yacht related. Mr Maxwell has a fantastic operation going here...from new and used watercraft, parts and service, docking and storage, clubhouse, facilities, pool, food, bar...this is the real deal. Best on the three rivers, bar none.

Terrible maintenance department! They did not get permission to do the work, then charged a ridiculous amount, and the boat did not work! Reviewing the parts charging they double charged us for several parts, then after they claimed to have fixed it - we found eve more parts double charged. After a second trip back the boat still didn't work. Stay away from the service department!
