Great experience with a quality family owned business. I felt I was always working with boaters first, salesmen (and they were very knowledgeable) second.

Wow! Where should I startCheryl and I and had a flawless and enjoyable boat purchase. Ed Florentino was a wonderful guide. He took us through each model and option during the sales phase, answered questions, and made himself available during and after hours for questions. He was very helpful in the purchase phase with recommendations regarding insurance, maintenance time tables and how to prep as a boat owner. Sharma was the registration and financial guru. The delivery phase was by far the shining moment. We had to juggle around delivery days and time to accommodate hoist work in preparation

Ed in Sales provided his time and superior knowledge of Regal and boating to show us the ins/outs of our boat. We've been boating for almost 20 years and learned so many things. Ed is courteous, professional and a must have!
