We had been looking for a fishing boat and came across Tidewaters a few years ago and were talking to a dealer in NJ. Luckily I came across Blue Marlin Boats on the web and took a ride to meet with Angelo. A gentleman and professional. I am in sales so I knew what to expect; well it didnt happen. A very matter of fact man I know what I wanted and he knew how to satisfy our needs. I couldnt ask for anything more his crew did the installation, boat was prepped correctly and on time. This is the 220 cc rides great, takes the wind and waves with the help of the trim tabs spray is nonexistent even on a windy day. Tidewater advertises a porta potty in the center console, may work good for a child adults need to be very flexible. Fixed that by putting it under the seat in the bow when mixed company is aboard.As you can see, it catches fish. Thanks Angelo, Luci and staff!

In todays world its rare to find an honest salesperson but Angelo is not your average salesman. He really does care and is a pleasure to work. I purchased a used Tidewater from him and he acted as if if were a brand new boat. I was impressed by the professionalism of him and his staff.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and salesman Bill was great. Showed us multiple boats, very honest. Took the time to make suggestions regarding the type of boat that we should purchase based on our wish list as my husband and I do not agree. They actually had a decent inventory of used boats in every price range. We have been to many places and really appreciate the time Bill took with us. Will definitely be back.

Angelo is a true pleasure to deal with. Love my new Tidewater

We bought a 210 CCTidewater late last seasonWe were going back and forth and finally decided to get a “beginners boat” to start our new adventures. Angelo and his staff helped us from the first step going way and beyond to have the boat ready for us to use before my son went to college. He has kept his word 100% on everything he told us !!! This season he was able to get the boat to us earlier than expected and continues to show his true character honesty and loyalty. When we bought the boat he said “ I’m here for you guys I’ll always be here to help you guys “ he has kept his word. This is where you want to buy your boat no sales BS. They care it’s as simple as that. Lucy and the entire staff always make us feel like family. I’d like to think we got more than a boat we made life long friends.

Angelo and the Blue Marline crew took great care of me and my family during our purchase of a Tide Water boat. From start to finish, we were always taken care of. Honest and fair. I highly recommend!

This is exactly how a business should be run. Angelo, luci, and everyone at blue marlin are nothing short of a dream to deal with. Kind, patient, friendly, and above all, helpful. Never would I have though I could find people who were so accommodating and helpful. Me and my fiancé bought our first boat at blue marlin the other day and we will be lifetime customers! Angelo is a gentleman and a stand up guy. Thank you blue marlin!

I was interested in buying a new boat and trying to find out if they would take a trade in or broker my current boat When I was at there site unfortunately the person I needed to talk to was just coming back from vacation the next day and was told he would contact me. Two days later I followed up by email (I understand what can be waiting for someone after being on vacation after all so I have him some time to dig out). I was then assured, by him that he’d reach out to me the next morning 1st thing even afternoon I offered for him to take another day or so (trying to mana get my own expectations) Well that was over a month now or close to it and I’m still waiting for that phone call I guess they don’t need or want my business which is good because the aren’t going to get it.

Visited the marina on a Sunday evening with my wife to look at a Searay. We saw a 27 ft Sailfish we both liked. I called the next morning but no one called me back. I called again and the sales women who answered the phone could not have been nastier!

Best experience you can have

Was comparing Tidewaters to Sportsman boats and Sea hunts..Angelo is great with the comparisons. Not only did he state the positives of Tidewater, he did not bash the other brands but explained why the Tidewater would benefit me rather than the other ones. The Carolina hull was a huge detail that made my decision.. read up on other reviews before coming here and I couldnt agree more that he made us feel like family.

I’ve known Angelo for years and I’ve purchased a boat from him and he’s sold a boat for me. I’ve found Angelo and his entire staff to be honest and fair in their words and actions. Highly recommended

We were at the boat show in Manhattan deciding on a boat for my husband and I. My husband wanted a center console. We were set on a Cobia, Robalo or Sea Hunt. Sea Hunt won. Leaving the boat show we came across a gorgeous boat, that I instantly fell in love with! It was a Tidewater. The Salesman Angelo at closing time said come on board. Extremely nice, professional and knowledgeable. We had already set eyes on the Sea Hunt. Angelo, advised, it was a great boat Sea Hunts and then explained the Tidewater in great detail. He never pushed us into buying his boat. He said think about over dinner. We ate at Uncle Jacks steak house contemplating which boat. Back and forth pros & cons. Which one?? Week or two later we visit with Angelo again never once pushed us into a sale. We looked over the boat again and again. The Tidewater won! Bought the boat! Angelo paid for our dinner at the steakhouse as a thank you and has made our boat decision a great experience. He and his wonderful family were a pleasure to do business with. They satisfied all our needs & questions. They are a wonderful crew and we made the right choice! Compliments all summer on the the boat and it runs amazing! The best summer ever! Fishing and luxury is what the boat offered us! We are one extremely happy customer. Thank you Angelo for everything even dinner and replacing the cushion we lost at no cost. You are a gem!

Awesome dealership. Owner is honest and fair, a great guy! Excellent place to buy your next new or used boat!

All excuses via email late at night... Not worth for me doing business with this kind of unprofessionalism. You being warned...

I bought my first boat here and the marina owner was extremely professional and friendly. He made my first boat purchase experience very positive. I will always come back to Blue Marlin for repairs and my next purchase.

Had a great experience purchasing a Tidewater boat from Angelo and his staff.It was a hassle free experience.

Stopped in a couple of days ago and immediately greeted with an attitude. The male salesman seemed he could not be bothered and instructed me to wait outside for a few minutes while he collected some numbers. I remained outside for more than 20 minutes only to watch this individual get in his truck and drive off. He clearly saw me standing around waiting for him and did not so much acknowledge me. I went back in the store and was told he needed to address an issue at their other store. He could not even take a second to interact with me and found him to be very arrogant. I will now look for Tidewater boats elsewhere

Angelo, Nikki, and Luci were great in getting my new boat in the water. Prepped, painted, xtras installed, a real class act

Great selection of boats, my salesman Bill was knowledgeable and showed me the boats that fit my style, needs, and budget--not the boats he wanted me to buy. They obviously care about their customers and their reputation.

Not bad except I didnt have any money to buy one

Look elsewhere if you seek an honest broker to sell your boat. . . . . Angelo ripped us off for several thousand dollar by claiming that the purchaser demanded certain items be repaired/cleaned, which he billed us for. Found out after the fact the the new owner did not make the requests NOR were the services that I was billed for actually performed. He is a shameful scam artist.

Good working

Great place! Fair and friendly for a first time buyer.

Wonderful folks and helpful in our decision to purchase our boat

Family Owned Business, professional and friendly. Very positive experience purchasing boat and in the store South Shore Marine for boating merchandise.
