Sandy Hook Yacht Sales - How did you guys block this review from public view? I noticed it is only visible on my account, not on the greater internet. I'll have to post this in other places!I was going to purchase a SeaFox 268 from this dealer at the AC boat show. When I brought up prices from other SeaFox dealers, the owner promised I’d never get any SeaFox service from them if I didn’t buy from them. I mentioned another boat pricing, which Dan interrupted me to again state I’d never get service from him, but that boat was another brand (Nauticstar) from another local NJ dealer. At that moment, I walked away and never looked back. The sales person, while accidentally showing me the ‘cost’ sheet instead of msrp and the VP of sales from SeaFox were both great. My wife and kids loved the SeaFox, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy from someone who would think that a threat would motivate me to be their customer. Later that day I bought a Sea Hunt Ultra 265.

This was definitely a superior experience to most boat brokers. Refreshingly honest and competitive, with a wide range of brands. I found Sandy Hook when they opened up their Brick location in 2023. Brian Marangi met me at the marina, and built my list of must haves. He matched me with a 2024 Regal and got me a phenomenal deal. Brian and the SHYS team earned a repeat customer for sure!

Brian Marangi from sandy hook yachts found me exactly the boat I have been looking for for 6 months He followed up on every detail and got me a price better than I expected. He has been the best boat broker I have worked with in my 40 years of boating. Robert sammarco

Called and emailed for service since they are an authorized StarCraft dealer. The service manager got back to me via email. I requested a tech check my pontoon to find out what was wrong and what was needed. I was told someone would be out that week. After 2 weeks of waiting I reached back out and was told the tech was sick. Someone would be out this week. After 4 weeks, no one has come to see the boat. I even reached out to StarCraft Marine to ask them to "poke" the dealer. Still nothing. 6 weeks and not even a phone call, email, carrier pigeon...nothing. Do not use.

Great experience dealing with Dennis Mercer on the purchase of a Grady 335 Freedom! My neighbor and I decided to partner on this purchase and Dennis was always quick to respond to all questions from both of us. Dennis proved to a real SOLUTIONS PROVIDER during this transaction. Delivery day was first class. Boat was spotless….AC on…cooler full of ice…..and a great demo of Electronics and Systems. 5 Star Service! Thank you!

Can’t say anything better about the entire team at SHYS. They sold my boat in a few short months and the entire process was smooth and painless. From the first call I made to them down to the closing date everything was professional, clearly explained, and fair. A+ and I’ve already recommended multiple friends to use their services

Sandy Hook Yacht Sales focuses on the satisfaction of each client, one at a time. Current brands that are sold here are Sabre Yachts, Back Cove, Regal, Southport, Sea Fox, Starcraft Pontoons and Grand and Highfield Inflatables. They also do a great job with brokerage boats, both sail and power.

As a first time boat buyer I placed my trust with Sandy Hook and purchased a pre-owned brokered boat prior to last summer. Overall it was an okay experience with lingering issues (ie incorrectly wired instrument panel, rusted gimbal bearings). That being said, the 3rd party inspector could have been more thorough and shame on me for not having independent representation.

Kelly and I would like to thank Dan, Larry and the whole staff at SHYS. What started as a normal boat show purchase in September 2022 has ended today in April 2023 with the closing on our new SeaFox 248 Commander. Our first boat met an untimely demise due to a hurricane last October, a story to long for this review, but the crew at Sandy Hook took care of everything. These guys know the meaning of customer service. If you are in the market for a boat you cannot do any better than SHYS. See you all at the new building.Thanks again,John & Kelly Dechert

I met SHYS at the NJ Convention Center Show and then at the AC Boat show a few weeks later. I was greeted with a smile and the entire process has been great. Purchased a 228 Commander as the first boat for our family. I worked with James, Dan, and Craig. We plan to boat all over NJ and they seemed to be a service oriented company more than the other we were considering.

An overall great dealership to work with. They have a very friendly team of staff that aim to get your deal done right. They also provide their customers service on the boats they purchase so you aren’t forgotten once your deal is done. They truly are the best around.

Five stars for Sandy Hook Yacht Sales and 10 stars for my sales person David Kingdon. The closing on my purchase took a few weeks as the seller was out of the country. Dave was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, even though it took longer than usual. I can't think of a single time someone didn't answer or at least call me back within an hour or so. Dave had excellent communication and was on top of everything. Thanks for a hassle free transaction.

Many thanks to Daniela, Dan, Frank, Bob and of course Drew(Who took us novices out and about on the water), for all their help and support! They helped us through the entire process including boating safety courses. They are a warm and professional team/family and we look forward to many years of a continued positive relationship that will be valuable in enhancing our boating experiences!
