I am not sure what they would be like in the off season but when I bought my boat there in June of this year they seemed like reasonable people to deal with. I am usually a very patient person so this helped, as they were quite busy.

Once you have decided which boat you want you need to be very specific with the people at Shipwreck if you want any extras and the details. They probably will not offer to sell you any extra item unless you tell them they should.

They seem quite willling to negotiate on price, but other details are a bit lacking. Make sure your boat is how you want it down to the smallest detail before you leave the property with it.

The service is not the greatest. They will get it done properly if you keep explaining it to them (Patience is key) just takes a lot longer than what I am used to. Be prepared to take care of smaller maintenace items yourself.

Like most of the businesses these days they are very short of qualified people who know how to do the work properly.

If you are looking for a fishing boat PM me and I will give you the salesman's name.

They are nice when you buy the boat but service is non existant.
I could not even get the service manager to return my calls.

Never again

actually we bought our boat there 2 years ago and have never had any bad experiences since, theyve always been great to deal with.
