Harborside Marine Sales and Service - Englewood, Florida

We purchased a new Splendor deck boat from Harborside. Great experience. Dealt mostly with Larry, who always had the answer to our questions and he always got back to me quickly through the purchase process. David and Donnie both helped us including a great training session on the water. If our Splendor ever needs repair or service we'll bring it here. They are a trustworthy and legit business

My wife and I were in the market for a new boat and we shopped around the greater Englewood area. We were not impressed and almost gave up on the idea when a friend suggested Harborview. We walked in and met with the owner Larry Freshmen. We were unannounced and had no appointment, but Larry spent a couple of hours with us. He show us his yard and discussed all of the various types, models, new, and used boats. We decided to purchase a new NauticStar 211 Hybrid. The process was made easy. On the day we took possession of the boat, Casey and Cody took care of us. They took us out on the bay, and spent the day training us on the entire boat. Launching, recovering, trailer ops, controls, special systems, etc. It was a much appreciated teaching day, especially considering we just expected to simply be given the keys! Everyone at Harborside from the techs, parts, ownership, and ops people were top notch. They were kind, professional, offered great advice, and were thorough. The best part was they all told me to call them if I ever needed help 24/7. Everyone from the owner on down the chain gave me their contact information and encouraged me to lean on them if necessary.

About a month later we had a minor accident at a local public ramp and caused damage to our trailer. We needed help. It was very late in the afternoon on a busy Saturday and Harborside was closed for the weekend. I called Cody on his personal phone and he picked up on the first ring. I explained the problem to him and he directed me to take the boat directly to the shop. Cody told me not to worry and gave me security gate code access to the Harborside yard. He allowed us to use the facility to flush the engine, and clean up the boat. Really! Who does that?

On Monday morning I arrived at Harborside and they were already working on my boat! I was greeted by Dave who discussed the repairs process and Larry came outside to ensure we were being taken care of. Their intent was to have the trailer repaired and back in my hands that day so I could get back on the water! I could not have been more pleased. All of the staff at Harborside go out of their way to ensure their customers are taken care of. I could not be happier to have this organization behind me. We are truly blessed to have purchased from Harborside and would suggest anyone in the market to do the same.

I bought a new Suzuki Motor for my Key Largo and told them I would put it in myself, they were very attentive throughout the whole process. Any questions or problems I encountered throughout the process they were there to help and get everything worked out properly. If you’re looking to get your boat repaired, a new motor put on, or just basic questions about anything marine related these people are the guys to go to. Couldn’t be happier with the end result.

I have been searching for an ideal fishing boat for the past four years, exploring various locations and websites to find one that is both suitable and affordable for my family. I would like to express my gratitude to Donnie at Harborside Marina Sales, who assisted me in finding the perfect boat. He thoroughly explained its operations, provided essential maintenance instructions, and ensured I felt confident in my purchase. Thank you, Donnie; my family and I are thrilled with our new boat.

The process was quick and efficient. I gave my salesperson, Donnie, a list of qualities and must haves for my next boat. He listened and showed me several options but let me and my wife determine which was best for us with no pressure. He was very knowledgeable. The dealership overall is very responsive to our needs and delivered the boat ready to go. He also sold my old boat in less than two weeks. I’ve got a “boat guy” and his name is Donnie.

Donnie was super awesome when I came in to look at a new Silverwave pontoon, I was ready to buy but he insisted on a sea trial to make sure I was happy so he took the time after work to put the boat in the water and teach me about it. Can't say enough good things about the guy. If you need a boat, 🌊 See Donnie.

My wife a I purchased a boat from Harborside Marine recently and can’t begin to tell you what a great experience it was. Trey was great to deal with and I truly respect that he is a veteran. He made the sale a very easy transaction. Donnie delivered the boat and was very knowledgeable and professional in showing me all the details. I would wholeheartedly recommend Harborside Marine to anyone looking to purchase a new or used boat!

Just as important as deciding which boat you want is the dealer you purchase it from. At Harborside they are as transparent as it gets. Friendly and willing to help you at any time. They all say. Just call and we will see what we can do for you any day. Veteran owned by a fellow Marine it just doesn’t get any better. Highly recommend you purchase your boat from Harborside!!
