Riverside Marine

It's beautiful ❤ ❤❤❤I would love to live near here ... A good friend does .. it's so peaceful and beautiful

We had a fantastic experience with Riverside
Marina and Matt Baumgartner! He originally helped us purchase a Sportsman Open 212 CC, guiding us through every step with professionalism and expertise. When it came time to sell, we knew we could trust him again, and he did not disappoint. The process was quick, efficient, and stress-free. His knowledge of the market and commitment to excellent service made all the difference. We highly recommend Matt Baumgartner and staff at Riverside Marina for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat!

I purchased a new Sportsman in 2023 and had a problem with the motor the following spring. Jay in the service department got my boat in the very same day and resolved the issue immediately. He even followed up a few days later to make sure everything was fixed. Great service! Highly recommend.

What a great place to buy a boat! From the boat show to settlement everyone was so knowledgeable, accommodating and kind. A family owned business that all work together like a well oiled machine. They partner with MidShore Boat Sales who are equally amazing. Shout out to Matt...Mike...Jerry and Theresa! Highly recommend both places!

Buying a boat can be a little nerve wracking. Let's face it, they are a luxury item that we really don't need. But they are a passion, and that needs people like Riverside Marina. I just completed a purchase and drove away extremely happy. Every step of the way was a pleasure. Thanks to my salesman Connor, and the money man MIke. Well done !

Riverside Marine sales and customer service are outstanding. The captain was thorough while we test drove our new Sportsman. Everyone was professional and courteous. I highly recommend them.

This was my first time buying a boat through a marina and not just a person-to-person transfer. I'm still blown away by the Riverside guys months later. Every time I have a question or need something they're already on top of it. They handled registration, title for both the trailer and boat, they even handled the tags for the trailer. I worked with Josiah through my purchase and I only have good things to say. Overall very impressed by this operation and would recommend them to anyone in the market.

Just beyond outstanding in every respect. Our first boat and everyone there made us feel so special and never once was there any form of sales pressure. This is a family business that truly demonstrates the values that only great companies can dream of achieving.

A world of thanks to Connor, Mike, Ben and Matt.

We got our awesome 231 Heritage from Riverside. We love the boat and Riverside. Matt and the crew were extremely patient with our inability to choose all the options for the boat, installing extras (extra cup holders, new Bluetooth kill switch, etc), and servicing the boat for the last two years. The communication and work has been great without gouging us on price.

I cannot speak more highly of our experience here at Riverside Marine. As first time boat owners, Matt and his team were incredibly patient with figuring out what boat was right for us based on our preferences. They also helped guide us (without being pushy) as we decided what options to add for the boat. We've had no issues with communication, as they were always prompt and clear throughout the whole process. Matt also went above and beyond! He helped us drive the boat safely back to our place after we picked up the boat. He certainly did not have to do that, and this is an example of the excellent care and service that Riverside Marine provides. I will be back for all my future boat servicing needs, and I absolutely recommend checking this place out!

I've been going to this marina for service for years with several different boats. They are always very responsive, timely, and fairly priced. This week they helped me troubleshoot an electrical problem with my Optimax since they weren't able to look at it for a few days. Prior to this they cleaned up a motor I bought from down in FL and serviced it over the winter for various salt water related damages that came with it. Incredibly helpful. I don't take my boats anywhere else. Jason and the team down there are the best!

We decided to buy are second boat with Riverside Marina and definitely was the right decision thank you to Mr. Josiah Carbone for all the great communication and follow up with me I really appreciate and definitely I strongly recommend Mr Josiah Carbone His the best. O.F

First things first, our purchase is not complete as we will probably have another 90-120 days until our pre-ordered boat is built and shipped. We have not had any service performed because we don't have the boat yet. So, in a sense, this review may seem premature, but I do like to give feedback, and I will update as this process progresses.

Ok, with the mitigating preface out of the way, I can actually begin a review. I am a federal adjudicator by trade, so you might guess I ALWAYS do my homework about EVERYTHING. To my delight, our salesman (not sure if that is his exact title, but it fits in this context), Matthew, was very knowledgeable. He knew pretty much everything I asked him. On the rare occasion he didn't know the answer, and that was indeed rare, he didn't attempt to BS me, but instead told me he would either find out, or looked it up right on the spot. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. In my profession my BS detector is a well-tuned machine, but with Matthew, it NEVER activated. Bravo!

Matthew also put up with a whole lot of changes and questions from me. Believe me when I tell you, we went through absolutely every option before I pulled the trigger. He showed me the answer to every one of my questions on a comparably equipped vessel. It was refreshing to see such a commitment to customer service.

I also respect their commitment to maintaining safety protocols during this pandemic. There were clear distancing, hygiene, and mask protocols. When one of their employees tested positive, they shut down for several days. This was especially salient to me because one of the days they were shut down was a day I was going to give them my down payment. You know what that tells me? Riverside Marine values everyone's safety. Again, bravo!

What they didn't know what that I was looking at Monterey boats at the same time. Honestly, there was no need to tell them. If I had chosen a Monterey, I would have been forthright about it, because that is how I conduct myself. I am also a 3-tour combat veteran and integrity is my watchword. Anyhow, I point this out because when you order a completely loaded Bayliner, it would be foolish to not check out a standard or moderately custom Monterey. I simply do not feel the Monterey dealership compared to Riverside Marine. The Monterey dealership felt like a car dealership. At Riverside I feel like I matter to them.

I was a little disappointed in the price. Many other folks seem to have gotten better deals on a build worth about 60k. That said, when Matthew told me that he got me the best price he could, I believed him. I got $500 for my status as a combat veteran ❤ and another $1500 from the dealership. Bayliner gave me zilch 😡. So, I feel as though I was dealt with fairly.

Summarily, I have no complaints whatsoever and generally appreciate the whole experience. They are quite simply, what a dealership should be. If you are in the market for a boat, check out a few places, then check out Riverside. My money says you'll use them!

Great people and great boats. Very glad I came to them. I recommend if you are looking to ask them. Nice folks.

I've bought and sold many boats over the years and I can honestly say my experience buying from Matt at Riverside was by far the most stress-free seamless experience to date. Riverside is a family owned business and you can absolutely tell. Matt's aunt did my paperwork and was extremely helpful and pleasant. A week later I went back to Riverside to pick up my trailer and Matt's father met me outside to introduce himself. A week after that I had a few service related questions and Mike, an extremely knowledgeable tech, spent 30-40 minutes with me going over the motor and common maintenance issues and how to handle them myself. I couldn't be happier and I will definitely buy from them again... shouldn't be long until I "need" a larger boat :)

Great Marina and boat sales place. Very friendly.

Just bought a used boat from Riverside and it was a wonderful experience. Connor in sales was an absolute delight!!! He kept in communication with us throughout the whole process, and answered any questions I had. I am very happy we bought from them and are storing our boat at Riverside.

I can't say enough good things about Riverside Marine. They made me feel more like family than a customer.
I love my new Sportsman 247OE and plan to raise many fish aboard her!

I rarely post reviews but had to in this case. I can’t convey a higher recommendation than to the men and women at Riverside. I purchased my Maxum 18’ here and their sales and service staff were impeccable. Special shout to Josiah who walked me through the whole process. Looking forward to gettin’ her in the water soon. This is the place where you want to do business.

The entire team at Riverside is terrific. Just did my 20 hr service and received superb treatment. They are always friendly and professional. Thanks to Chris in maintenance and Mike in finance. If you’re buying a boat, buy it here. Thanks!!
