Had a very good experience purchasing a new boat from Sheltered Cove Marina. The staff was awesome and even hooked me up with Joe who is the service manager but also worked with me to get the boat lettered prior to pickup. It’s nice he is in house to take care of it and had some very creative ideas for the name. It came out great!! If you are in the market for a new boat I would go here 1st. Great team and pricing. I took delivery a few days ago and sending me on my way with an in house Captain was fantastic. Made the 1 hr trip to my marina seamless. He was very knowledgeable on the water and with the boat.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about SCM. Let's start with Anthony. We are boating rookies and he had no issues at all showing us around the Barletta pontoons. He gave us a soup to nuts tour and answered every question we had. His boat knowledge is through the roof. Then there's Mark, Joe, and Captain Dave. The level of constant communication and updates on everything from detailing to delivery of the boat was phenomenal. Thank you all so much for making this a great experience for us first time purchasers!!

People are nice, docks are floating, bathrooms with showers and air conditioning. We are considering putting our boat there the only issue is that there are areas with very low water, but it seems that NJ has many areas like that.

It was such a pleasure working with Dan on my water in the fuel (purchased elsewhere) situation. He was prompt, courteous and most importantly, really cared about my boat and getting it back on the water asap. Sheltered Cove and Dan have my highest regard. True customer service hard to find…. But they have it at Sheltered Cove.

Bought a boat at the AC Boat Show. All the way through the process everyone at Sheltered Cove was friendly and helpful. They made the entire experience a breeze. Dave, our orientation specialist, did a great job walking us through everything and taking us out for our initial run. After our orientation, our new boat was promptly delivered to our marina. We were able to get out on it 2x in the first 4 days and love our decision so far. I would recommend Sheltered Cove and they’re boats to anyone shopping along the Jersey coast.

Five Stars All the Way! This is my second pontoon boat purchased from Sheltered Cove, and once again, they exceeded all my expectations. Their entire team is consistently outstanding — from the first conversation, to boat orientation to the final delivery, everything was smooth and professional. The whole staff is always ready to help, incredibly friendly, and welcoming. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend Sheltered Cove to anyone looking for premium brand boats and service!

I have purchased 3 boats from sheltered cove marina over the past 12 years. Two new, and one used. (they also handled the sale of the trade ins) I also moored my boat at the marina (again the 1st boat) for over 5 years. I have owned other boats, and stayed at several different marinas. Sheltered Cove is an excellent location for being inside, and also decent access to ocean (about 15 min. run) The marina is family owned and operated. I was always treated fair and honestly. It is expensive to own a boat, (why my current boat is on a trailer) but with the internet, the price is the price. If you are buying a boat, (or selling) they will handle the whole deal. I will use them again.

we are very greatful for all of the service we received with the entire delivery process everyone was terrific including Chris’s customer service what a well oiled machine you have please let Ken,Nick, Sean and Chris know how thankful we both are.

Just took delivery of this new 2023 Barletta. Sheltered Cove was great to work with. The friendliest and nicest staff and sales personnel. They even gave us an orientation on all the workings of this boat and then delivered the boat to us about 50 miles south of them immediately following the orientation. I highly recommend them for your next boat purchase. .

We had an incredible experience purchasing our pontoon boat at the Atlantic City boat show, all thanks to Mark and Ken! From the moment we arrived, they greeted us warmly and patiently guided us through the entire process. Their knowledge about the boats was impressive, and they were able to answer all of our questions without hesitation. What really stood out was their dedication to finding us the best price possible. Thanks to their expertise and professionalism, we walked away with our dream boat at an amazing deal. If you're in the market for a boat, look no further than Mark and Ken—they truly go above and beyond for their customers!

This is my first experience with Sheltered Cove Marina. From initial negotiations with Mark at the AC boat show to working with Ken throughout my boat delivery process, it has been overwhelmingly positive. It's clear that Sheltered Cove cares about making long lasting customer relationships. Ken acted promptly for all "issues" that may have occurred during the process and made sure I was satisfied with the resolution. I would definitely recommend them to others and took a bunch of Ken's business cards so I can hand them out at the sandbars. If we ever encounter any warranty issues in the future I have high expectations for how those will be handled.

Last week I picked up my brand new Sylvan tri-toon boat. I purchased the boat at the Atlantic City boat show this year. Booked my appointment and arrived at the Marina. Met with Dave and he went over all the paperwork and materials for the boat including titles and registration. From there we went out for a full tutorial of the boat and took it out for a run. Boat was clean and fully ready to go. The guys in the yard were awesome. Put the boat on the trailer and got us fully ready to trailer it back home. The Marina gave us a great discount to get some needed supplies for the boat. Looking forward to a great boating season and being a long term customer of Shelter Cove
