Advanced Marina

Boat was fine but not NEW like I was told. As a matter of fact we got only old pontoon that day. We were first ones there even before they opened and owner said obnoxiously we can’t make any changes we are all booked. They could have given me a different boat and our boat to someone else on the old one they just chose not to. Like I said we were first there that morning and first to check in. Instead we had the boat with the leather that was turning yellow, tube hook on bottom side instead of centered in back and no new carpet like other boats had. I feel like early bird price wasn’t all that either. I paid similar price other years down by Talbot for 4 hrs anytime of day and they say you get two hours free. All in all my kids had fun and that’s what mattered but I don’t think I’ll go back.

Mark and R.D. at Advanced Marina were the broker that represented me in the sale of my family’s boat. They did a GREAT job getting the boat «show ready», offering advice on fair market value, and eventually finding us the right buyer. I would recommend Advanced Marina to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat in or around Ocean City. They sold my boat in less than 45 days at the price I wanted. Kudos to Mark and his team!

I had a great service experience with Advanced Marina during my stay vacation at Sunset island. We rent the docking spot for my own Jetski right next to my rental vacation home. It made so convenient for me to hop on my jetski few times per day.
We also rent the pontoon. Sarah is the person who took care of my reservation. We will definitely be back with their outstanding service and accommodation.
Thanks again Sarah!

I rented a boat, great condition with fair pricing. ask about the early bird special from 9 – 1 ½ price! Great with kids. Also interested in using them for my bachelorette party

Everyone was nice, boat was awesome. Got the «early bird special» on the Pontoon boat. Was advertised at $ 180, paid $ 240 total. $ 100 deposit, $ 340 total up-​front for 4 hours. When I returned they said I did damage to the prop because the tide was low. Charged me $ 50. I figured $ 240 could cover the small amount of damage. I would have given them 5 stars if they had refunded me my full deposit. The tide was EXTREMELY low and nobody gave us any clear warning to be extra careful or the propeller might chip and they might charge me. I ran the boat extremely carefully and spent half the time anchored enjoying the sun and nature. The daughter seemed to think it was only about $ 25 in damage, but she had to check with her mom. Her mom was too busy to come out and talk to us and some unidentified guy kept yelling it was $ 50 in damage, so the daughter just refunded me $ 50 and apologized. Great place, I would go back. I wouldn’t recommend going out during a low tide or you might pay more than you thought. Positive Notes: I was ½ late for the «early bird special» and they still honored it. Everyone seemed really nice and cordial upon arriving and while giving instructions. I was just rubbed a little wrong when it came to the whole deposit portion. Again, nice family business and nice equipment. Just make sure you understand the deposit and damage risk (even extremely minor) to the boat. Don’t forget to SMILE, they will take your picture and pictures of the propeller. It was almost as if they expected us to damage it with the low tide. A little more heads up and something like «expect to pay up to $ 100 if you hit low tide».
