You Really Do Get What You Pay For….

You Really Do Get What You Pay For….

I’m a seasonal renter here. I’ve learned over many years and many different marinas that prices and service levels vary wildly. And, service is not always in line with the price. But, at Kingman’s it really is. Everything is pretty high-end here. The professional staff, the well-maintained facility, the restaurant and tiny shops. Over time I’ve learned that I can trust these people to do what they say and help when asked.

Also, given a few comments below I feel the need to comment on the quality of the work from the yard. It is simply the best I have come across in two decades of cruising New England. Yes, it is going to be pricey as they don’t give anybody a ‘deal.’ But, the work gets done right (every time -no kidding). My 1997 Hunter has had its share of issues. Once the staff at Kingman spends time on it, what was broken stays fixed. That’s something that I can’t say of most of the other yards I’ve dealt with.
