Great experience buying a boat this past summer at Saba. John Welch is such a fantastic salesperson. He worked with us to find the right boat and was quick to follow up every step of the way. We are new boat owners, so the care that he took in making us comfortable was first rate. We are really happy with the boat and the service from Saba.

Awesome service! We were just 1 day into our vacation, having traveled 6 hours from upstate NY, when the propeller on our boat failed (spun hub). We pulled the boat out and drove directly to Saba Marines service area. One of the technicians, Matt, appeared from the building and asked if he could help us. I explained our situation and he promptly went to get his tools to remove our prop. After a quick look he confirmed that the hub was most likely spun. As the prop was old and kind of beat up anyway, I asked him if they might have a new prop for us. Matt then went to see Joe in Parts and after a few minutes was back at our boat with a new prop and installation hardware. After installing it for us, he took a check of our lower case oil to ensure it was full. Then, after a quick trip to see Joe and pay our bill, we were done - within about 20 minutes of our arrival! Both Matt and Joe were very helpful, friendly, and provided great service! Cant thank them enough for helping us out so quickly and saving our vacation!!

I bought a Sea Ray at Saba Marine from John. He spent hours walking me through the options by multiple different manufacturers. Great showroom and service. When I took delivery, John went through all the systems on the water to make sure I had no questions.

These guys really know how to properly execute all aspect of the business. From their tremendous customer service to their ability to fairly negotiate deals and make both parties happy (Ive been on both sides with them) I would STRONGLY recommend using Saba Marine for any of your boating needs. They are truly the best in VT and it was an absolute pleasure doing business with them.

Great staff at the retail store and marina. Were happy such a great establishment is in Vermont with little boat dealers to choose from. With a wide selection of new and used boats and the great service, you will be a happy buyer! Give them a try if you havent already.

What a great outfit. We were greeted first by the owner Mark and he is outstanding. We then had a chance to work with John. He was equally as awesome... even took us out for a lake test in March. I would highly recommend these guys based directly on my personal experience. We are now proud boat owners again.

Absolutely the worst service Ive ever had. Spend 28k on a boat and get treated with so much disrespect and poor customer service My process has been nothing but a mess since I bought the boat new in 2016.Ill be buying a prince craft next!

I am a first-time Lund boat buyer with Saba Marine. From minute one, Jeremy, John & the entire Saba Team have provided me with an outstanding sales & service experience. I was very happy with the Lund boat package I purchased. Saba Marine worked extremely hard to ensure I had the right boat for my fishing needs. They certainly make their customers feel like a priority! I highly recommend Saba Marine to anyone looking for an exceptional customer sales & service experience.

Mark, Jeremy and the Team at Saba Marine are excellent to deal with. We have been doing business with Saba since they opened and I am always happy to refer them to others. They are first class organization in both sales and service and they do an exceptional job taking care of their customers.

Id highly recommend Saba Marine. John Welch was fantastic -- very knowledgeable, able to discern what we needed as first-time boat buyers, and also managed to arrange a test drive on very short notice. Great experience!

I have never been treated so rudely while patrolling a business as I was by the manager at Saba Marine, especially while considering spending thousands of dollars. He was short with me and acted like I was ruining his day by asking a question. I seriously almost cried. There are other places to shop for boats (actually right next door is another marina) and based on the utter lack of professionalism and basic human kindness at Saba Marine Id strongly recommend going elsewhere.

We literally searched all over the country before finding our boat at Saba. Even though they were just the broker they have treated us like their #1 customer. Jeremy and John always take the time to politely answer our numerous questions. They have provided such great service from the sales floor to the shop, that we now use them for storage, maintenance, detailing and even launching our second boat. They are a truly top notch group of guys and we wouldnt think of going anywhere else for our boating needs.

Saba Marine and specifically John Welch are great to work with. We worked with John last fall when he helped us sell our 28 foot Regal and we went back to Saba and John this spring when we were ready to purchase something smaller, a 21 foot Sea Ray, that worked better for our busy family. Can’t say enough about how happy we are with the customer service we received and how happy we are with our most recent purchase! I would highly recommend anyone looking to sell or purchase a new or used boat to work with Saba/John Welch. You won’t be disappointed!

I would definitely recommend Saba Marine to anyone who asks where to buy a boat. John Welch is who to ask for when you inquire at Saba. My experience was extremely easy, once I selected the right boat for my needs, John quickly ordered it, and then found me financing at a better rate than my long time bank.Once the boat came in, we executed the paperwork, and when my dockage was ready, he delivered the boat.He took the time to run out on lake with me and show me all the features of the boat.Excellent personal service!!

I can not say enough good things about my experience purchasing a boat from Saba Marine, and specifically John Welch. John is incredibly knowledgable, patient, and professional. He responds to questions almost immediately and made himself available to my family throughout the buying process. He also personally delivered the boat and told me that this is just the beginning of his commitment to making sure that my family gets years of enjoyable memories out of our boat. I wouldnt even think of getting a boat somewhere else after working with John. I, literally, cant say enough good things about John. I strongly recommend anyone who is considering buying a boat get in touch with him. He wont make you feel pressured and will be an invaluable resource in finding the right boat for your family.

Been a customer for years. They serviced and stored our boat with no issues. This spring they made a few mistakes that required some rework. Now, at the end of the season, at the last minute they said my boat is too complicated and told me to find somewhere else.

2 boats Ive purchased from Saba Marine; VERY PLEASEDIn 2011 I boat a new 330 twin gas engine Sundancer from Saba. They were fair in their prices and when the boat arrived, they prepped it, and patiently took me over the entire boat to review and educate me in the operations and maintenance of this craft. This was my 5th boat and I have been a life-long boater. With a rare warranty issue, they were on-site immediately. and after the warranty had expired, they continued to maintain and service the boat including winterize. After 6 years, I moved from Lake Champlain and sold the boat with their expert assistance for a very good price.Moving to a Lake outside Nashville, TN, I knew the boat I wanted for this lake and I found it at Sabas Marine after a national search. Once again, I was very happy to deal with John Welch at Sabas and bought a Sea Ray 280 SLX with a 350 I/O. Their support and prep and assistance to ship it to TN was perfect. They dropped the ball a bit with the education of the new functionality of this boat which was not easy being so far away, but overall, Im very pleased with the expertise, professionalism and knowledge of Sea Ray. I would buy another boat from Saba...and I did!Thank you Jeremy, John and to the owner, Mark Saba!

I bought a new Lund from Saba Marine 2 years ago, and they were great to deal with. John walked me through the boat and even offered to go out on the water to show me how everything worked. The Lund is the Best fishing boat I have ever owned. I need a bigger boat now (family) and will buy another one from JW at Saba.

My wife Leslie and I had been talking buying a boat since August of 2015 (OK, actually it was mainly me talking about buying a boat :-) ) While I have been on and around boats for many years, I had never owned my own. Back in early April, while heading to Burlington, I convinced my wife to stop at Saba Marine - to just look around. When i walked in to Saba Marine, I was immediately greeted by John Welch. I told him that I had more questions than answers, and the only thing I knew was that I wanted a 22-24 bow rider.I was no guaranteed sale by any means, but John said no problem, and he brought me into his office and answered by questions for 45 minutes. I left that day still not sure we were buying a boat, but I did know that if I was going to buy a boat, it was going to be there. That kind of customer service, when the sale was unknown, told me the quality of the dealership and its people.My wife and I talked about it for a week or so, and decided to go back in and look at the Chaparral 227 SSX. We both really liked the look of this boat.After a little convincing, Leslie agreed to purchase the boat with me (yeah).We were literally the 2nd boat on the water in the bay, and took countless trips around Malletts Bay with no other boats in site, and wearing winter coats.I remember John telling us that boating is a life style. i did not know exactly what he meant, but I do now. Every day we look at the weather forecast, the wind speed and direction, as well as wave activity. All in an effort to determine if we can get out on the boat.We love our Chaparral and look forward to every single opportunity to be on the lake. The boat has all the power, handling, and space we need to enjoy the lake.While John did initial sales work, Leslie and I have had the opportunity to work with Jeremy, the general manager, and Mark Saba, the owner. Both have made us feel like part of the family. Whether we see them at Saba Marine or Bay Harbor Marina, they always have time to talk and make us feel like an important customer.We had an unfortunate mechanical failure in our boat back in early June, but Saba Marine immediately took care of us and had the boat out and back in the water before we needed it.While we love our boat, the customer support offered by Saba Marine is what sets them apart and ensures our loyal patronage.On another note, Bay Harbor Marina, where our boat is docked, is is a fantastic marina offering all the boating necessities- with new docks. a beautiful club house, wifi, convenient gas docks, and an amazing staff - especially Matt, Nikki, and DevinA big thank you to Saba Marine and Bay Harbor Marina from the St Pierre family - we are having the best Summer everRespectfullyRay St Pierre
