SALES SERVICE RENTALS

Dear Customers, As I look around at our Marina and Service Yard it’s amazing to see the many boats waiting to be serviced and stored for the winter. Come November, it’s always a challenge to drive through the yard as we continue the winterization of the last 100 boats. We’ve been most fortunate to have seen our business grow over the last 37 years. It only seems like yesterday that my Father, my wife Pam, and our one year old son Jon, found this small marina here in Charlestown. I remember it was a cold fall day and everything looked so gray. It was a perfect start for someone who had no small boat or retail experience. We were very fortunate to have met so many welcoming and colorful local customers who made that transition so easy. The business began as a small marina, with a bait shop, coffee bar, and boat rentals. A big sale for the day would have been an all day boat rental, four dozen sand worms, and a couple cups of coffee. Today, we have grown to become a premier boat and outboard dealer, which includes a supporting service center and experienced staff. We are proud of our accomplishments over the years, having been selected as a Top 100 Boat Dealership, achieved Yamaha’s “Best in Class” honors, along with several boat manufacturer’s Customer Satisfaction Service Awards. None of this would have been possible without a great crew of hard working employees and loyal customers. Please take the time to browse through this fall newsletter. It has some great end-year-specials and some interesting articles that you will enjoy. Let us us know if there is anything we can put under your Christmas tree! As we enter the holiday season, we want to share with all of our customers, business partners, employees, and friends our best wishes for the new year and gratitude for the past years. Regards Rob, Pam & Jon Lyons

Timing Technology: When’s the Best Time to Upgrade?

Technology in marine electronics is like any other: it changes almost daily, and always gets better! As a Garmin certified installer, Ocean House Marina installs dozens of upgraded electronics packages every year. We see how the technology keeps improving and we understand how boat owners want to take advantage of the latest and greatest new products and upgrades. But we’re also New Englanders, and we also understand how short the boating season is here. So our first piece of advice to boat owners is to carefully consider the timeline required if they are contemplating bringing their boat in for an electronics upgrade. Time Your Upgrade

Going Deep with Regulator

The Regulator brand is well known for making sturdy, solid, feature-packed machines designed to go into the deep and get you there fast. The Regulator 34SS (for starboard seating) is a great example. Like most boats from Regulator, these are real fishing machines–there are no less than 14 rod holders scattered around the gunwales. Add in the livewells, fish boxes, cutting tables, gear-holding drawers in the console and storage lockers beneath almost all the cushions fore and aft … and there aren’t many features missing that a fisherman would want. Explore the 34SS

Localization is a common theme for larger investment purchases. It is no surprise that when we start a used boat search, we try to keep it close to home. That way, we can lay eyes on the vessel, inspect it and take it out for a sea trial ourselves. However, what if it was possible to expand a used boat search beyond one’s own region? That would provide a much bigger universe of potential boats to choose from, but would also raise some questions and potential problems with purchasing a boat remotely. Believe it or not, expanding searches beyond a buyer’s home base have become more common practice. While some buyers still insist on “kicking the tires” themselves, conducting the purchase process remotely and ensuring you’re getting a great boat is absolutely possible. Start Your Search

Ocean House Marina Trade-In Process Once you’ve decided it is time to trade up for a new boat, the first decision to be made is what to do with your current boat–sell it privately or trade it in? There are pros and cons for both options. Ultimately, the final decision is up to you. As a dealership, Ocean House Marina has a set process for taking a boat in for trade. Understanding that process may help you as you consider trading or selling privately. Learn More
