Big shout out to the service team at Longshore Boats! Dan and Dan were incredibly helpful in fixing a fuel supply issue we ran into. Thanks to their quick and knowledgeable service, we got back on the water and enjoyed the rest of our boat day with the kids. Appreciate the support!

Great Experience with Longshore Boats in Charleston. Thomas Drayton went above and beyond for us. Boat in excellent clean condition when we arrived. Sales process went smoothly, and Thomas arranged for a seamless pick up in the early AM hours for our journey home. Also recommended The Kingstide for an outstanding dinner for our night in Charleston.

I bought my boat two years ago, and Hector was amazing from day one. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get the boat I wanted, but he made it happen. Even now, he still helps me with anything I need. Truly top-notch service. Thanks!

Hector was fantastic to work with, I’ve been to many car and boat dealerships, and the sales process is usually full of pressure and a bit overwhelming—but not with Hector. He was never pushy or rushed, just genuinely helpful and incredibly knowledgeable about boats. He made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. By far one of the best salespeople I’ve ever dealt with. Highly recommend!

Once we settled on a boat, we were able to take it out on the water and test drive which was the final decision making point. Highly recommend. Sales consultant was Hector Chavarria. Outstanding customer experience.

Longshore has been amazing to work to with. I had my previous boat serviced there for years (not a brand they sell), and recently upgraded to one that they do sell. The service department is fantastic. Hector was excellent to work with on the new purchase. Communication, professionalism, knowledge of the products were all 10/10.

Many thanks to Stephen and his team for enabling my family's sportfishing and sunset cruising dreams into reality. No doubt the 2025 Edgewater 325cc full of warranties and technologies is exciting. More impressive are Longshore's full service, knowledge, friendships, networks into Charleston boating, factory connects and simplicity of the sale. Keep up the great work Stephen. Cheers.

…. I recently purchased a used Edgewater 185 CC from Longshore Boats and I’m extremely happy with not only the boat, but with all my dealings with them .. My initial email contact was promptly answered by Hector Chavarria from sales, who not only answered all my questions, but did a FaceTime walkthrough of the boat .. throughout the entire buying process he made himself always available and followed through on all my requests .. a big “shout out” to Bennet for promptly dealing with a title issue for the trailer and also to Rose for her efforts .. buying a boat online can be a daunting and perilous experience ! .. not so with the folks at Longshore Boats ! .. A big “Thank You” to them all from an old man up in Pennsylvania fishing for those walleye and steelhead ! …. d. billingsley

I purchased a new Robalo 226 Cayman Bay Boat from Longshore Boats. Hector Chavarria was my boat advisor. He handled everything for me. He was fantastic! This is the second boat I’ve purchased from Longshore. I love the boat, I think Longshore Boats and their staff is great, and Hector does a great job for me. I highly recommend Longshore Boats and Hector if you’re in the market for a boat.

What a great time we all had when Longshore Boats invited us out to Bulls Bay Island for an afternoon of fun, food and games. Anchoring at an island and having food and drinks cooked fresh for everyone, come on it doesn’t get any better than that. Thanks for a great day Longshore crew. You show your customers a great time.

Thank you so much! The guys in the service department, Dan McBride and Thornton Lacy, did a phenomenal job. I had company coming in for the weekend and, of course, the boat wouldn't start. It needed an ignition switch kit. The guys at Longshore Boats showed me how to remove my old switch kit, and then they fit a new switch kit into my existing bezel. The boat was up and running in no time. Thanks guys!

We attended the 2024 Longshore Rendezvous on Bulls Island this past weekend and had a blast. Allie was very hospitable and there were guys at the ready to help if you had issues with anchoring. It was also nice to catch up with Chris. Weather was perfect, lunch was great and the shells were abundant. It was nice also to chat with fellow boaters. There were close to 20 boats and everyone spaced boats accordingly. Also some very nice giveaways. We really appreciated the invite and look forward to next year. Thanks again, you guys are awesome!

I cannot express enough how professional and thorough Thomas Drayton was throughout the purchase of my boat at Longshore. From the moment I showed interest in the boat, he provided me the best customer service possible. My transaction could have been a difficult one as I was purchasing the boat from out of state and then transporting it to another state. He assisted with all aspects of the sale and went above and beyond to make sure all services and upgrades I did were executed to the highest level. I have bought several boats from other dealers in the past, and hands down the service and customer first attitude was far superior at Longshore. Id like to also give a shout out to Hector Chavarria on his assistance in providing his knowledge to me on the appropriate electronics and boat trailers, etc. I’ve had my boat for a few months now and I am convinced the best choice I made on this journey was choosing Longshore and working with Thomas and Hector!

Hector was professional, honest and extremely responsive.

Hector never ghosted me, he always answered the phone or called back and he met all my expectations.

I just took delivery of my fourth boat from Longshore Boats on Clements Ferry in Berkeley County. This one was a 246 Cayman Robalo. The Team at Longshore has demonstrated to me a willingness to work through logistics, customize the boat to your needs and make the whole experience enjoyable. My sales advisor was Hector Chavarria who found me the right boat and arranged with his sales partner Thomas Drayton to find the right buyer for my existing boat to complete the transaction. It was a win win for all of us. Longshore handled all of the paper work on both boats and provided an experienced captain to deliver the new boat with a 4 hour session on the water. It was a team effort including Stephen Parulis, the GM who helped negotiate the two party transaction. If you are in the market for a new or used boat, I strongly recommend visiting Hector at Longshore. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge in boating and fishing. As far as service, Longshore has serviced all of my boats over the years and has allowed me uninterrupted use of my boats on the water. A special thank you to Steven Ellliot for prepping the new Cayman and making it sea worthy.

Absolutely fantastic. I was having a terrible experience with a competing firm who did not seem to want my business. I walked into Longshore and met with Hector. No appointment. Just wandered in. Hector was super responsive. He talked me out of a bad decision and within an hour solved my problem of getting rid of my existing boat and sold me a new one. I did not expect to buy a boat that day but thanks to Hector everything fell beautifully into place. He has since gone out of his way to help me with a few customer service matters. He is a pleasure to work. I love Longshore.

Our Sales Rep Tom Drayton was attentive and responsive throughout the process. His ability to answer our questions and address our requests made it all possible. The boat was delivered today and we couldn’t be more pleased. We strongly recommend you visit Longshore if you are considering purchasing a new or used boat.

We have been considering a new boat for almost six years. During this time frame we have talked with most the other dealers in the area, attended all the boat shows and did all the research. One thing remained consistent during this time frame, the professionalism of Longshore Boats experts. Our experience was amazing, no pressure, no overselling, always returning phone calls and texts. Following up as needed. I asked a lot of question and they never made me feel as I was overstaying our welcome. Once we decided to move forward with the purchase and since taking possession of our boat, our experience continues been exceptional. They go over and above our expectations. And they still answer the calls and questions at all times of day. When service is needed, they make it seamless. My recommendation if you are looking at a new boat, make sure you stop at Longshore boats.

We just bought our first boat from Longshore and Hector was our salesman throughout the process. I wrote a request for additional information on the boat I was interested in on a Saturday and didn’t expect a response until Monday. However, within minutes, Hector reached out to me and scheduled a time for me to come in that day. He had the boat ready within 45 minutes and never pressured us not anything other than what we wanted. He made the experience feel comfortable and welcomed my two young children who accompanied us to the dealership. Hector coordinated with the financing companies for us and also helped get our insurance process rolling. After purchasing the boat, he also set up a personalized lesson with an experienced captain. Hector was wonderful and we highly recommend him to anyone wanting to buy a boat without feeling pressured into anything other than what you want.
