I met with Hector in Sales and from that moment, my experience at Longshore was amazing. Even with the wait period for delivery he kept me well informed. He even drove to Nashville, GA to pick up my boat during a time of shortage of trucking. I was pleasantly subprised when I came to have my boat delivered they set up a multi-hour session with an experienced Robalo Captain to spash my boat and spend as many hours as I wanted to familiarize me with all the workings of my 206. It was very educational even though I am a somewhat experienced boater. I will totally recommend Longshore Boats to anyone looking for a great buying experience and an amazing boat. And Hector is amazing.
Larry K -
A big thank you to Hector sales person at Longshore Boats . He took the time to help me find the right boat for me and went to work and made my dream a reality. Thank you Hector for all your help.

It is a rare thing especially these days that you find yourself loving quality or the service you get from a company. Longshore has earned an excellent mark in my book and will be one of my lifetime favorites. Its a given when you buy a car an RV or a boat there will be problems, perhaps quality issues nothing is perfect all of the time but when a dealer or distributor or manufacturer steps up to the plate and takes care of those issues without question, you have a winning relationship. A relationship to last a lifetime in my mind.
It all starts with a great sales rep Hector Chavarria who is always available and goes over the top to help when needed. Michael Callahan and Billy are always there to support with advice or to make sure work gets done correctly and on time. Longshore is simply a great company to work with and i could not be happier.

Best place in Charleston. Hector was great to work with!
James B -
Team did a great job with my rig. First time Ive come by the shop for service, and they hit the trifecta in boat service - fast service, very reasonable price, and most importantly - they immediately instilled confidence in their knowledge. Also noteworthy, they were extremely thorough. Not satisfied with a working theory on the issue, the took the rig out to the water to run her until they were able to replicate the issue to ensure it was solved. Really appreciate the work and getting us back on the water!
Thomas D -
Yesterday I had a minor emergency before a fishing trip and was delighted by the friendly and quick service by the service team at Longshore Boats. Shout out to Stephen in the service department, along with Mike and new guy Jason! And thank you Stephen in sales for once again pointing me in the right direction. They saved a day of fishing and once again proved that they are the best in the biz!

Great job, Billy Bentley!!!Mike C -
From my first email and phone call to Hector he went over and above on all facets of being able to purchase a dream boat. When it came time to add accessory items to the boat such as power poles, trim tabs and a new GPS/depth finder the service department was also awesome to deal with. Everyone was very friendly, answered my questions and made it happen.
Mike M -
Amazing people from start to finish at Longshore boats and our main point of contact Gian couldnt have been more professional, attentive and simply made the whole process which began at the Charleston boat show in January to delivery on May 5 purely awesome. Gian walked us through the entire process, despite having been a boat owner for 14 years this is an entirely different boat than what we were used to and he was so helpful and I learned a lot. Lastly, they set us up with Captain Mike, where we got to spend about 4 hours going through the boat on the water and learning just how incredibly awesome it is. Gian and the whole team at Longshore are simply the best. Cheers
David H -

Longshore boats is the best! I have used them for over 3 years now, I purchased my first robalo from them and did all my services there for the last 3 years. Now it came the time to upgrade the boat and of course i went right back to Longshore, Steve showed me the best options to fit my needs as a offshore fisherman, I told him what I wanted and he pointed me to the model that I would be able to Maximize my wants and needs and stay within my budget. You go into Longshore and you feel like you are part of the family, everyone is super nice and they all treat you amazing, from the sales team, the service team and even the back office ladies. If you want a new boat or need service and want to be treated good definitely check out Longshore boats and talk to Steve!
Alex D -
Service Advisor Billy Bennett greeted me most kind and professionally. I had purchased Minkota Terrova and my remote died. He quickly found my invoice and completed all the necessary paper work for it to be replaced under warranty. So a brand new remote is headed my way. I'd say a four day turnaround is unprecedented in today's world. Thank you Mr. Bennett and tell your Boss to give you a raise! Much appreciated. You could surely give customer service training to lots of Boat Dealers in CHS!
Laura D -
Gian at Longshore was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire boat buying process! He walked us through all aspects of the boat, found us a trailer at a great price, and spent hours with us after purchase ensuring we were comfortable launching and docking.

Just picked up a 2023 Robalo 247 and could not be happier with all the work that Hector and the Team at Longshore Marine put into making this deal happen in what are some very challenging times in the Marine Vertical. Thankfully Hector and Longshore have some connections at the factory to help move things along. Hector and the Longshore Team even took time out of their day to drive down to the Robalo factory In Nashville to take control of the delivery process. Wow.Well be back!

I would recommend Long Shore boats in particular a Robalo boat to anybody who is looking for a quality boat that does everything, fish and family friendly, my salesman Stephen was top notch, fully knowledgeable, fair and honest. Upon delivery of the boat (Which consisted of a 3 hour on the water tutorial and the 1st hour of engine break in performed) I cannot tell you How satisfied and pleased I am with the delivery process as well as the boat itself! I would recommend Long Shore and Steven to anybody interested in any boat, anywhere in low country!

We have had a wonderful experience with LongShore boats. Gian really went the extra mile for us and took so much time educating us on options. Stephen was amazing in helping us with a complicated transaction. These folks were not only helpful and pleasant but very honest and that meant a lot to us. They were transparent with costs and timelines. Everything has been delivered as promised and when promised. No unwelcome surprises! I would highly recommend them and would absolutely purchase here again

The professionals at Longshore work hard to provide complete customer satisfaction. We cant say enough about Stephen Parulis. He worked with us from start to finish with courtesy, attention to detail, quick response and fairness. We consider him a new boating friend.
Ric & Lynne Michaels. Robalo.Ric M -
Longshore took a look at my Yamaha F300 which had some abnormal wear happening at 600 hours. They diagnosed the issue, installed new parts and had me back on the water in under a week. Michael C. had great communication the entire time, the quotes/invoices were very detailed broken out by part number along with labor, line by line. A+ service, from the initial service request to delivery.
Kyle G -
We had a great experience at Longshore. We worked with Steve who guided us through the process of buying a boat for the first time. He was very thorough with detailing the things he thought we needed and didnt need on the boat. He also did a great job communicating when we would be able to order the boat, and letting us know when it would be in. We had a great experience with Steve and the entire team at Longshore and I would highly recommend using them if you are in the market for a boat!
Brett C -
Excellent experience before and especially after the sale. Stephen goes above and beyond even my high expectations to make everything simple and seamless. I highly recommend this dealer!!

I needed the batteries in my boat replaced. I called Longshore and was told Michael would call me back.

Chris F -
We decided to order the boat of our dreams (Robalo R317) in July 2021. This was a rather difficult order with long lead times. Record Sales meant that it might take a year or more to get the boat. We wanted to take our time and find a trustworthy dealer. I chose Longshore Boats due to their excellent reviews and follow up. I originally called the dealership and got the privilege of speaking with Mr. Stephen Parulis. He was spot on! I told my wife that we had found our guy. I can't say enough good things about this dealership and ESPECIALLY Mr. Parulis.
This order took some serious work. Stephen continually kept us in the loop. He even worked out a dealer-trade with another dealer for an earlier spot in the production line. We would still be waiting if he hadn't made this trade. It moved us up in the production process and allowed us to get the boat in time for summer use in Indiana. However, this new production date meant that we might have to take the boat that the other dealer ordered. It was the wrong color with many missing options. Definitely not ideal. Stephen went to bat for us and called Robalo to see if there was anything that could be done. Robalo granted approval to keep this spot and re-order the boat exactly how we wanted it.
We received our new Robalo on June 30th of 2022. Nearly 1 year after it was ordered. This happened to be my 50th birthday. Best day ever. The boat was beautiful and exactly what we ordered. Not a single concern! Longshore pushed to get it prepped in time for the holiday weekend.
I can't say enough good things about this dealership and especially Mr. Parulis. I highly recommend Longshore Boats to anyone looking to buy a new or used boat. You won't find a better dealer! Thank you, Stephen and Longshore Boats!Tony H -
We went on the Longshore trip to Beaufort again this year and had a great time. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. Food and events were the best. I highly recommend Longshore for your boating experience.
Coby F -
The annual trip with Longshore boats to Beaufort was excellent and many thanks to the Longshore team that made it happen. Catherine and I made new friends and look forward to taking the trip again next year. The family type relationship Longshore offers their customers makes for a very positive boating experience. Well done.
Arch M -
I purchased my boat from Longshore with Hector Chavarria and it was an A+ experience. I don't know a lot about boats and Hector was very knowledgeable and well spoken in walking me thru the process. Even after the purchase was final, he was in constant communication and always available to help. Highly recommended!
Scott K -
I spoke with Tony the other day looking for some parts I need for my Edgewater. He was extremely informative & knowledgeable. I'm not from the area but I assume he is because he's got quite the Southern charm! Very Nice and helpful! Even gave me ideas on where to eat and good places to fish when I come to Charleston again! I'll be in touch soon!
-Anonymous -
It was a pleasure doing business with Hector. This guy is very professional and make every effort to make sure he meets your need. He ask all the right questions to make sure he knows what you are looking for and can afford. Thanks for all your help and support.
Maurice D -
My husband called about a part for my Dad's boat. It's an older one so they didn't have it, but Tony helped point us in the right direction. Thank you again!
Anna H -
Had a great experience purchasing my Robalo through Longshore. Stephen and team were very knowledgeable and nice to work with
Peter J -
My experience with Jackie and Mike has been encouraging being from out of state I have to rely on people I entrust. Believe me thats not always the case. They turn my motor down and fixed the repair. I would recommend them in the future. As they were recommended to me.
Steve M -
Im very pleased with my boat purchase at Longshore Boats. I found the boat that meets all my expectations. Hector Chavarria professionalism, kindness and patience was a defined factor in my purchase. Hector dedicated plenty of time to answer all my questions and cleared all my doubts in great detail regarding the boat.
He thoroughly explained the services the company provides to its clients and also the benefits of Longshore Boats brands. We established a very important buyer-seller relationshipGloria G -
Our 32 Luhrs broke down in Charleston and Tony had our part, We did not have a ride and he offered to drop it off at the marina we were at, I would recommend these guys to all
Thanks againRon W -
I have went full circle with longshore. Bought a beautiful 18' Robalo and sold a boat with them. The customer service never waivered in either transaction. Steven was our main rep and my wife and I can not say enough great things about him. The service department was prompt, reasonable and informed. If anyone ask me about buying i would send them over longshore to get a great slice of Salt life!
Chris F -
I purchased my new Robalo in September 21 from Longshore. Just had it in for the 100 service and to address a few warranty items. They address everything 100% with no hassle. Michael provided first rate customer service and even got me in early, so I would have my boat in time for an upcoming trip.
Thank you Stephen Parulis for a fantastic experience and thank you Michael Callahan for continuing that service after the sale!Melvin C -
I move back to Charleston after years up north. I went to longshore boats and met Hector. After hearing my story he said "I would love to sell you a boat, but before you make a huge purchase explore other options to be sure this is what you want because a lot of people sell their boats after a year for various reasons". To have a sales person tell anyone this shows their integrity and the integrity of this company. A year later when I was ready I went back to Hector. He walked me through the whole process seamlessly. I wasn't happy with the nine month wait but he did warn me upfront and keep me abreast of every change. I wanted to add a trolling motor a month before delivery, there was a six month wait for that. Not sure how me managed but when I went to see the Black Pearl (202ex) for the first time the trolling motor was already mounted. We are truly grateful to Hector and the longshore boat family for fulfilling our dreams. I thank you for going above and beyond.
Francis G -
Always friendly and great customer service. Michael is a joy to work with and Stephen in sales has done a great job selling us a boat and then helping us to sell a boat.
Great experience!Dave M -
Longshore was phenomenal. They bent over backwards to get my boat fixed as soon as possible. Great Customer service and organization.
Todd L -
Stephen Parulis worked with us to determine the type of boat we wanted. And then he matched us with that boat. The whole team was professional and communicated effectively Stephen is absolutely the best!
Shannon S -
The team at Longshore Boats, especially Stephen Parulis were great! Steve assisted us with every aspect of our purchase: he was diligent, respectful, extremely informative and patient considering we are new to the market. I have no quarrels with endorsing Longshore Boats, especially Steve, to anyone in the boat market. I know that when we purchase our next boat we will do so from Longshore - they turned a complicated and nerve racking purchase into a pleasure. Thank you guys.
Nick R -
Recently had the pleasure of working with Hector Chavarria and the entire Longshore boats team purchasing our family boat.

We appreciate you making the boat owning experience a true pleasure.
Robert B -
I have my boat serviced at Longshore every year. Their process is fast and easy.
Chris S -
Jackie is the best! Would not get my boat serviced anywhere else.
Kyle K -
After looking around the Charleston area for a used boat I was so fortunate to have met the representatives at Longshore. Their selection of used boats were exactly what we were looking for and the advice about the pros and cons of each boat, based on our planned use for the boat, was invaluable. Their salesman, Stephen, really understood what we needed and matched us with the perfect boat. The entire process of buying the boat was a pleasure. The paperwork was simple. Financing was easy and the rates were spot on. Their service department had gone over the boat from bow to stern and identified any issues and fixed them before they had even put the boat out for sale, and so there were no surprises. Subsequent interactions with Michael, in the service department, have been wonderful. We added a power pole after the sale and look forward to many happy days on the water. Thank you Longshore Boats!
Carol J -
Michael Callahan my service advisor guide me through the entire install/operation of a power pole along with additional items that needed to be addressed.
Tony in parts works closely with the service advisors to make sure all needed parts are ordered.
Steven whom is the Technician that installed the parts and also walked me through the operation of the power pole.
LONGSHORE Boats - they truly deliver an exceptional boating experience!!
Thank you LONGSHORE Boat Team!!Pat L -
We left our boat to be serviced not knowing the problems with Covid and a boat show right around the corner. Michael told us what day he could look at the boat and true to word he did. He kept us informed the whole time. I would definitely recommend Longshore Boats!

Angee B -
Great service and always friendly. Stephen was great and always there to answer any questions while we were waiting on delivery of our new Robalo.
Stefan B -
My wife and I were looking for a used boat and thought that since all the dealers are sold out they wouldn't take our needs seriously, We arrived at Longshore boats because a friend recommended us to look for Hctor and he was not mistaken. From the moment we arrived until today when we picked up our boat, the way he treated us was amazing, he knew everything we asked about the boat and the way he guided us to choose the boat that would make us happy was amazing. I can say without a doubt that for our next boat, we will look for Hector

I want to especially express my gratitude to Jackie that was on top of things with communication of the process emailing pics of the work when needed. Rudy also was very attentive and helped going over the boat and even assisted in hooking the boat trailer to my vehicle on pick up day!

I went into the dealership to purchase some safety equipment for my new boat and I met Tony, he was very nice and went above and beyond for me. He was very knowledgeable and had an answer for every question I had. Will definitely keep coming back to longshore boats for my boating needs.

Needed yearly maintenance performed on Yellowfin 32 with twin Yamaha 300s. Also, had a list of minor items that needed to be repaired. All items completed on time and on budget. Great customer service!

As a first time boat buyer, I really appreciate the time both during and after the sale Stephen has given me. The team at Longshore Boats went the extra mile to ensure the boat was in great condition.
Bryan S -
About a year ago I purchased a 2020 chaparral 23 SSI OB from Longshore. My overall experience with Longshore Boats has been a great one. Hector especially has always been prompt, polite, straight forward and honest. He follows up regularly and makes sure my needs as a customer are met. I currently have a second boat on order from Hector at Longshore and it has been an equally painless process. I will definitely continue buying boats here in the future.

I purchased My Boat from Longshore Boats with the help of Hector in 2016. Hector impressed Me with His Knowledge and the Fact that He was not a High Pressure Salesman. He spoke with Me about what I wanted to do with the boat I was looking to purchase and then made recommendations as to which boat would suit My needs Best. After Purchase, I had My Boat Serviced only at Longshore Boats when Service was Required. There Service Department completed Service in a Timely Manner Each Time and Always Gave Me A Detailed Estimate and Explanation of the Service that was going to be performed before they started the work. If You are in the Market for a Boat, I would Highly Recommend that You take the Time to Visit Longshore Boats before making a Purchase.
Chris S -
I always have my boat serviced at Longshore. They do a thorough and fantastic job. Great communication.
Reeves C -
Buying a new boat is a big decision. The boat dealer is a huge part of the owning experience. As proud new owners of a Robalo Cayman 226, my wife and I couldn't be happier with Longshore Boats. Our salesman, Stephen Parulis, and the service department truly took care of us through the ordering, delivery, installation and service of our boat. Longshore stands behind their products. I have recommended Longshore to my friends and neighbors and will continue to do so.
Tripp O -
My husband and I are not the ones to usually write reviews unless totally necessary. We purchased a boat last year during quarantine being rookie boat owners and I must say I have to give a wonderful reviews to my salesman who have truly given my husband a great customer service experience with lots of patience. SHOUT out to HECTOR who has lots of patience with my husbands 100 questions, he is patient and friendly and just overall the BOMB! LONGSHORE is lucky to have him in their organization. God Bless all and wish Longshore Boats continued success.
Kelly S -
Sorry to see Paul and Tim go but I'm sure great service will continue with Chris. I was new to Salt 15 years ago and these guys have been there to help me along and always answer the phone when in need. Thanks so much and Happy Retirement!

I worked with Hector when buying a new boat at Longshore Boats. After he took the time to understand my needs, he gave me outstanding guidance on the right boat for our family.

Although it was a small purchase, I was very pleased with the service and advice I received from one Mr. Rudy Quarterman. I purchased two small throwable life preservers and he brought them home with him. It was much closer for me to pick them up here in Summerville then it was in Mount Pleasant. Thanks Rudy.
Nick S -
Wow. Impeccable customer service!. Rudy at Longshore can provide you with parts options that they don't even stock! They sent me a contact list of all the dealers that had the part. I will be modeling all future customer interactions with the same professionalism that Rudy displayed today! Thanks Guys!
Stephen O -
Thank you for everything Hector, your patience and knowledge helped us decide on our first boat. It was the perfect boat of our dreams and we couldn't ask for anything more. I recommend asking for Hector for all your boating needs.
Andrea S -
I have used Longshore for my maintenance on atleast 2 of my boats. Most recently after getting a new boat I wanted to have a couple of things looked at. Michael is always very responsive with both emails and actually answering his phone line. He sent me email estimates and responded to my questions very quickly. I will definitely continue to use them.
Jamie K -
Stephen Parulis and the Team at Longshore have been outstanding to work with. We couldnt be happier with our new Robalo 246 Cayman. Stephen was patient and listened, offering suggestions, recommendations and guidance as we navigated buying our first New boat. Their customer service after the sale has been spot on, taking care of any factory issues quickly! We couldnt be happier with our 246 Cayman! Thank you Longshore!

Great fast service and had exactly what I was looking for.
George L -
I want to thank Hector for all the effort he put into making this experience very special! the first day we arrived at Longshore boats was a Saturday and it was already closing, my husband and I were wearing PJ'S but Hector treated us professionally and in a loving way, without any judgment unlike other places we have visited that day. You could tell right away he has a amazing knowledge and experience with boats, he knows what he's talking about! without a doubt we know we came to the right place. We ended up buying the biggest boat available that day! I highly recommend going to see Hector at Longshore Boats.

Rudy is amazing in the parts department, whatever I need for my 28 tidewater he can get. If he can't get what I need he always informs me on how to get the item. Besides just getting the part he explains how it works and gives advice on installing the part. Rudy is always will to help a customer get what they need. THANKS Rudy for all your support and kindness.
Bryan S -
I have been a Longshore customer for about 5 years and have always gotten great service. From boat sales to boat repair they are always ready to fix any problems that arise.
Robert K -
Fantastic. Rudy in parts is great. Have been dealing with him for years and he continues to amaze me with his knowledge. Told me what to buy today to solve a major problem with my Mercury outboard at a super low cost. Thank you
Ralph B -
FANTASTIC!!!! I have been dealing with Rudy in parts for years now and he is the go-to man for marine parts. Spoke to him about problems with my boat and once again came through with his expertise. Ended up costing me less than $20 to repair a major problem with my boat. YES. Less than $20 in parts. Thank you so much!!!
-Anonymous -
Everyone was very helpful during this purchase. Stephen Parulis was upfront and honest about everything. Now is obviously a different time to purchase a boat or any major purchase, but Stephen kept everything moving to the best of his ability. We plan on having a long relationship with Longshore Boats.
Jim W -
Longshore boats provide superb customer service and are outstanding in every respect. I would not trust anyone else with my boat.
Dave M -
We bought our first boat from longshore boats. Stephen Parulis took great care of us and was an awesome advisor in the purchase process. He even took a cell phone call from me with a question on July 4th! This past week I took the boat in to have a ski tow bar and cushion installed. Stephen was great and Tim (one of the owners) took the time to help fit the cover perfectly to the boat even though it wasnt scheduled for that. I learned a lot and left with the boat and cover looking great. Highly recommend longshore boats!
Robin K -
These guys are great. They went above and beyond to take care of me and I really appreciate it.

Mike Callahan was terrific. The boat was painted and looks brand new! They also finished it in half the time they quoted. Very much appreciated.

Joe C -
Great service team. Helped me out and explained everything along the way.
Steven W -
We love our new boat thanks to Longshore Boats, but especially to Hector, a friend referred to me about him and told me he was a professional guy who could help us. What I can say is that he exceeded my expectations, without a doubt I would recommend him to my friends who are thinking of buying a boat that to first go to Longshore Boats and talk to Hector!
Ashlynne G -
Me and my husband went to a few other dealers in Charleston, until we stopped at Longshore Boats met Hector. He took the time to teach us which boat would be the perfect one for us, but what made my husband and me decide to do business with him is that he has a great knowledge with boats and is very professional. thanks to Hector and Longshore Boats!
Lesly S -
I recently consigned my boat with Longshore Boats to sell. Stephen Parulis was able to quickly sell it for the price I was hoping for. The entire transaction went smoothly snd I HIGHLY recommend Stephen and the Long Shore team both to consign and purchase. I have also purchased two boats from Longshore and both transactions were handled professionally and thoroughly.
Thank you Longshore for all your hard work!Tim E -
Outstanding service. Rudy (the parts guy) was extremely helpful in getting the correct replacement parts for my boat quickly delivered to my house. And Hector was was also excellent when I purchased a new boat last year. All that Ive dealt with here have been courteous and professional. Highly recommend
Harold M -
We purchased the Robalo R202 from Longshore Marine at the Charleston Boat Show. We took delivery in May. Stephen Parulis was great to work with. Everything went smoothly. And he gave me some good fishing tips for Marathon. We had our 20 hour service done. We were in and out within three days.
Overall we are very pleased with the service we have received from Stephen and Longshore Marine. Hopefully I'll be back next year for the R230.Christopher G -
They are very helpful and patient with any of your boating or part needs. Special thanks to Rudy Quarterman Parks specialist.
Linda R -
After trying to obtain parts in my hometown, with no success, I happened to be in Charleston- 120 miles away - and thought I would give Longshore Boats a shot.
Best thing I ever did. Not only did they have everything I needed, but their parts guy - Rudy Quarterman - went out of his way to help - even dismantling a brand new water pump to better help me understand what I was doing.
I tell you, they have a new loyal customer - Rudy even offered to ship directly to me if necessary.
My new boat place is Longshore Boats.Mark G -
Rudy in parts was super helpful for all my annual maintenance parts needs
Jack B -
Great service and fair pricing.
Steve B -
It has been a pleasure to work with Longshore Marine. I have experienced the complete cycle from pre sale/ consultation with Tim, to sale/delivery with Tim and Thornton, to post sale follow up with Shannon and Steve in the service department. Every step of the way everyone from Longshore was focused on executing their Mission Statement: "Delivering an Exceptional Boating Experience". I highly recommend and look forward to a long term service relationship.
Clay H -
Longshore marine has been taking great care of my boat for over a year now and they have been awesome! Shannon is on top of her game in boat service. Chris (the owner) is very helpful as well

Been waiting on a Minn Kota terra-nova trolling motor for months now. Was just about to give up when got word that Longshore Marine had gotten some in so headed down there and Rudy really hooked me up. Got the 36volt 72 in shaft with I pilot that i and half of the world have been waiting on for quite some time. Thanks Ruby and Longshore marine for hooking me and another friend of mine put. Rudy even helped me get it in the truck!! Nice guy and great customer service will definitely be back!!
Robbie Z -
I recently purchased my first boat ever with Longshore Boats. Stephen Parulis not only found the perfect boat for me but walked me through everything I needed to get out on the water. I cant say enough about Stephen. He is very professional, thorough, and extremely patient. I will definitely buy my next boat with Stephen and Longshore. Happy customer!
Sandy B -
We love Longshore Boats and in particular, Steven Paurlis. His knowledge made us comfortable with the purchase of our brand new Chaparral. He is available to answer any questions that we may have and supports us in every way. We looked at several Dealerships in the area and none could compare with the professionalism we found at Longshore Boats. We couldnt be happier, I highly recommend Longshore Boats and be sure to ask for Steve Paurlis!
-Anonymous -
Providing great service with competitive rates. I especially give Shannon high marks for her communication skills and keeping customers informed of service work and schedules. Highly recommend the team.
Kenneth P -
Buying a boat can be a tricky experience. However it is people like Hector that take a lot of the frustration out of the whole process. I would totally buy from Longshore again if I ever wanted to upgrade.
Jeffrey M -
Great people to do business with! Always very helpful and friendly. They go out of there way to make sure you are satisfied!
Roger W -
I've been in the market for a boat on and off for the last several years. A while back I had the good fortune of meeting Hector at Longshore. What I liked about working with Hector is that he genuinely seems to take his prospective customers interests first. Providing guidance and answering questions without the usual accompanying pressure to make a purchase. Well, that long term view kept me coming back, and I recently purchased with Hector and will do so again in the future.
Steve S -
Hector went the extra mile to make sure my family and I enjoyed this summer. Thank you for each of your details and for the patience in answering each of our questions lol!!
Rick J -
Great communication
Steve W -
I had to boat my way from Rivers edge marina to Daniel Island Marina That's about an hour voyage. I was not wanting to do this during the cold days. Cory worked with me and we waited and planned days for me to bring my 280 OSX to Longshore on a nice day. He called about a week later and said the boat was ready, however, the weather was not conducive to boating. He was more than willing to allow me to come get the boat about 4 days later when the weather was nicer. That means a lot. Thanks Cory
Todd B -
Great Boat Maintenance Service Experience!!!Super happy with the service I recently received at Longshore Marine. They took care of every detail with my boat and the communication was great. Best of all they got my boat back to me with no delays. If you want no hassle service and want to deal with quality people, call Longshore Marine and ask for Shannon.
Michael C -
As always Tentative and transparent and took great care of my boat.
Patrick M -
Shannon the service advisor did an excellent job keeping me posted about the service and warranty work on my 2019 Robalo R272.

John Y -
Great dealership that goes the extra mile! Has my business forever...
Jeff P -
We had a great experience with the whole crew at Longshore! Stephen was our salesman and was great. I would highly recommend speaking with him if you are in the market for a new boat. We love our new Edgewater 230CC and the whole team made it a great experience. Thank you!
Caroline H -
The staff at Longshore are exceedingly polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. Ownership and management should be proud of the group they have assembled.
Joe M -
We had such a great experience! Friendly service and Tim was great! That man knows his boats! We were actually there a few years back and almost bought something then, but changed our minds...fast forward a few years. We walk in and Tim remembered us and immediately worked with us on exactly what we wanted and what was best fit.
Highly recommend Longshore Boats and Tim Clark.Roberta B -
Growing up in church, I was always taught not to fall in love with material things. However, I have to tell you, I LOVE MY ROBALO R160.!!! I served 20 years in the world's greatest navy and always wanted to be the captain of my own ship. Thanks to Hector and Longshore, I'm the Commanding Officer of my 2019 R160, the perfect boat for a first time owner or someone looking to downsize. I just need to learn to catch some fish!!!
Michael M -
Many thanks to Rudy in the Parts Department!! Always quick to locate the parts needed to keep my business moving.

Brian C -
Rudy is the BEST. I never have to worry if I am getting the right part or not.
Wes B -
We worked with Stephen Parulis to buy our first boat. We went in with a specific budget and idea of what we wanted and he was awesome to work with. No pressure, no over selling, and very responsive. He ensured we got what we wanted and is very personable...he really is excited to get you into the right boat!
Jon H -
Rudy in the parts department does a great job helping find parts quickly!!! Always professional and courteous.
Greg B -
Longshore Boats has helped me get my boat back on the water twice this season. Rudy (parts department) is a stand-up guy, he is very knowledgeable and will help you find parts for your boat even if theyre at a competitors store. There arent many places to obtain old Mercury 2-Stroke parts in CHS anymore, finding Longshore was a huge relief as they carry a huge selection.Regardless of 2 or 4 stroke, look no further than Longshore Boats, you won't regret!
Austin B -
Very thorough and quality from the sales representative when purchasing the boat; transparent, complete and clear information thru the process, good delivery and support for the start up / delivery.
Glenn J -
Outstanding service and assistance getting parts and advice on my 2016 Mercury purchased elsewhere. Rudy is an extremely knowledgeable individual with a passion for all things boating. Next boat will be from Longshore for sure!! Ive known this team for years and am treated in an outstanding manner each time I go in even the kick the tires!
Robert S -
Parts and service departments here are extremely engaged and helpful. Highly recommended.
Michael Z -
My first boat buying experience was awesome. I was looking at two places but found the people to be down to earth, easy to deal with and understanding of my lack of knowledge as a new boat purchaser.
Greg M -
We are new boat owners and when we met Stephen, he is an eminent professional who helped us navigate all aspects of how to and what to. It was a great experience and we are customers for life.
Martha M -
Great experience with honest people. I came here because I served with the owner. Withstanding that, I could not have picked a better dealer/service center for my boat.
David P -
Stephen from longshore was excellent to work with. He is very knowledgeable, always available and has had great follow up! When it comes to new boats dealer support can be a make or break factor and Longshore has lived up to my expectations.
Matt F -
Hector C. is very knowledgeable and provided great customer service. He did not pressure us to buy anything. Would recommend Longshore Boats to family and friends.
Daniel Y -
Hector offered us an excellent service we could not be happier with the bote he sold us. Best decision we could have taken.
Skarlet G -
Very helpful getting the parts I needed
Tom J -
We had an awesome experience with Hector at Longshore Boats. After visiting a few other dealerships and really not feeling great about the experience, Hector was great from start to finish. He made sure he understood exactly what we wanted in a boat, experience level, budget, and helped us zero in on a unit that was perfect for us.He also provided a white glove experience from everything with the walk through of the features, the sea trial with lunch at a really cool spot in Charleston, and a day with the captain to get very comfortable with our purchase.Hector is top notch at what he does. Even if you havent had your eye on the brands Longshore Boats carries, I would still recommend you give Hector a call and allow him to guide you with your next purchase.I would highly recommend Hector and Longshore to anyone looking for their first purchase or their next upgrade. I only wish we lived closer to Charleston so we could get all of our service there!

Bought my first boat from here just over a month ago and from the start Hector was great through the whole purchase process. I ran into a small mechanical issue shortly after purchase (boat is a 2007) and Hector, Chris, and Joe, the whole team, were very helpful with getting me back out on the water and fully functioning and I cant thank them enough! Looking forward to doing more business in the future with their service department.Thanks guys!!
Lawrence S -
Parts department went above and beyond to help me finish a repair right before a family vacation. They always ready to assist and be extremely helpful. I haven't seen customer service this good in a long time! Go here for your parts. I am sure the sales department is just as good!
Leon G -
I was looking for a Robalo cayman 246 and tried to contact a local dealer in Florida after two visits two unreturned calls and unanswered emails I was a little frustrated to say the least.
I was flying into Charleston and found the boat I wanted even the right color on the Longshore boats web page unfortunately they were closed but I left a message the next morning Stephen Parulis called me 8am and we discussed the boat. Stephan was very knowledgeable and so helpful I knew right away I found my boat and the right dealer. We discussed all my options and added a few things I wanted. Stephen told me I could come pick up the boat in two weeks I was like two weeks why so long. He told me they had to add the options I wanted and they wanted to make sure everything was good with the boat before they gave it to me. This was not my first boat but it was my first new boat and Ive since realized talking to other people that the dealer can make all the difference in the experience. He delivered on time we took the boat out went over every inch of that boat everything worked and off I headed to Florida. Even after the sale Stephen follows up with me and I highly recommend these folksCharter R -
We had a great experience with Longshore Boats. Our sales person, Stephen Parulis, was outstanding every step of the way. He helped up select the right boat for what we wanted our boat for. And he was absolutely correct on the boat. He is available for calls anytime. We had been contemplating purchasing a Chaparral for about two years. My only regret is waiting that long to actually purchase the boat. The service department is great. They explain everything and are very helpful - our only service experience is preventative maintenance as the boat is so well made. We are enjoying our boat and recommend stopping in to see Stephen if you are considering purchasing a boat.
Bob B -
Great dealership! This was my first "new" boat purchase and I very impressed with the service and knowledge at Longshore. My sales rep Stephen Parulis was great. He worked hard to get answers to all of my questions and was very flexible in coming up with some solutions that we were facing. The entire staff made this process seamless and fun!
If you are looking to buy a new boat, don't do it until you stop here. A truly outstanding experience.Steve P -
Without reservation I would recommend and will buy from them again. From sales to service ... these folks treat you like family regardless of the size of boat. Personally, we bought our boat from Longshore because Steve the salesmen combined with the long standing quality of the brand. Also, Paul in service is spot on, returns calls and makes it happen. We will buy out next boat from them. A+
Karl B -
We bought a 246 Cayman and could not have made a better choice. We love our boat. Stephen was so helpful and great to work with!
Laura S -
My fiance and I had a great experience at Longshore Boats. Professional friendly service. Very customer oriented. Stephen went above and beyond to take care of us. We purchased a Chaparral 257 SSX. We LOVE our boat and can't say enough great things about Longshore and Stephen.
Jim K -
The BEST customer service you will find just about anywhere!! These guys are the best!
Joe B -
Hector, Paul, Rudy, and the other staff at Longshore have been nothing but first class to work with! We are very pleased with our choice in selecting a boat and a company to work with! Excellent decision and outcome for my family and myself, I highly recommend Longshore and their services to anyone in need!
Eric T -
Cant say enough good things about Longshore Boats and Tim Clark. Being a novice boater, but thinking I knew enough to be dangerous, Tim treated us like old friends every step of the way. Getting a boat from Tim at Longshore is a no brainer
Joseph W -
I purchased my first boat at Longshore. I visited several boat dealerships in Charleston to find the right deal. When I first walked into the Longshore showroom, I was treated in a very professional manor. The salesman, Stephen Parulis, had all the answers and was patient with me. Being my first boat, I had a lot of questions. Not only did he take his time but also pointed me in the right direction for financing. With my purchase Longshore also provided a captain ( Thorton ) that took us out on our boat and showed us everything about it as well as practiced launching, pulling away from and to dock, as well as pulling boat in the trailer. SO HELPFUL! A great experience and I highly recommend Longshore! Thank you to all that helped!!!
Stephen Z -
I needed help fixing something on an old boat and Chris the General Manager was EXTREMELY helpful. When I decide to buy new this is where I am going. Thanks Chris, the gauge works!

We came out to Longshore to look at boats on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted by Hector who was more than helpful in answering all of our questions... needless to say a week later our boat was delivered! Prompt service, every question answered, and as new boat owners my wife and I feel more than comfortable taking our family out on our new Robalo thanks to our salesman Hector who went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of! Thank you!

We had an amazing experience with Longshore Boats! Our salesman Hector was the best. He took his time to explain everything to us and make sure we had exactly what we wanted. He gave us all the ends and outs of ownership and completing paperwork. It was just like dealing with someone we knew for years.We spent several hours with Joe on the water. He did a phenomenal job teaching us how to use all the features on our new boat. He never rushed any of the steps and actually had us practice multiple times to make sure we were ready to independently handle the new boat.If you are looking for a new boat go see Hector at Longshore Boats. Tell him the Whitaker's sent you.

We just purchase a robalo 222Ex from Longshore, we were considering other makes and models, we went to a few places but didn't really had a ultimate experience we were looking for, so we decided to stop by and check out the robalo, from the moment we got there we were treated so well, Tim went over the boats and options without rush even though they were past their closing hours. We were convinced, not only the boat was awesome but the respect that we were treated with was amazing! I work long and odd hours so delivery had to be on a sunday, guess what, Tim had no problem doing that either, he spent half the day with us on his day off going over the boat and options while going to amazing spots in the Charleston waterways, and not even for a moment, didn't make us feel rushed or uncomfortable. Recommend them 100 percent! before purchasing your next boat at least talk to these guys.

Hector at Longshore Boats went above and beyond to help get me into the perfect boat. Im a buyer from TX and he was able to make the process virtually seamless. His attention to detail and attentiveness was 5 star. We had a few hurdles pop up and he helped me figure it all out each time. Wonderful company, great products and top notch salesmen!!!! Thanks so much Hector!!!!!

Someone once said The two best days of your life are when you buy a new boat and when you sell a boat. For my husband and I, the saying reigns supreme in regard to the buying experience we had at Longshore Boats. As previous owners of two Scout Boats, we were fairly certain we were in the market for our third Scout until we met the dynamic duo of Stephen Parulis, Boating Advisor and Jerson Baires, Yard Foreman at Longshore Boats.Stephen and Jerson spent over 3 hours with us, explaining every minute detail of the 230 EdgeWater Center Console. From bow to stern, there wasnt any feature they missed. Their in-depth brand and product knowledge; coupled with their personalities enticed us to schedule a Sea Trial with them. We were astounded by the way the boat road. It was obvious from previously owing a 28 Scout, that the EdgeWater 230 ride was far better than any 28 Scout or below. For anyone interested in an incredibly solid and smooth ride, do yourself a favor and schedule a Sea Trial on an EdgeWater Boat from Longshore Boats. You will NOT be disappointed!

My entire purchasing experience (this includes the first trip there to gather information until I pulled my new boat off of their lot) was first class. This is saying a lot because I do not live in CHARLESTON and had to handle a number of things via phone, email, and text messages. My first visit is when I met Stephen Parulis. I did not call ahead and setup an appointment, I just walked in. Stephen was extremely patient and went over a great deal of information regarding the boat I was interested in (Robalo 246 Cayman). They had two of them onsite and we went over both of them in detail. He offered to take me on a ride on a future date to see how the boat operates firsthand. I took him up on this and he did a great job of covering the boat details from front to back. After this I scheduled a follow up meeting with him and told him the accessories that I was interested in. We went back over both of the boats again. He then emailed me the pricing for both of the boats so I could make an informed decision. I purchased the one I wanted and when it was ready Stephen scheduled an appointment for me to come get the boat and take it out for an on water orientation. This was very beneficial. Stephen treated me first class through the entire process. Even after taking the boat I have continued to exchange information with him and he has been extremely responsive. I highly recommend him and Longshore Boats!

Working with Tim and Hector was great when I purchased a 21 Chaparral. They are knowledgeable and straight forward with no car salesman stuff. After shopping around for different boats and places to buy them I am quite happy I did business with Longshore.

Paul and the staff in the service department did an excellent job diagnosing and correcting problems on my 2005 Mercury Outboard EFI. Highly recommended!

Stephen and Longshore Boats are amazing! We had a lot of questions when we started looking for our first family boat. The entire staff was super helpful and welcoming. They worked with us to find a good fit for our family. We never felt pressured at any time. We look forward to many good times on our new boat and cant thank Stephen and team enough!

After many months of searching new and used boats, I walked into Longshore and I was immediately greeted and asked if I had been helped! This is significant because out of all of the dealers from Mt. Pleasant to John's Island Longshore Boats was the only ones that did this! Tim was a great help with everything from accessories to financing, always there with the answers! Another plus was the Captains Delivery, Captain Tom was great and really informative for both my begging boater wife as well as some awesome local knowledge to a transplant experienced boater like myself. I would recommend Longshore Boats to anyone and everyone and have zero remorse on doing so!

Needed them to pick up our boat 60 miles away, bring it back and fix it. They were very helpful with this when other dealerships were not.

I purchased a used Edgewater from Hector. He was very professional and was able to deal through a few issues and delivered on all his promises. The staff is very polite and also professional and I would purchase another boat from Hector with his honesty.
