Boating

Nice place

I had a great experience dealing with Collins Marine. John Zimdahl was extremely helpful with providing the information I was looking for regarding a 244 Xtreme. He contacted me in a timely manner and did not waste my time like many dealers do. Would recommend giving this place a chance for your next watercraft purchase!

We bought a new (to us) boat/motor and brought it to Brentwood to get some maintenance done after having some issues on our first trip out. The motor overheated...? They had the boat for over 2 weeks because they were busy with regulars needing service prior to the long weekend. Some very minor issues were eventually found and fixed. A bulb and lines changed for over $500.00. More money was spent on labour costs than actual parts. My husband asked them if they had checked a few different things to which they responded that they did not need replacing/maintenance. They told my husband that the motor had a “lot of hours on it but was running great”. He stressed that he was worried because we had young children and wanted to be safe on the water. He asked them to take it out for another test drive (extra cost) to be sure that they had found all the issues. He was positive it was an impeller issue and had brought the topic up a few times. Next trip out, ttwo weeks after repairs, the motor was dead after 20 minutes of use and we relied on the kindness of strangers to tow us to shore. Second opinion: Found that we had a blown impeller and cylinder and other big cost items. It was suggested to get a new motor! Wow!!! These guys either don’t know squat or know too much about how to take advantage of those who rely on them to keep their families safe. I am completely disgusted with how they treated our family. They wasted precious time that we could have used to return the boat or got some compensation.

Great Yatch club for the summer. Great food!

Great!!! Thank you Leo Becker. You were AWESOME. Our family is HAPPY to be a part of the ANCHOR MARINE family.

A very unique experience on the Grand! It's so great that Elora has an establishment like this. Highly recommended.

Had a snack at the restaurant. Friendly and excellent coffee

It's a beautiful location

Awesome accomodations! For a small marina they have all the charm and is so peaceful on the river. We'll come back again!

The best boat SHOW

I used to be a regular here about five plus years ago. The one thing I noticed when I booked a few weeks ago and again today is that the prices have really gone up. It is what I would call expensive now. I think I paid about half of what they charge now. The service seemed fine today with the lady I talked to. I've never had to wait long to get in the van and get going to our location. Everything there is fine. Nice to have the air conditioning on with the young chap that was driving today as the other guy was old school and did not put it on. The out door toilets could use a cleaning. The change rooms that I think no one used need to be upgraded and or fixed up somewhat. The outdoor sink no longer works as it did before a few years ago. There was no hand sanitizer there today after using the toilets. Little things like that would help. They have installed security cameras there that the previous owner never had. They have more kayaks now then I've ever seen. The vans look new and so is the staff. The parking is a bit tight but thats always been that way. Today when leaving at one pm I could barely get out as the three vans were parked where they load the canoes and I barely got through after manovering my car through a truck and another car. It is very convenient for me with this location. I won't be kayaking as much as I used to due to the prices but I guess they have their reasons for the increases.

Really great to see the Marina as vibrant and filled with great people like it was 20 years ago when I first visited.

Thank you Barrie police. We just wish you could arrest more aggressive and speedy drivers.
