7. 1.0 Brightside Marine (2 reviews)
   - Worst experience ever!
   Boat Rentals
   
   
   Brightside Marine -- a poorly managed business with serious cash flow problems. They over promise, under deliver, behave abusively and held our boat hostage until we arrived with a Sheriff and $2,200 in cash. This sad story started last summer. We brought our 17’ fishing boat to Shawn Grant, owner of Brightside. He was knowledgeable and immediately diagnosed the problem. The transom was rotten. They could store and winterize the boat, and have it fixed by mid June 2022. Red flag #1: November 2021 we receive a call asking us to prepay for the storage/winterization, or they can’t meet payroll. $1,189 paid by credit card. Red flag #2: After my husband telephoned several times, Shawn said, “Stop calling and bothering the help. Don’t call us! We’ll call you!” And then he blocked his calls. Red flag #3: Mid June 2022, the boat hasn’t been started yet. They call with a new quote of $6,000 and request a 50% deposit. $3,000 paid by credit card. Red flag #4: Four days before we arrive, text comes in asking for another $2,000. They’ve “burned” thru the deposit and need more funds. The end’s in site, so we again pay by credit card. Arrive in Maine 7/2. Boat not ready until 7/13!! In the meantime, no loaner boat available. Last straw, Shawn calls yelling about our interaction with the staff on why the boat wasn’t ready on time. In a loud, threatening voice he said he was closing our account and would no longer accept a credit card. Show up with $2,200 in $100 bills. Pay in cash or NO boat! That’s when we called the Sheriff, who thankfully went with us to get the boat. Turns out, this wasn’t their first call about Shawn and Brightside Marine. And I suspect, it won’t be their last.
