"My experience with Colony Marine was very positive. This was my first pontoon purchase. Dan Zako and staff answered all my questions and I never felt pressured. I also want to express my appreciation for the time spent with me at the delivery. The entire process was seamless and every time I drive my pontoon I get a huge smile on my face!"

"My wife and I have been very pleased with our overall experience with Colony Marine. We recently took delivery of our second boat. Our first Crest pontoon boat was delivered 9 years ago. We had wonderful service from Colony, from our first boat, to the delivery and maintenance throughout the years. We used the indoor storage every year and the pick-up in the fall and drop off in the spring always went off without a hitch. The sales, service and delivery team were always professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Eventually we decided to upgrade to a new Crest Pontoon. Dan and his staff helped with a seamless transition of our existing boat to the new boat. Any concerns we had, and questions were addressed to our satisfaction with the new purchase. Communication throughout the process was and still is excellent with Dan. We have been treated as though we were members of the Colony family, always ensuring our high expectations have been met. We love the new boat and recommend Colony Marine (Dan) very highly."

"Over time we have purchased three new Crest Pontoon boats from dealers up north. Recently we purchased our fourth Crest Pontoon boat through Colony Marine (Dan Zako). We can say Dan and the Colony team are highly professional, personable, service oriented, and act with a sense of urgency! This characterization resonated through Captain Ken who walked us through the new boat's features to loan officer Carrie to the service technician who emailed us back answers to numerous upgrade questions. Our purchasing experience was refreshing/fun and the entire process was focused around 'our experienc. Our cost target and delivery deliverables were met. Dan Zako and team exceeded our expectations and delivered us the exact pontoon boat we dreamed of! In short, we highly recommended Dan and Colony Marine."

"I just want to let everyone at Colony Marine know what a pleasurable experience it was dealing with Dan Zako and all the folds at the Waterford location. After my initial meeting with Dan, he was able to determine my needs and suggested I look at a Crest pontoon. I was happy he did. Dan got to know me and asked insightful questions to make sure this was the right boat for me. The purchase of the boat was a breeze as Colony took care of all the paperwork and dealings with the Secretary of State. Dan and Captain Ken delivered the boat as promised. They went threw all the operating procedures and off we went. I couldn't recommend Dan and Colony Marine high enough. The sale and service was exemplary."
-Doug Kahan

"We recently bought a new Crest pontoon from Colony Marine. Throughout the entire process Dan Zako was engaged with us and provided a fantastic experience, including showing up to launch the boat with us! We highly recommend Dan and Colony Marine if you are in market for a new boat..."
