Patrick did an excellent job communicating with the purchase of my boat. He followed through and got me a great deal. I am extremely satisfied with all that he did.

David (Seller)
I worked with Patrick Mooney to sell my boat in Spring of 2023. I was initially reluctant because, while a 2021, the boat was basically new and I wanted to get a good price in which both the new owner and I would feel we were getting a good deal. From me dropping off my boat to delivery of sale proceed funds, Patrick made the process extremely smooth and easy by communicating clearly and being responsive to my questions. He provided updates throughout the process and gave me complete confidence in his ability to close this deal to the satisfaction of both the buyer and me. At all times, I felt like the boat and my interests were in good hands. I would highly recommend Patrick on either the buy or sell side. Thanks.-Anonymous -
Patrick and Clarks Landing made the process of buying a pre-owned boat easy. He demonstrated expertise and also understood/ addressed all my questions and needs exceptionally. I would recommend Clarks Landing and Patrick Mooney to anyone!

We took delivery of our Cutwater 248C through Clarks Landing at the end of October. Zak Hutton and the staff of Clarks Landing were very professional and helpful throughout the process. We felt like we new Zak even before meeting him after watching his informative YouTube videos. Zak is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Cutwater. He kept us informed of the boats progress along the way and the staff were great with getting us insurance quotes and securing financing. I would highly recommend Zak and Clarks Landing!
John WolfStore Location: New Jersey -
After recently purchasing a used boat from Clarks Landing we cannot be happier with our experience and the entire process. The professionals were all very cordial and responsive making it a joy to work with them remotely and on site. In particular, Zak Hutton was invaluable to us by answering our questions and explaining next steps, etc. We recommend calling Zak for your boat purchase or search!
Robert MenzieStore Location: New Jersey -
We had a very positive experience buying our boat from Clarks Landing Yacht Sales. Zak was very knowledgeable and helpful. He made our boat shopping and purchase a pleasure.

We had a great experience with Clarks Landing. Working with Zak and the entire sales team was amazing from start to finish. We would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to purchase their dream boat. Truly awesome team and an absolutely beautiful Cutwater 24 Dual Console! - Peter
Peter Scholato, Point Pleasant, NJStore Location: New Jersey -
I was in search of a used boat and stopped into Clarks Landing. I met Zak Hutton who reviewed the used inventory with me and really discussed what my needs were. Zak guided me to a 2022 Cutwater that was everything I was looking for in a boat. His knowledge of the boats design and options was incredible. He is so personable and professional too. He made the entire purchase experience great and delivered everything as promised, including great financing rates, on time delivery and captains lessons. I am so thrilled with the purchase that I look forward to a long lasting relationship with Clarks Landing for service, winterization and future boat purchases. Great job Zak and Team Clarks Landing!
Arthur Hornak, Long Branch, NJStore Location: New Jersey -
Big Thank You to the Clarks Landing Team. Especially Zak Hutton, who knows every part of his boats and lets the boat sell itself. Not your typical "sales guy," and that I really appreciate. No pressure, but he has all the answers and there when you need him. When he's busy with another client, Michael steps in and is equally amazing, making you feel like nothing is more important than his conversation with you. It doesn't stop there. The service team showed us exactly how everything works, and their fantastic Captain would not leave us until our new Cutwater was safely on our lift. Truly awesome team and an absolutely beautiful new Cutwater C-24 Coupe.

Purchased a Beneteau 23 FT Barracuda. The sales and service staff has been outstanding in supporting my purchase. They follow-up to ensure there are no issues down range after purchase. Would highly recommend Clark's to all my friends if you are thinking about purchasing a boat in either Maryland or New Jersey.
CharlesStore Location: New Jersey -
We've purchased two boats through the team at Clark's Landing and highly recommend them. The service department perform great work and excellent attention to detail. Service Manager Larry deserves lots of credit for keeping everything moving smoothly. Thank you! - Richard Would you be able to rotate between different testimonials? If so, we have a 2nd one: Ive been boating for over 50 years and have purchased more than 10 boats over 40 feet. My experience with Clarks Landing has been OUTSTANDING! Paul, Dave, and the Service department were friendly and thorough. Guys youre THE BEST!

We recently purchased a used Regal boat at Clarks Landing, Paul and Dave took good care of us and our needs. They went above and beyond to meets our needs including a expensive repair just prior to delivery at no charge to us. We will return when we need our next boat.
WarrenStore Location: New Jersey -
A great experience in our new boat purchase. Everyone at each interaction was receptive and helpful. Responsive to emails, phone calls and quick to answer questions, provide pricing option requests. Always available to our schedule for boat tours, sea trials and captain days. Great facility and marina to meet all needs.
RodneyStore Location: New Jersey -
I have owned and operated many boats over more than sixty years and have dealt with numerous marinas and boat dealers. My experience with Clarks Marine was first class in every way. I traded in a boat i had owned for many years. The trade in value i was offered was very fair and the price of the new boat price as well. Orientation and service has been professional and thorough. In summary, i highly recommend Clarks Landing.
JimStore Location: New Jersey -
I am over 70 years old and after 50 plus years of boat ownership, have finally decided to make my life simpler. I did not want to sell my boat myself. I love the boat. It has been the culmination of my entire boating experience. I had it custom-built to my specifications. Choosing the boat that I did was the dream of my lifetime. Selling her was like abandoning loved one and I wanted to make it as painless as I could. Zak listened to my story and helped me through my sorrow. He was very positive all the way through the process. He explained every step of the listing and sale. I knew exactly what to expect and every time estimate that he gave was realistic. He never once disappointed me in his approach or commitment. Overall, I felt very comfortable dealing with him.
BobStore Location: New Jersey -
I have bought and sold multiple boats with the guidance of Dave Patnaude of Clarks Landing Marina. Each and every transaction was seamless and Dave goes above and beyond to satisfy his clients. He is honest, trustworthy, a true gentleman; someone I not only consider my boat "guy" but someone that has become a FRIEND. The most recent transaction was selling our 2019 Monterey 295SY. I contacted Dave to see if there was a opportunity for him to sell the boat. Within moments of contacting Dave, he gave me a call to gather the necessary information to place a value on the boat and get it listed for sale. After less that 2 weeks of listing the boat for sale, and multiple offers, Dave presented a competitive offer to complete a transaction. All the paperwork was completed remotely, in a timely fashion, with great communication. I highly recommend contacting Dave for all of your boating needs. He will surely deliver 110%.

Matt Weimer was our broker for our recent purchase of a used Azimut Magellano 43 (listed with a different brokerage). Matt went above and beyond for us and spent an entire day with us on the boat after closing.
Also, Heather Lamb did an amazing job doing everything she could to get us closed in a short period of time. She always had a positive attitude despite our anxiety. We highly recommend Matt, Heather, and Clarkes Landing.Susan AnderheggenStore Location: Maryland -
We worked with Matt Weimer to buy an Beneteau Oceanis 45 and sell a Catalina 350. From day one Matt went the extra mile to provide an exceptional level of service. He has a deep understanding of the marine industry and provides a wealth of important knowledge and assistance during the process. In addition, his marine connections seem endless. We also had a great experience getting some service performed at Clark's Landing. Matt is definitely your guy if you are looking to buy or sell a boat.

Our entire experience working with Paul Lash and the support staff at Clarks Landing was wonderful and a sincere pleasure! We love our new SeaRay!!!
Tom and Judy Harvey, Rhodesdale, MARYLANDStore Location: Maryland -
Your listing for the 460 sea ray was accurate, honest and current, the boat met the high expectations you gave in every category and you obviously knew the boat and its history well. You provided me with service records that you already had and were able to provide instantly. You stayed late and came in early on Sunday to accommodate our inspections and even lined up hotel reservations for me on my trips to Maryland for the survey, engine survey and spring cleaning.KT, you and Clarks landing get 10 stars across the board in every category. Lets not forget Heather and the paperwork that was flawless and delivered to all parties seamlessly for a super smooth closing experience. Thank you for your excellent service, I would highly recommend Clarks landing and you personally to anyone looking to list their sea ray for sale, or looking to move up to a larger boat.
John John, CONNECTICUStore Location: Maryland -
The team at Clark's Landing was terrific to work with. They went out of their way to help us through some very trying personal circumstances. Beth is an amazing person. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a boat. She is professional to the core. Five stars from us! I should also mention sales manager Dave, Captain Paul and Fred in the service/warranty department! And Stephanie is still helping us sort out some paperwork glitches! Thanks to all of you at Clark's Landing. We LOVE our new Antares 11 Flybridge!!! It's a terrific boat.
Kira SterlingStore Location: Maryland -
We have bought 2 boats from Clark's Landing Yacht Sales and we would never go anywhere else. From the looking to the purchase they made it a breeze. The sales department all the way to delivery and storage has been nothing but amazing! They treat you like friends and actually that is what we are, the General Manager will kindly give out his number for anything that might arise. If you are looking to purchase a boat look no further, Clark's Landing Yacht Sales has your back!
Jimmy BareStore Location: Maryland -
I recently purchased an SLX Searay from DAVE and his team out of Maryland. Each time that I met with them and went through the boat with their technicians, was a pleasurable experience. Dave and his team are extremely responsive whenever I had questions or minor issues. Literally the next day someone was available to look into a minor issue for me. Now that my boat has been launched in New Jersey where I live, the Point Pleasant team has been equally as accommodating and responsive. I look forward to a long relationship with Clark's Landing and Dave.
Jason SponzilliStore Location: Maryland -
I don't normally take the time to leave reviews but after the recent purchase of our Beneteau Antares 9 from Clark's Landing of Shady Side I thought it warranted time to send praise based on my wife and I's experience. Without question the sales team lead by Dave was wonderful and our rep Beth helped us throughout the process and was always there to answer questions (even on her day off) and even helped us get a better price for our trade too! Stephanie and Heather did a quick and painless job of getting us approved, financed and out the door; which in my experience is usually dreadful in the boat industry. Fred in service has been fantastic anytime we have had an issue or more so a question relating to mechanical things throughout the boat as I learn how the French build these babies! I truly appreciate the experience at Clark's and couldn't be happier with our purchase!
Brian AndersonStore Location: Maryland -
This was a difficult year to buy a boat with historic low inventory, but the team at Clarks Landing did a great job helping to manage through it. We are first time boat owners and Daves team has been a pleasure to work with. Post purchase, Fred and Larry have been responsive and knowledgeable. We would recommend them to others.
Robert BalazsStore Location: Maryland -
Dave and team are really fantastic! Very thorough, helpful, and easy to work with. I've really enjoyed working with them and will be back again and again!
Seth LehnerStore Location: Maryland -
Clarks Landing Yacht Sales is a top notch operation! From the very first phone call of interest to the delivery, these guys know the boating business. We were out of town buyers and they lined everything up for us to get our new boat home. We could not be more happy. Thank you and keep delivering the boating dream:)
Peter DonatStore Location: Maryland -
Worked with Dave and he was able to list our boat and recommend a price that would sell. Within days of listing, our boat had a contract and cash in hand only a few weeks later. If you want to sell your boat, this is the guy to get it sold.
David JonesStore Location: Maryland -
Dave Patnaude is one of the best. We just purchased our new boat from him this year (2nd boat from Dave), and specifically sought him out because of the great service, responsiveness and honesty he always gives us. We have had nothing but great service from Clark's and the whole team there seems to go above and beyond. After having purchased 6 boats in the past 20 years, I would say Dave is one of the best to work with!
Jennifer BobkowskiStore Location: Maryland -
High marks to the management and staff at Clarks Landing in both Shady Side MD and Point Pleasant NJ. I purchased a new Beneteau ST 44. I found the process from sales, to commissioning/delivery, and follow up service to be professional, courteous, and generally punctual and well coordinated. As with any new boat purchase there will always be some items that will require follow up well after conclusion of the sale. I found both the sales and service staff to be knowledgeable and thorough in their follow up and commitment to resolving such issues. Well done Clarks Landing!
Frans Van RiemsdykStore Location: Maryland -
As a first time boat owner (buyer) there were many worries and concerns before I went to Clarks Landing and met Dave. But when I met Dave all those were diminished, he guided me through the whole buying process without wasting my time. When service was needed after I pick up the boat, for the items that were found during the pre-delivery inspection. He was very considerate of my time and my convenience for the schedule. He personally came to pick up my GT36 from my dock for service and kept me updated during the service. Great service and kindness you hardly see these days. Highly recommend Dave and Clarks Landing.
Perry ChoStore Location: Maryland -
When my 2010 Sundancer 370 needed a little work the entire team at Clarks Landing was just super helpful. It was clearly a priority for them to get me back on the water and they did just an excellent job diagnosing and fixing the problem. Super impressed highly recommend Clarks Landing. SeaRay Tom

Had a great experience with the team at Clarks Landing. Beth helped me get the boat I wanted and made the process easy. Dave, Larry and Andy did a great job with the check out, going over all the boat systems and making sure that I could tow it home safely. Thanks team!!
SV ChinadollStore Location: Maryland -
We just took delivery of our long anticipated Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Yacht from Clarks Landing Yachts in Shady Side MD. Our experience with the entire Sales & Service Team over the almost year long process from order to delivery was nothing less than a stellar experience. Manager Dave Patnaude & Yacht Sales Associate Beth Ciancaglini were top shelf throughout the sales process. Service Manager Larry Cress and his commissioning team were excellent and delivered our yacht in pristine condition in all respects. Based on our experience I would highly recommend Clarks Landing and the Sales & Service team to anyone interested in the fine yacht and boat products that they represent.

Paul made my out of state boat purchase stress free!! Helped coordinate all aspects of the deal from sea trial, survey to service work! It helps to have someone you can trust when you're over 400 miles away!!

I bought a new 2021 SDX 250 OB, Paul and Dave where fantastic to work with. Sea Ray has hit this one out of the park. This boat is loaded with so much cool stuff. I highly recommend Clarks Landing as a place to get your next boat. I will be back for my next one.

Zak Hutton is by far the best sales associate I've ever spoken to and that's not only in boat sales. It's unfortunate that every dealer doesn't have at least one of him running around. He went far and beyond to help me with my boat purchasing ordeal. Insanely knowledgeable about the products he sales, down to earth and best yet you don't feel like your getting taken advantage of dealing with him. Like you do with other sales associates. I honestly can't say enough great things about this guy! He is the one to go to if your looking to purchase a boat.

Where to start... From the first phone call I made to Clarks Landing to the day I picked up my new Cutwater C24. I must say has been an absolute amazing journey. When I first called I was greeted by Zak Hutton. He was very happy to help answer questions I had about the boat. And was more than happy to set up an appointment at my convenience. Upon arrive to Clark's Landing i was greeted once again by Zak in the parking lot. He came out to me to greet me!! Big points in my book for that. He then showed me the C24 they had in stock. We spend at least an hr on the boat as he showed be all about it. He was very knowledgeable and extremely easy to talk to. Most salesman can be pushy, to talkative and not in the moment with the customer. NOT WITH ZAK.. He was extremely easy to talk to, ask questions and learn about the boat. From that moment on i was sold. Shortly after that visit I put a deposit down on the next Cutwater C24 that was to be delivered. A few short months later she was here. It was an absolutely pleasure working with Zak Hutton and the Clarks Landing Team. I highly recommend them for you next boat purchase!!!!!!!!

Recently purchased a Swift Trawler 35 from Clarks Landing and don't know how I would have made it through without Beth's help. She was in touch with me the whole time and guided me through the entire process.

The staff of Clarks Landing, specifically Michael Longhi, Steve Bick and Zak Hutton, our salesman, and the repair crew recently performed a miracle that we would like to acknowledge.
Having purchased our boat in July, we had a problem with the engine manufactured by Mercury. The staff of Clarks Landing immediately took care of ordering the part which had to come all the way from Wisconsin and returned the boat to us in record time.The problem was in no way a reflection on the sale. Our salesman, Zak Hutton and the experienced staff of Clarks Landing were superior!
Our entire family, including 5 children who love the boat are very grateful for your care and attention. It was a pleasure doing business with Clarks Landing and we would recommend them to anyone purchasing a boat.John and Susan Hudacko -
I have been a casual customer of Clark's Landing Marina since the mid-1970s. Overall, I like their entire organization. I have had dinners at their restaurant as well. It is a wonderful place to have relaxing meal as the sun sets over the Manasquan River.
Zak, my salesman, has been a pleasure to work with. I am over 70 years old and after 50 plus years of boat ownership, have finally decided to make my life simpler. I did not want to sell my boat myself. I love the boat. It has been the culmination of my entire boating experience. I had it custom-built to my specifications.

He never once disappointed me in his approach or commitment. Overall, I felt very comfortable dealing with him.Bob Ellsworth -
Thank you for your suggestion to add an extended service plan to my brokerage listing. I think that is what really made the difference in selling my boat.

I never used to believe in extended warranties. You took care of my $9,872 claim which made me not only a believer but a preacher! Thank you Brunswick Product Protection!

Clarks Landing Yacht Sales Certified Pre-Owned boats with warranty are the only way to go, it was very comforting to see the issues I had covered under the plan. I am a used boat buyer in general and will buy only Certified Pre-Owned in the future from Clarks Landing Yacht Sales.

I was so happy with everyone at Clarks Landing, Mike was our salesmen he was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond our expectations. Darren was wonderful to work with and helped with the extended warranty and the financing. I would recommend Clarks to anyone who is in the market for a boat. thanks again (the Fords)

I have worked with Paul Lash on two occasions. Paul sold my boat for me within 1 week and the transaction was seamless. Paul sold me another boat and again went above and beyond to make the experience great. I would recommend Paul for your boating needs. Thanks

It has been my pleasure and my honor to be a client of Clarks Landing's Sales Manager Dave Patnaude. Having purchased and sold many boats over the years, I have found Dave to be the most genuine, honest, diligent and helpful sales person I have ever worked with in the marine industry.
As the representative of Clarks Landing, I am sure that Dave Patnaude presence has elevated Clarks Landing's Yacht Sales professionalism and service levels.
I 100% endorse Dave Patnaude and I am sure that Dave will be a valuable resource to the marina. And, I assure anybody who is fortunate enough to work with Dave, that you will not only be working with a great sales executive, you will be making a lifelong friend.Paul Kramer -
What made this whole purchase experience so smooth was the interactions I had with the Broker (Zak Hutton) at Clarks landing was his responsiveness and when he gave me a time to meet or call, he was always punctual, which is so rare in the boat brokerage industry. Also, I never felt he was rushing me in our conversations, again rare in this industry!
Frank Hearn -
Our family had overall a very good experience buying a used Cutwater model 24 at Clark's Landing. Our Sales person was Zak Hutton. Zak was easy to reach and customer oriented from showing, through Sea Trial and pick-up. I felt I was dealing with an honest, straight forward person backed by an well-established organization. The only reason for not receiving 5 stars had to do with some glitches on the seller side as they brokered the vessel. This extended the time to close but was OK as we were working in the offseason.

I just picked up A SeaRay bowrider I ordered from Clarks :Landing yesterday.. I couldn't have been more pleased. The sales person, Beth Ciancaglini, was knowledgable, flexible and very pleasant to deal with, They allowed me to store the boat at their yard for the winter. The Captains course when I finally picked it up yesterday was extremely helpful and every one I interacted with was pleasant and helpful. The boat was spotless and ready to go. I would recommend them without reservation.

I'm a first-time boat buyer and started out very apprehensive about the whole process because of how little I knew. I cannot recommend Clarks Landing and Zak Hutton there enough.He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, incredibly knowledgeable, and helped walk us through the process (including the sea trial!). I also appreciated his honesty in explaining competitor boats to us, going so far as helping us get tickets to the Atlantic City Boat Show to compare a few.Zak's honesty was refreshing and I'm so glad we found both him and Clarks. He was always available for questions as they came up, didn't put pressure on us to move quickly, and even accommodated bringing the boat to our new marina to ensure it would fit in our new slip.11/10 would absolutely buy the second boat from him and Clarks as well.
