RCR Yachts just sold our 29' Cabin Cruiser. Don and Tim helped us figure out a good price and they got it posted quickly across their network of websites (as it is the end of the boating season). They found a buyer in just a few weeks! We encountered a mechanical issue during the sea trial and they were so patient and helpful as we worked out a resolution together. Great guys to work with, very knowledgeable and friendly.

I recently had the very worst experience with a marina ( shall go unnamed) and the very best marina experience with RCR Yachts and their president Don Finkle and Rochester branch broker “Corbo” Corbishley. I won’t detail the “bad”. It would take too long and do no good But the good at RCR is well worth spreading the news. My newly bought Nordic Tug needed some work and improvements that were never done and I needed to get her home. I called Corbo and Don who knew me and said “I NEED HELP”. They are outstanding boat brokers and I had done business with them on several occasions I explained my predicament to them ( the Tug was not their sale). They organized a father and son “rescue team” to pick up my boat and bring her home. Corbo was good enough to drive all of us at some ungodly hour and by evening the boat was safely on its lift. RCR is a boat sales and brokerage company, not a repair facility but they went far out of their way to help a long time customer. I could not sing their praises long enough or loud enough. GREAT COMPANY , GREAT PEOPLE

Thank you, gentlemen, for your excellent degree of high level professionalism & outstanding customer service. I had given up hope on selling my boat so late in the season but you exceeded my expectations. Based on 10 years of our relationship, The RCR Yachts marine operation & Brokerage Operation & all RCR departments & support staff are top of the line in my book and in my opinion, are a credit to the industry. Congratulations on a job well done!

I was here for a party last night. It was great. It was a beautiful night along the water. We had a cookout with friends and it was Lots of fun and a little bit hidden. The view was really cool. You've got to see the geese and ducks loving life floating in the water on a hot night. It is fun seeing old buildings with a lot of history from a different angle then u normally get to see.

The crew that unstepped our mast on our sailboat Miles Away II are top notch, hard working fellows. They did an excellent job!! Thanks guys. We made it to the Erie Canal!! 😃

Upon returning to my sailboat after being out of town for 12 days, I found the charging cord disconnected from the charging pedistal for my boat and all three pedistal breakers were placed in the "off" position. I spoke to one other slip holder who had a similar issue that seemed to occur on or about August 1, 2024. Another slip holder noticed today, August 12, 2024 that his pedistal breakers were also turned "off". Local management could offer me no solution.

I recently commissioned my new sailboat at RCR Marina. Despite the fact that I bought the boat from another seller, RCR accommodated my every need from accepting delivery on a truck, storing, then launching and mast stepping. Naturally, there are puzzles that need to be solved in commissioning a new boat. In every way that I needed their help, it was given without hesitation. They helped me achieve the schedule that they described in advance as ambitious. I definitely recognize that this was all done for a customer that will, likely, never give them more business. They did exactly what I needed. Both of those things are unusual. Thank you RCR.

John Hukill

Patrick Kelly of RCR Yachts, Cleveland, was recommended to us by good friends, so we engaged him to help us sell our sailboat and buy a new one. We couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism, timely response and knowledge of sailboats. We live out of town and Patrick coordinated the entire process with the buyers, sellers, surveyors, and with the marinas for repairs and launch dates. His patience and guidance every step of the way was superior, and we would highly recommend Patrick and RCR Yachts to anyone looking to buy or sell a sailboat.

Alan Gould

We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Mike Foley and RCR Yachts. Mike acted as our buyer's broker in our quest to procure a 40' cruising sailboat. We found a gem in Toronto and started the process. Mike and RCR were there every step of the way to help us navigate all of the obstacles of buying a boat from Canada, up to and including arranging to meet customs officials to import the boat when we crossed the big pond. We will definitely use RCR for our next sale or purchase. Top notch organization all around.

Kim Abell

We engaged RCR's Mike Foley as our buyer's broker to help with our process. He provided multiple listings of boats with our desired characteristics, met us in Toronto to view two boats, found an outstanding surveyor and smoothed out a prickly seller / contract situation. He found us an insurance agent and oversaw an uneventful closing. He drove my father and me to Toronto for the delivery and even did the custom lettering for our transom! He was knowledgeable, extremely helpful and always responsive to our calls and texts. We are very happy with our purchase and the process and we give Mike and RCR the highest praise and thanks!

Mike Foley of RCR Yachts, Sodus Point went above and beyond in helping us buy our 2000 Hunter 420 sailboat. He was with us every step of the way through the buying process. Helping us with the survey and all the necessary paperwork. As a result of the survey, it was recommended we replace the rudder rather than attempt a repair. Mike spent the better part of a whole day helping us fit the new rudder just before our launch day. RCR Yachts is lucky to have a Yacht Broker as good as Mike Foley. Great buying experience.

I bought a used sailboat that was docked at RCR Buffalo from a private owner. Tearria and staff helped me from beginning through the delivery of the boat by truck with great service and patient help I would recommend them to all David Hersh

I worked with Mike Foley to buy a Tiara 3600 Open. Mike is exceptional. From day 1 to past the closing he far exceeded my expectations. I cannot say enough good things about him.

Hank was a terrific broker, spent time with me learning all the features of the boat and did a very effective job marketing it! Personal tours and online presentations as well! Mary in the office made the paperwork easy and kept me informed in real time! Very pleased. RCR is very professional!

RCR yachts in buffalo NY Unstepped the mast on my buddies 1986 Tayana 52'. The guys at RCR knew exactly what to do and they did it with no problems. The mast was removed in about 6 hours and they built a number of frames to secure it to the deck, we then traveled through the Erie Canal, down the Hudson, around Manhattan and back up the east river through hells gate into Long Island sound with no problems with the way the mast was secured. I highly recommend RCR in Buffalo NY, great bunch of guys.

Quality operation in all respects. I began this season with a lengthy list of repairs and upgrades for my 20 year old sailboat. RCR was able to attend to each in a timely fashion with quality work and at a fair and reasonable price. As in all such instances, you get what you pay for. At RCR, what you get is worth every penny.

Robert Reifeiss

Purchased a used sailboat from RCR Yachts (site unseen...yeah, I know, risky), and from day one working with RCR and their team, the process went unbelievably smooth and easy. From providing answers to questions, to providing additional photos, to packing the boat and setting up a truck for delivery to Plymouth MA, I could not have been happier. The boat was as expected, and more.

Timothy Bain

My experience with RCR Yachts is based on the past six years keeping our first/current sailboat at their Buffalo Ship Canal facility. My wife and I have come to know the maintenance and marina staff very well as we learn how to keep our 1885 Catalina 30 afloat. We have been fortunate that everyone at RCR is extremely personable, vastly knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned with providing quality service with integrity. The facility is well run and kept very clean and accessible for their patrons with grills, covered pavilions, restrooms with showers, and parking to provide for those who choose to spent their summers on the lake. They have floating docks that are well maintained, secure, and very protected from the lake while still being just a few minutes from open water. I highly recommend RCR Yachts for any marina and boat brokerage related needs.

Great people but the noise from the factories across the canal are a constant annoyance.

Excellent place to step or unstep your mast for the erie canal. Fast friendly and professional. We've used them twice and will be back.
