Your right, there are two sides to every story, heres my side. I ve been with WAM for apx 10 yrs. They are my first and only marina experience. A few years back I was in Winter Harbor with a boat load when the rear main seal blew and all the oil leaked into the bilge. This was about 3PM Sat afternoon. I called WAM and spoke to Dierdre. She came in her boat, towed me to Rattlesnake so I could drop off my quests, and then back to WAM. I happened to also have a smaller boat stored at the marina which I hadnt gotten around to taking home yet. This boat had not been summerized yet, at my request. It is now after normal hours. They got the other boat out of storage, cleaned it up, did a safety inspection, charged and installed a replacement battery, Barbara came in from home to register it for me and they got me on my way and I was able to have dinner with my quests. I recently bought a new boat from Silver Sands. There were a few problems with the canvas so Silver Sands wanted to put it in thier shop where it was warm so they could fix the problem. At that point they wanted to just keep it there as it was late Oct. When I explained what was happening to Brian and Dierdre at WAM, they had no problem with letting Silver Sands work on the boat and store the boat and there was never a question about getting my slip back the following year. I like it there and I like the people there, the owners, employees and other renters. 99% of everyone there will go out of thier way to help you.
