Dockside Landing Boat & Yacht Sales Customer Testimonials
- From Jeff Dash...owner of 2004 Formula 280 SS
(from 2008 Formula Rendezvous)
To Craig Merrell:
First day on
the water this season my starboard impeller melted. I called
the Sales Department, and Jason Marchese, Sales Manager, reached
out to Rob Upson, Service Manager. Rob called me within one
hour and the next morning at 8:00 a.m., Leon Kutkowski, Master
Technician arrived at my house to make the necessary repairs,
and I was then boating by 10:00 a.m. Thanks for the great
response and service!
- From Bill Freyer...owner of 2004 Formula 34 PC
(from 2008 Formula Rendezvous)
To Craig Merrell:
Formula
Rendezvous 2006! Pouring rain…eating clams and BBQ under the
pavilion with Scott & Shelly Porter, Craig Merrell, Joel Holden,
Jennifer Holden, and Formula family friends…joking, laughing,
and ignoring the washout! Once the rain let up, we played
horseshoes, swam and had a wonderful time. We did not let the
rain ruin our Rendezvous! On such a cold, damp day I never felt
such warmth amongst friends – old and new! Thanks Dockside!
- From Gordon Holmes...owner of 1987 Formula 25 PC
(from 2008 Formula Rendezvous)
To Craig Merrell:
Three years
ago, when the monsoons descended upon Black Mountain Point, the
Formula Rendezvous gathering place, the few and the brave
Formula diehards joined together to celebrate the Second Annual
Formula Rendezvous. The Dockside gang donned black garbage bags
while helping to dock boats. When the winds blew, all Formula
boats held fast, even the oldest Formula of all owned by Gordon
Holmes. The Formula family – Craig Merrell, Joel Holden, Jason
Marchese, Jennifer Holden, and more smiled throughout the
Rendezvous. Lasting friendships were made under the lean-to,
because of course we all have Formula fever forever!
- From Tom & Debbie Clinton...owners of 2005 Formula
260 SS (from 2008 Formula Rendezvous)
To Craig Merrell:
My husband & I
had a 25 year old Chaparral boat. We had always dreamed of
having a Formula. My husband would always say when we were on
the lake – there’s a Formula – there’s another Formula - he had
a glint in his eyes when ever he saw one! I told him he never
looked at me the way he looked at a Formula! Through Craig
Merrell, we were able to get a little “Formula Fix” here and
there. When our 25 year old boat bit the dust – Craig Merrell
helped make our dreams come true! Now we both look at our new
Formula with that glint in our eyes – we love it!
- From Edward Kehn...owner of 2006 Formula 292 FASTech
(purchased April 2006)
To Jason Marchese:
First I wanted to thank you for convincing me to purchase the
2006 292 FASTech, it is a beauty. Your dealership has been
a pleasure to deal with and very helpful. You can be sure
that I will recommend you guys to everyone interested in a new
boat.
I had an opportunity to take it out for a maiden voyage on
Saturday, and was very impressed with the power and handling of
this new boat. I thank you again and it was a pleasure
dealing with all of you.

- From Greg Polis...owner of 2005 Formula 280 SS
(purchased March 2006):
To: Craig
Merrell
Craig, I just
wanted to send you an email to let you know how satisfied I am
with your company. In my business, just like in yours, I deal
with many customers and, unfortunately, customers are quick to
complain when they are dissatisfied, but very rarely do you hear
from the happy ones. Well, I am one satisfied Dockside Landing
customer and I wanted you to know about it.
Two weeks ago
I received delivery of my 2005 Formula 280 SS which I purchased
from Dockside Landing. The entire experience my wife and I had
dealing with your company was a pleasure.
The first
person I spoke to several months ago was Jason Marchese. Jason
is a real professional. What makes Jason a great salesperson is
the fact that he truly listens to the customer. He doesn’t just
listen in order to respond, but he listens to his customers
because he really wants to understand what his customer needs to
satisfy their boating requirements.
After Jason
finalized the order, I had the pleasure of dealing with Joel for
the delivery to Long Island. Joel kept me up to date every step
of the way regarding the delivery.
Whenever I
called Dockside Landing I was greeted by Jennifer who answered
the telephone. Jennifer was always cheerful and always very
helpful.
And finally I
met Phillip who actually drove the truck and made the delivery
of my new boat to Long Island. Phillip arrived at 5:00 p.m.
after driving all day. Phillip stayed with me for about 2 hours
showing me things I should know about the boat. Even though
Phillip had a long drive home, he stayed with me in the dark,
cold weather to teach me about my new boat. Phillip went the
extra mile.
Craig,
the bottom line is you are a lucky guy to have such a wonderful
group of employees. I will recommend Dockside Landing to my
friends and family. When it comes time to upgrade my 2005
Formula 280 SS, I will remember Jason, Joel, Jennifer and
Phillip, and Dockside Landing will get my business again.
Regards,
Greg Polis
“…Since this is
my first boat, I needed to balance between getting the best (a
Formula) and cost. As a result, I initially considered a used
Formula and was looking at ’05 leftovers. In this process, I
had the opportunity to speak with a few other Formula dealers.
Jason Marchese from Dockside Landing deserves special praise.
Even though I have never met Jason and he knew that if I was to
purchase an ’06 that I would use my local dealer, Jason was very
helpful and discussed the merits of Formula ownership and the
various options available on the 260 Bowrider. He is a great
representative for Formula and shows that Formula is one team.
I cannot wait to begin boating with Formula.”
Sincerely,
Scott A.
