Outstanding Service

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My overall experience was by far the best customer service experience I have received in over 2 years. I reached out to the company directly because one of the anchor kits I purchased through Amazon came defective. The rep was extremely courteous, personable and even quite funny in a much needed way. He responded by promptly sending me another kit free of charge. I will definitely be ordering from them again as well as sending my friends there, too. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Fantastic Experience

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I wish other companies were this good in their relationship with their customers. Being a first-time owner of an inflatable raft I have had many questions about motors, anchors, etc. I have found Newport Vessels to not only have great equipment but they back it up with A+ customer service. Their customer support is always extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They make it very easy.
