My husband Albert and I are not the ones to usually write reviews unless totally necessary. We purchased a boat last year during quarantine being rookie boat owners and I must say I have to give a wonderful reviews to the following personnel who have truly given my husband a great customer service experience with lots of patience. SHOUT out to GARY and MIKE from the parts department, FERNANDO - Service Manager who has lots of patience with my husbands 100 questions. Last but not least SHANTEL - Warranty Manager who is so knowledgeable, patient and friendly and just overall the BOMB! Bob Hewes is lucky to have all of them in their organization. God Bless them all and wish them continued success.

Good Morning,Just wanted to take a few moments and tell you about our experience buying from Bob Hewes boats our salesman was Eric. We honestly could not ask for a better guy or experience! This is our first boat purchase ever we bought used and was hesitant at first but Eric put our mind at ease! Any picture he could send us he did and any information or anything at all we asked about it was answered! We had looked for a boat for 2 1/2 months straight and called all over Florida and he was the very first to call us back after leaving a voicemail about another boat that had already been sold and let us know about a boat that was going to be coming for sale that wasnt on the lot and the next day we put a deposit down and a week later we were there picking up our boat! Couldnt ask for a better experience from the sea trail which the Captain and Eric both took their time making sure we knew every detail before taking our boat home. We really appreciate the experience and making buying a boat as easy and convenient as can be ! My husband has dealt with a lot of salesmen in his time with his line of work and Eric is by far the best and easiest he has ever worked with !Thank you again!Rey and Emily Luis2018 Robolo 180

We were extremely pleased with the buying experience through Bob Hewes. Our salesman, Ernie, took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered and was always willing to help out when needed, even on the weekends. The entire staff was very helpful, from the initial sale all the way through delivery.

Special Thanks to Ernie Martinez from Bob Hewes Boats with helping my family and I through the buying process of our Brand New Robalo R272. Ernie was knowledgeable & very professional throughout the entire process. He made us feel as part of the family & would answer our calls on the weekends whenever we had any questions or concerns. This made us confident in our decision to move forward with the buying process & had our new boat delivered on Aug 19, 2020. Special thanks to Ernie Martinez....

After purchasing a R317 at Bob Hewes, multiple issues have come up just a couple of months after. I understand that this happens, but when its not taken care of in a professional manner and multiple weeks have gone by where both Bob Hewes owners have been notified and not a single call has been provided thats pretty unfortunate. Requesting for me to spend money out of pocket for something that was not fully disclosed during a sales process and for a warranty issue is unprofessional when purchasing a new boat. Hopefully this can get resolved correctly.

Our salesperson Ernie did a great job walking us through the process up to delivery of our new boat, which we love! After the sale, Ernie stepped in and helped us on service items and stayed with us every step of the way.

Wonderful experience purchasing my Robalo from Bob Hewes Boats. We fell in love the Robalo R272 at the 2020 Miami boat show. Ernie Martinez was our sales man and he gave us an amazing deal. He answered every question and concern right away and really took care of us along the way as if we were family. We couldn’t be happier with our new purchase and we are looking forward to making wonderful memories. Thank you Bob Hewes Boats for your excellent team and services.

Walked into Bob Hewes dealer in Miami and was met by a sales associate Ernie. Spent some time going over different models and options. I took a test drive in the R207 and decided to buy. I special ordered a Robalo R207 in March and of course the stupid Covid thing shut down the factory in Georgia for a few weeks but boat was delivered in June exactly as I ordered. Ernie spent a great deal of time going over all equipment and features of my new boat. I am very happy with the service and the product. Will buy again from Ernie and Bob Hewes.

Everyone at Bobs is so courteous, especially Fernando. He treats all the customers as if you just bought a yacht when you are perhaps just really going for maintenance on your water craft. He speaks Spanish and truly understands the customers. I am very happy I purchased my motor here.

Review №44

I purchased 2 new T25LA outboards about two years ago. One unit has been a little difficult to shift for a month and several weeks ago froze in neutral. I tracked the issue down to the shift link and called the dealer who had told me to feel free to call if I had problems. All I wanted was to know if it would be covered by the warranty. If not, some suggestions on removing the link. Instead I was lectured to and heard someone in the background trying to encourage the person talking to me to get both units brought in for servicing the lower unit. I have the needed parts for servicing the lower unit. The issue with shifting was not a lower unit problem.When the lecture was over I realized I would get no help. I now have the shift link in hand. I removed it. The unit will not turn in the brackets. There are no lubrication points. It looks like metal on plastic. The plastic could have swollen. The bracket showed no sign of rust. Hard to believe the service department has either never seen this before and could not have agreed with my summation and could not have offered suggestions. I have ordered the replacement parts.

What an incredible boat buying experience!!! We had been looking at the Robalo R272 for almost a year and then connected with Sales Executive, Alvaro, who provided such phenomenal service and assured us this was truly the boat we were meant for... he was SOO right! We are in love!COVID-19 didn’t stop Bob Hewes Boats from getting us processed and out on the water... taking delivery was one of our brightest days in weeks.What an amazing team... many thanks to Jim for taking the time to meet with us personally and deliver the boat. Could not be happier with the stellar service and quality is the boat!

Picked up a brand new pathfinder from here last year. After a few trips, the fuel gauge stopped working and the panel light became very dim, I contacted the service department and they took care of the boat and fixed all the issues. I’m very happy with my experience overall, Alvaro is the man if you are in the market for a great boat. I will continue to use this location for the years to come even though they are out of my way. Thanks BHB!

I had a great experience at Bob Hewes. Knew exactly what boat I wanted (R246 Cayman) and walked in and spoke with the salesman (Ernie Martinez). He walked me through every inch of the boat and did not try to upsell me on anything. He actually saved me money on some of his recommendations. The whole experience including financing was smooth as can be. The delivery captain (Capt Danny) also made sure I understood every inch of the boat and took his time with me during the sea trial. I would recommend Robalo, Bob Hewes and Ernie Martinez to anyone interested in buying a boat!

I bought a brand new 2017 265 Robalo at the North Miami location. I live in Georgia, and I had an issue with the seats on the boat. I called the service department, and I talked to Fernando Molina. He really helped me out, and called the Robalo company himself to order new cushions for my boat. Since I live in Georgia, Fernando Molina did everything possible to find me a dealer closer to where I live, so I did not have to drive to Miami. Atlanta Marine, a dealership close to me, called me a few days ago to tell me Fernando Molina took care of everything, so all I need to do is take my boat to them and get my new cushions. THANK YOU FERNANDO MOLINA FOR GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Dont waste your time and money here. I purchased 100 hr parts here and Juan gave me one spark plug that was different. When i went to return the $5.66 part, they would not accept the return. I was planning on buying over $125 in other parts and have spent quite a bit in the past.Still running an old, inflexible business model in a dump of a location has impacted their ability to make good decisions and provide service. All of my future business and my friends are going elsewhere. Hope the $5.66 spark plug was worth it.

Ive purchased 2 boats from Bob Hewes and the level of service provided is something you can only dream about when buying a boat.

Juan helped me out and went above and beyond what he needed to do. I had a warranty issue that was way over the time limit and he could have just told me he contacted the manufacturer and they would not do anything. Instead he called me back and advised they were going to replace my trailer that had been out of warranty for 2 years!! I really appreciate it and will be going back there for my next boat. Thanks!

I saw a boat they have listed on boat trader. I’ve called twice because I’m very interested in it and both times someone answered then forwarded me to the sales department were it would ring until answer machine answered and I left a message both times with my information to please call back and never heard back from them. I guess they have enough money they don’t need to call people back who are interested. This is over a week spand.

Just purchased my first boat, the R227. I had a great experience with Ernie, sales manager, and with Fernando, Rob & Chantel, service team. The BH team does their best to make sure you are 100% satisfied. My brand new boat did come with some warranty issues, but the BH team is doing their best to make it right.

What a great experience it was to get my boat fixed up and ready for the summer. The Mechanics where great and very knowledgeable. They recommended me to fix a couple things that I didnt notice before that would have given me problems in the future. They where able to fix a couple stress cracks helped me pick out a new GPS/Depthfinder and installed it for me. Boat looks brand new again. The staff is very professional and courteous. A+ in my book!

Recently completed a repower of my 35 Pursuit with twin Yamaha F300s which I acquired via Pedro in thier outboard sales division. Needless to say his customer service, professionalism and his overall great attitutde won me. over from the very begining. In additon to all this his pricing was the best in all of South Florida and believe me I shopped around via all my contacts. Ive been an active boat owner for over 30 years and have seen just about everything in this industry and in my opinion the Bob Hewes Team and espicially Pedro are a tier above everyone else. Thanks Pedro !!

Both my wife decided to buy our second Robalo from Bob Hewes. Buying our 2017 246 Caymen from Bob Hewes has been such a great experience starting from the boat show back in May 2016, all the way to delivery.Krissy and Brian were so helpful at the boat show; they were taking their time to explain and answer questions we had. Krissy continued to be the contact person from that point on. Jim took the time to go over all the paper work, and was very accommodating.Richard, one of the greatest guy we have met, took us on our boat for a water test. In addition, he delivered the boat this morning, then came to our home and had coffee with us.Buying a boat is one thing, but buying a boat from Bob Hewes went beyond our own expectations. The friendliness, professionalism and dedication is exactly what it should be for every business out there.Sincere appreciation to Krissy, Brian, Jim and of course Richard.Marcel and Elizabeth Giguere

I am a professional complainer... That said, I ONLY complain when things go right. I bought a new Robalo R-242 from Bob Hewes, almost 3 years ago. I had 1 occasion to have service done & it was taken care of, no issue...2 days ago, I went out & uncovered my boat to use it with friends for the day. To start, my boat floats 7/24. I usually leave my battery switch in the #1 or #2 position. When I switched to Both, the main battery switch failed. No action, no switching. then the boat went dead. About a minute later, it came to life again & everything was functioning. The engine trimmed down & ran. I checked it a few times & said, O.K., We get home today, or I call Tow Boat US. I was staying local. It got us home, no issues. After docking, I flushed the engine trimmed it up & then the boat was dead again.Yesterday at 10 or so, I spoke with Fernando, the B.H. Service Manager. he understood the nature of a boat, dead in the water. No bilge pumps, nothing... He also mentioned about the boat show coming up & may not have the resources to get to my boat before then. Today, the next day, I got a call from Fernando, saying a mechanic was on the way to my boat to complete the service & would check the entire electrical system. THats Response!When we buy complex machines such as a car, a boat, or a plane we will need service. I happen to own all 3...We really do not know how the service & support from a dealer will be until we come to use it.Fernando & the team at Bob Hewes showed me that customer service is not a cute phrase, but is action. They took action & made me a client for life. I can sell my boat at any time, but I will stay with Bob Hewes, as a client.I own a service business & understand customer happiness.....They made me a Life Long customer, today. Thanks Fernando!
