TOP-NOTCH SERVICE

Strong’s “Super Service” makes time on the water easy for the Galbo family

Larry Galbo originally became a Strong’s Marine client when he brought his boat to be serviced at our Southampton Marina and has been hooked ever since. “Everything is top notch,” Galbo said, “ we have been really happy with the service we ’ ve received the last few years ”

When it was time for the Galbos to upgrade their boat, they visited Strong’s at the New York Boat Show at the Javits Center in January 2023 With the help of Sales Consultant Drew Lanzetta, the Galbos decided on the Regal LX2.

“The boat fit all my needs and is the perfect size for my slip – it blew every competitor [at the show] away The layout is spectacular with the way the seats move and adjust, the storage options and the overall function are perfect!”

“I was happy to purchase my new boat with Strong’s because I knew the team would pick it up in the winter, store it, take care of it and drop it off in the spring.”

Larry especially enjoys spending time on the water with his kids and grandkids “Its a great family boat We like staying on the [Peconic] Bay – kneeboarding, water skiing and fishing – it really adds to the ‘beach life’ for sure!”

“If you want headache-free service and professionalism, Strong’s is the place to go. I don’t get to use my boat that often but when I do, I don’t have to worry about breaking down or having an issue with my boat I trust Strong’s Marine – they take care of their customers with professionalism and solve any problems ”

“If you want headache-free service, Strong’s is the place to go."

FROM NOVICE TO CONFIDENT SKIPPER

A novice boater’s journey with Strong’s Boat Club

Gina Liotti was eager to spend more time on the water, but she wasn’t ready to jump into boat ownership Everything changed when she discovered Strong's Boat Club "Boat Club offers ownership experience at a more affordable price for a season," Gina explained.

As a novice member of the boat club three years ago, Gina received on-water instruction every year from a certified captain "The more you go boating, the more confident you feel," Gina expressed

Now, Gina considers herself an intermediate skipper, comfortable navigating and docking with a single engine Her next goal is to master a twin engine boat, with owning her own boat as the ultimate objective

Gina has made the most of Strong's Boat Club by participating in educational events like Women on the Water and Unlock the Shinnecock, hosted during the spring season.

"The more time you spend with a captain or seasoned boater, the better boater you become!" she emphasized

Gina's favorite aspect of being a Boat Club member is the abundance of amenities With marinas located on the North and South Forks, reserving and accessing boats becomes effortless, while the Strong's Marine team ensures the vessels are well-maintained

OUR TEAM GIVES BACK

Strong’s Water Club recently sponsored Northwell Health’s East End Walk to help expand Peconic Bay Medical Center’s Breast Health program and develop a comprehensive Mother & Baby Unit on the East End of Long Island

Supporting this cause was especially meaningful to Strong’s Our own team member, Terry Gorga, and her husband, John, were diagnosed with the same kind of breast cancer within months of each other in early 2021 They received amazing care from Northwell Health and PBMC; they are currently cancer-free

The Gorga team, “In it Together,” was a top fundraising team at the event “The walk gave me such a sense of community,” said Terry, as her team consisting of nearly 40 Strong’s teammates, family members and friends walked together with their doctors and care team The Gorgas were invited to speak at the event; as Terry addressed the crowd, she was overcome with a flood of emotion, feeling the love and support of her teammates

"Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! My heart is full.”

- Terry Gorga, Strong’s Water Club Office Manager

BEST PLACE TO WORK

Strong’s Southampton locations were recently named a Great Dealership to Work for by the Marine Retailers Association of America (MRAA). This tight-knit group of 15 employees works together to delight customers at Strong’s Southampton showroom and two marinas on the Peconic and Shinnecock Bays.

Team members are anonymously surveyed to gain insights into working at their dealership. One Strong’s team member expressed that their manager is “very involved in team building” and “goes the extra mile to ensure clients get the best possible service.” Many employees identified their team as the best thing about their dealership, and said their co-workers and clients are truly like family.

Longtime General Manager Jessica McCarthy, who leads this excellent team, notes that “our team collaborates every day with one goal: the best possible experience for our boaters”
