Fox Chapel Marine Sales & Services — Local services in O'Hara Township

FCYC is the №1 marina in Pittsburgh. Their docks are very sturdy and large, dockside power and water is always good. They're also equipped with plenty of cleats. There are multiple amenities to make your time there as comfortable and fun as possible. They have a large swimming pool that requires a membership, accompanied by a tiki bar for ordering your favorite drink and a bite to eat. Their food is good to ok, I never had a horrible experience. Its just service can be a little slow or non existent from time to time, but overlooking the marina full of boats along the river makes it easy to overlook slow waiters. The indoor bar is huge with TVs all around. They also have a small stage and dance floor that they host bands quite often on. You can also book a large event using the ballroom, which has a large deck that overlooks the river/marina. There is also a boat launch ramp, which I am 95% sure there is a small fee to pay. They are also very capable of launching your boat for you as well. They do service boats here. I personally will not use them for mechanical work on my boats unless I have no other option. I've had multiple bad experiences on the service side years back that where so bad that Ive either learned how to do my own work. And everytime I would bring it to their attention as nice as I possibly could theyve always made me feel it was my fault. Back to the good... they have the biggest marine store in town, especially now that West Marine closed their doors. They do have almost every high demand maintenance part available on the shelf, and if it's not, they can order and have it within a couple days usually. Alongside the boaters store is the new boat showroom, which usually has a number of smaller ski boats and pontoons to look at. They will always have a selection of used boats in the lot as well. You can also fuel up your boat at the fuel dock with regular and I believe premium fuel. Sorry, I'm not sure about diesel. If you're cruising by on your boat, you can easily pull up to their guest dock and stop in for any of the above amenities they offer. You can also call or email Pat in the service/boaters store office with any questions you may have. I know I didn't covered everything they have to offer but I got most of it. They have a sister marina they opened on the Monongahela R called South Side Marina that has in my opinion even...

FOX CHAPEL MARINA = FALSE ADVERTISEMENT !!! I sought out to purchase a 2008 Sea Ray listed price was $75,000. I paid $500.00 for a survey. The surveyor’s pictures showed that the boat was trashed with 27 issues in the engine compartment area alone. I asked FCM if they were willing to go down on the price and they said no because all the money they put into repairing the boat. So I asked for my deposit back. Three days later I see the same boat pending a sale but listed at $48,000. I call the sales rep immediately and asked why wasn’t I contacted first seeing I just spent $500.00 on the survey if there was to be a drop in the listed sales price ? She says sorry she wasn’t at work the day they dropped the price. I talked to her boss a couple time because she wasn’t at work, he could’ve informed me of the drop in sales price seeing he was the one who lied and said he couldn’t drop the price because of all the money he put into the boat for repairs ! I found that to be very shady, ripoff artist at best ! Very unprofessional ! What a waste of money and time...

Very happy with the used boat we purchased, and very friendly customer service. I am a bit saddened that between us agreeing to purchase the boat and taking ownership of the boat a week later, the anchor disappeared and one of the hatch arms was bent to where we couldn't use the lock. The hatch also wouldn't stay open anymore. The marina did not take ownership of this, which is why I dropped the rating from 5 to 4. Some could argue dropping to a 3 since the damage occurred on their watch, but it's my fault for not being more aggressive towards getting the damage fixed. Overall, I would consider buying through them again, but I'll be more attentive to those details. After almost a week we are still waiting for the boat service records as well. They may have forgotten, so I'll be reaching back out again. Similar to buying a used car, it's the buyers responsibility to be attentive to details and request immediately when something is spotted. Thanks again for the sale...
