"Picked up my new 12ft. Ultimate Tegris yesterday and it's a beauty! Thanks for taking extra care in packing the kayak. You sure know how to wrap one for long distance shipping."

-BEAU

Great Paddling Shop!

"I stopped in yesterday, 1/12/10, and purchased a Liquidlogic riverboat. Just wanted to say that I was very happy with the service and condition of your facility. Now all we need is an early spring!"

Thanks again for your help and attention, Jerry

"My boyfriend and I love our new new Liquid Logic XP9/XP10! Also just got my Werner carbon Sherpa. We can't wait to try them this summer on the Nantahala river! Everyone at BHP is so helpful and nice, especially Jim. Exceptional customer service always, Jim makes BHP the only place I'll go for my kayaking needs.I look forward to seeing you all again in the spring!"

-Anne

"Great trip Sunday! Thanks for doing what you do, so well!"

-E

"Just wanted to say thanks again for all the great help you gave my husband and I the other day! I can't wait to get my boats home and my new rack for Christmas!"

-Jamey

"Hi, we wanted to thank BHP so much again for all of your help on the program. If there is ever anything you need while at the Jersey Shore, please don't hesitate to ask!! See you in the spring for some river fun."

"Many thanks to Rich, Jim and everyone else at BHP for the kayak clinic last night.
This was Linda and my first time kayaking. Rich did an excellent job teaching us the fundamentals, safety issues and etiquette. Frankly we had no idea what to expect but it turned out to be a great learning experience and also a lot of fun.
Everyone at BHP has been always great to deal with, whether renting canoes or introducing us to kayaking. "

-Steve

"Please pass on to Jim that the Chestnut Hill Academy canoe trip on the Wading River, with day of canoe training before worked like a charm. Kids knew how to work with their partners, they were ready to be challenged by the current, and even though the trip took 6 hours total, they were not unhappy. The high water level helped, of course, but the instruction and river assistance Tuesday of the Philadelphia Canoe folks, Louie, Bob and Roy, was brilliant. Breaking into 3 small groups, with lead and trail for each was the key to making it a successful experience. Thanks for your guidance, and it sure looks like this is the way we should structure the trip next year. Best to all--your guys were great, as always."

-Larry; Chestnut Hill Academy

"Thank you very much for your generous donation. We appreciate your support always... You're Terrific!"

-The Oakcrest Football Family

"What an awesome experience. It started with Jim calling me back on
the phone and spending close to 45 minutes answering all my questions and
giving me some very sound advice. And this took place after hours on a
Thursday night. That Saturday I wasn't able to come into the store until
4:00 and Jim was taking care of a couple people already. But still he was
more than willing to stay after hours and provide me with the most
professional hands on time I have ever received. I ended up buying a
Wilderness Systems Tsunami 125, Werner Tybee paddle, and v8 pfd. Jim is
more than an excellent salesman, he is also an excellent human being and he
made the first stage of my kayaking journey just awesome."

-Shep <><

"Been having a great trip every year at Bel Haven. I find the kayak
trip through the pine barrens peaceful and relaxing. It has become an
annual tradition. The whole family loves it. Can't wait for this years trip."

-The Jones Family

"This is the only place I was able to find in the region that not
only had a large selection of kayaks but had their own lake on the premises
for you to try out as many kayaks as you wanted. They were exceedingly
patient and you literally could spend hours trying out different models.
The prices were also fair. I have subsequently recommended Bel Haven to
anyone interested in purchasing a kayak."

-Robin

"We've always been very happy with the service at Bel Haven. My
husband and I purchased a Wenonah Escape canoe and a Wavesport X kayak there several years ago to add to our personal fleet of a dozen or so canoes and
kayaks. Having had a 'little' experience buying both new and used boats and
gear from a number of local and not so local outfitters, when possible, we
will always turn to Bel Haven first."

-Rose

"Thank you for the great shopping experience. I had been to several Canoe and Kayak shops all over the state. Yours was the only real positive experience. Several friends have been waiting for my recommendation, and you certainly got it! You made the drive well worth it!

I can't wait to get my boat into the water."

-Tom

"We recently discovered Bel Haven and have made numerous visits to your store the past two months. We were interested in buying a kayak, but even after doing some research on our own, we were still confused. During the course of our visits we have been assisted by numerous employees including Stephen Walters and James Markel. Steve and Jim were very generous with their time, patience, and extensive knowledge. Never did we feel pressured to buy, or that we were being given a sales pitch. This past weekend we again visited Bel Haven for a group excursion with the Outdoor Club of South Jersey. Although there were scores of customers around, we were waited on quickly by friendly staff, were given specific equipment we requested, and were checked on by Jim to ensure all was well.

It's so rare to encounter such a wonderful customer service and we simply wanted to tell you how much we appreciate it. Thanks for the great service and we'll be sure to keep coming back and recommend Bel Haven with the highest regard."

-Sherry & Joe

"Hi, I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you of the enjoyable experience I had at your shop today. Ryan answered all of my questions & there wasn't enough that he could do. It's great that old fashioned service can still be had! I'll be in this weekend to buy a Liquid Logic Stingray 12! Thanks again."

-Tim

Email to Eddyline:

"In my observation and experience, your kayaks are exceptional products and the attention to detail impressed me so much that I would recommend them to anyone. I must also comment that your dealer, Bel Haven Paddlesports here in New Jersey treated me like a king and took great care in answering all of my questions. You should be proud of them for representing Eddyline in such a professional manner."

-Gary

Dear Barbara & David, Thank you for providing me with an enjoyable birthday. I know that I had a great time on the river!

- Keith

Barbara, Clarence stopped by to show us the kayaks & canoes and all those wonderful life jackets you loaned to S.P.L.A.S.H. Wow! I wanted to thank you for taking the time to help us in such a meaningful way!

All the best,
Kathy

Hi Dave, The kayak arrived here in St. Paul in great shape. It was well packed for the truck line shipment, being wrapped with several layers of bubble wrap and non woven fabric along with extra padding at the bow and stern. Please let your packagers know they did a wonderful job. I have had the kayak out on local lakes twice now in the past week and am very pleased with my purchase. Based on this excellent transaction, I have no hesitation in recommending others consider Internet purchase and long distance shipping of kayaks and other gear from Bel Haven Paddlesports. Thank you again.
