Customer Experience
Verified 5-star Google reviews from boat owners who count on John and Daniel.
"I had some boat issues while traveling and found myself in a real pickle. I called around trying to find someone who could look at my boat, but everyone was booked out for weeks. Then I called and spoke with John. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to help me. He took the time to listen, worked me into his schedule, and did everything he could to get me back on the water. Honestly, I never felt like I was dealing with a business I felt like a friend was helping me out when I needed it most. That kind of service is hard to find these days. John provided fair pricing, honest work, and most importantly, he stood behind his word. This was some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced, not just with boat mechanics, but with any business. I highly recommend John and his team. If I ever need help again, they’ll be my first call."

"If you need a honest and customer first boat mechanic, this is the place. Daniel is the real deal! We had an issue with our boat and he walked us through what to try over the phone without ever meeting him or anything then he came to our house and diagnosed and fixed it within an hour. Will be using him from now on."
