The Tiki bar was quiet when we arrived in the afternoon, and had a lively crowd by the time we left. Everyone on staff was welcoming and worked to keep the place nicely maintained; the 2nd floor rooms with the upstairs loft and 2nd bathroom are comfortable and have a great view of the marina and harbor. Glad we came back for another stay.

We rent in town and our water heater busted through our wall with an extreme leak.

Tom was super nice upon arrival and seemed genuinely happy to have us. He was even worried we had an upstairs unit because we have dogs with us. (Which felt so great after the two days we've had). This is the second time we've stayed here and both times the rooms have exceeded our expectations. Super clean & smells wonderful. The layout of the rooms are great & very spacious. Every time we have family members in town, we recommend they stay here! It's the perfect location for vacationers, multiple restaurants walking distance & the view of all the boats is always a treat. I highly recommend booking here

We left with all new standing rigging, new LED mast lights, new mast wiring, a structural mast repair, and new confidence in our boat. The team at Sailcraft Service/M&J Marine are very efficient, fair, and professional. They got us in and out during the Christmas holiday season without delay. If you need boat work and will be in the Oriental area, they are your "GoTo" guys.

Kept me informed along the way, answered questions and didn't make me feel like a novice/idiot (although I am one). Only request - wish would have been to have looked at an old antenna and windex and recommended some preventative work while the mast was unstepped. Aside from that - all the work was done, was done well as can see so far - will be putting the boat through it's paces in a few weeks.

Upon calling him many times after trying to see if he can give me a rough estimate on the repair costs for insurance, he said that I would need to drop off my boat at their property and pay for an inspection, but I was told that the $100 home visit would cover a rough estimate on engine replacement and labor. I lost my money and now it seems fishy that they keep insisting I drop off my boat at their shop. I bet many have lost their boats to these people, seems to be they place liens and such. I will file a suit with the small claims court as their business practices are criminal.

I paid him $4k for the work but once he left, the boat remained with the same issues. I called and email probably a dozen times with no response. After i hired another mechanic, he found the issue to be something unrelated to what Randy suggested, and also confirmed that the fuel pumps were not replaced. Randy is a scammer. Don't hire him. Randy has zero professionalism or any real care for his customers. He will take your money and not look back.

After breaking down while traveling south in the ICW we were towed into Deaton's yard. At first it…read moreseemed like the old automobile tow truck routine where the tower gets kickbacks and has a "buddy" that will repair your car, or maybe I've lived too long and have become naturally suspicious. But after my experience at Deaton I have to apologize for even thinking that. I have been in boat yards all over the world, from Cherbourg to Newport to Oahu and have never encountered a more competent, knowledgeable and friendly crew of people. I might add they were very fair in their pricing of the repair and it never seemed as if they were holding us hostage because we were broken down (as so many auto shops are wont to do, to continue the automobile analogy one step further). The diagnosis was quick, parts were over- nighted and the repair was complete within a bit more than 24 hours. A loaner was available during the repair and dockage rates while the repair was ongoing were more than reasonable. I would say that if you are in the area (I was told you don't have to break down!) this is the place to go for powerboat or sailboat needs. Nonpareil! Sincerely, Michael Beesch on sailboat Minnow
