January 2026 - Worst Boat shop experience. I brought my boat…read morein to get looked at and before doing any work they charged me $1,150 for a checkup. Ryan is a thief and I don't say this lightly about people. It is sick seeing the money hunger that he has for people with a nice boat. He tried telling me that we need 6,000 worth of work done when all we needed was a $1,200 fix from the main shop in corpus. Ryan I don't know how you go to sleep at night man doing what you just did to a 20 year old. You're a crook and I pray that God shows you his grace. For everyone reading this review I would like to highly highly recommend y'all do not be fooled by the crooked salesman of an owner who pretends to take care of his customers then stabs them in the back on a bill he did no work for. Especially after talking to multiple boat shops in town they all repeatedly agreed that he is the crooked man still in the business who survives by ripping his 2-3 customers a month. Stay Away.

I recently stopped by the Texas Watercraft and Marine at 10621 SPID in Corpus Christi, Texas and…read morewas immediately greeted by a very friendly and energetic young lady by the name of Deanna. The positive attitude and service were great. The time she took to help me with my engine issue was very much appreciated. I do not normally give reviews but their professionalism warrants one. I look forward to my next visit there. Sincerely, Tommy Nelms

These guys used to have a small shop off SPID. Someone with some money came a long and figured…read morethese guys had a good thing going and if he gave them some cash for a better location and more workers and a better shop everyone would make some good money. The problem is that I don't think these guys know how to operate beyond just a few workers. We used to take our jet ski's to these guys when they were on SPID because they did a good job, quickly, and for a fair price. When they moved we took our jet ski's over to the new location because they needed some work. They were going to have to rebuild one of them. I get this information after they had the PWC for about a month. I give them the green light. I follow up and follow up, no progress. I finally get BBB involved and they finally get one of the two PWC fixed up. The one that needed the rebuild never got it done. I don't think they had the money to order the parts or something. I really don't know. After about 6 months we got our PWC back and they had let them sit in the sun for the entire time. Baking the vinyl and the fiberglass. We since gave the PWC away. I don't know that there are a lot of options in Corpus for PWC but if you have another choice I'd go with it. I was very reasonable in terms of communicating and I was very understanding about the ball getting dropped. At the end of the day these guys just failed me. They didn't used to, it wasn't until the business got beyond their control.
