We had a great experience with Heritage Boatyard in Ft Pierce FL…read more Sally, the owner, Ann, and Erin, were all super helpful in the office before and while we were in the yard. Communication was excellent. Sally's son Jason is a real pro at running the lift and everyone treated our boat with care. Paco sanded the boat and did the best job we've ever had. If we knew how meticulously he worked, we would have had him paint the bottom as well instead of doing it ourselves. We were in/out in a week and they happily moved stands, put us up in the lift, and never rushed us. Also, cost of paint and supplies we purchased from the yard was less than we could have purchased anywhere else. A very good experience and we will be back!

I asked around and Darrell with Stingray Marine Electronics came highly recommended. He came to our boat, listened to our wants and made several informative suggestions on how to improve on our "wish list". He then supplied us with a detailed quote. We picked a date for him to start and he showed up as promised. During the upgrade, he discovered ways to improve on several of our 20 year old systems and gave us cost options on how to proceed. His team did an outstanding job, left the boat clean and Darrell was willing to spend extra time training us on our new systems. I highly suggest you give Stingray Marine a call for any electronic needs that you have. I'm sure you'll be as pleased as I am.

We booked a time 6 months in advance at Shearwater Ft.Pierce to have them put our new hardtop on…read moreour 43 ft sailboat..We called them a week before we got there to our Marina at Safe harbor to verify it was still a go. We arrived at our marina and went to the office 3 days before we were scheduled for them to put on our new hardtop and made sure there was anything else we needed to do. The day we got our boat into our reserved slip for Shearwater to work on the 3 employees were arguing with one another, didn't have the right tools and then Tom suddenly tells us he has to leave at 2pm which was 2 hours later and we had just started.They lift operator then suddenly tells us that he was only available until 1pm because he had another job to do. Instead of us being able to pull our boat in the reserved slip we booked for an allotted time and walking away and them calling us when it was done...They had us helping and reading directions to the guy with the tools..Then they tied off our sailboat to the chain link fence instead of the cleats.. At one point Tom said asked if we would be able to help them carry our hardtop down the dock and place it on our sailboat that way since they weren't going to be able to finish in the reserved time they told us it would be..we looked at Tom like he'd lost his mind. It was a complete nightmare..we are not customers with unrealistic expectations at all, but when we paid a lot of money for the job to be done right and made sure well in advance that everything was alright with the date, the time, and what we would need to do this turned out to be an awful experience.We had been told before that Shearwater was not a good place to get work done on your boat and most people we talked to didn't have a good experience. We always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. After Shearwater went one hour over our allotted slip time we thought it was completed.We realized after they were specifically shown and marked where the supports are placed and where to drill ...they ended up drilling into the wrong spot. This was April.It took Shearwater until June to fix where they drilled and placed one of the supports in the wrong spot...They were back and forth down our pier while they were attempting to fix the support for the hardtop.. After talking with the manager and calling numerous times as well as going to the office and letting them know that we were extremely disappointed in what should have taken 3 hours to complete ended up taking them almost 3 months to complete. We weren't going to pay for repairing what they did wrong after it was specifically marked. They did not charge us for their mistake. We will never use them again. Tom is not good for that business. He never answers your phone calls,texts, and makes appointments and promises he never keeps. We wanted to give him one more chance by paying him to do a small fiberglass repair on our sailboat. Well every time we would go talk to him he would promise to come do the job. This went on for about 3 months until we finally gave up. We know everyone has different experiences with Shearwater but we wanted to make people aware of the horrible experience we had with them. We are people who always make sure we're prepared for any projects we need done and we do not put unrealistic expectations on people and businesses either. We just expect to have a business communicate regularly with us when we pay for services. We expect a business to make repairs on anything they messed up.We expect honesty. We've always said the best advertisement for a business is word of mouth.If you use Shearwater good luck.

My latest boat issue took weeks to figure out, but they never gave up and they did not charge me for a lot of the diagnostic stuff that they could have. All they cared about was making sure that i was satisfied and that the boat ran. I took the boat back again because i was having trouble and they took the time to explain everything i was doing wrong, so it turned out to be operator error. No charge for the time they went through things to make sure all was correct. I will never take my boats anywhere but Carp. Jack and Bryan are the best.

In September 2024 I had Carp repair shifting problems I had on my Sea Ray. The manager at that time…read moreRon ( great guy) told me i needed both shifter and throttle cables. I approved the work and offered to pay extra to put the boat in the water to make sure all adjustments were correct. My boat was ready in March 2025, Ron retired, new manager named Jack. I added additional work to include installation of electric trim tabs. I tested the boat and found NO NEUTRAL, and upon shifting into REVERSE it would engage at high throttle. I returned the boat and explained to the new manager Jack. I also informed him the trim tab pistons were not tightened at all. Jack took the boat in. One week later I get a call from Jack that there is another cable inside the drive that was not changed. That this would fix the problem ( doubtful). I informed Jack that I would take the boat elsewhere to do the work correctly and completely the first time. When I went to pick up my boat I asked to speak with John the owner. He would not come out of his office to meet me. You may draw your own conclusions. I will never go back to this pla and I plan to educate consumers in the hopes nobody else suffers from this type of service.
