To put it succinctly, this small company is a class above: hard working, no-nonsense,completely professional and as knowledgeable and experienced as anyone in the business. On top of this, their attention to detail and determination to ensure that the engine was in perfect working order when they finished was clear throughout the process. Add to this a very reasonable bill and one could not ask for more --especially here in the Florida market. I highly recommend them.

After telling me 3 different times that he would show up at a particular time and day, he never did. I even placed painters tape at areas on the vessel that needed the repair so I didn't have to be present to show him. He still never showed up. Always waiting till the time he was to be here before sending an email that he wasn't going to make it. Don't know why if he is so busy, that he told me he would work on it and place me on the schedule. Today is 11/30/22 and he wasted almost a month and a half of time that I could have found someone that would actually do the work and has good business principles. He pretty much did the same thing to me that he did to another reviewer (Mark N.) from St. Pete. He has a pattern of bad business practices.

They are responsive and customer focused. The boat had some issues, as all boats do, and they bent over backwards for us in dealing with them. In today's world where customer service is lacking across all industries, these guys are top notch. I highly recommend dealing with them if you are in a market for a boat.

We had a completely different experience at Erickson Marine.

WARNING: Poor craftsmanship; appalling customer service…read more New ownership (Julian acquired this business roughly a year ago) is not reflective of the legacy reviews in my opinion. Julian ranks as one of the more defensive and combative operators I've seen. Our goal was to remove a fiberglass T-top from our Sea Hunt to swap it with a foldaway version to circumnavigate short bridges in St. Pete. After discovering Manatee Marine on the Fishmaster site, I called and spoke frankly to the shop owner, Julian, expressing why we'd remove an expensive top and replace it with a canvas folding version. He assured me his shop was reputable and expedient given our desire to complete the project before Memorial Day. He did deliver on his timing, and I tipped him $200 for doing so as he finished the work in a few days. Unfortunately, now realize why it was so fast. When I arrived to pick up the boat, I inquired how it top folds, to which the shop admitted they did not test it! That's the beginning of the downward spiral. I am no boat expert, but if someone spends $3,500, wouldn't you test the functionality? The shop attendant and I continued to fold the top, and to my surprise the front of the tower hit the bow, leaving the height clearance unimproved. I immediately called Julian to address the issue who was offsite that day and his reaction was "What are YOU going to do"? Appalled at his answer, I said "that's why I'm calling you", and he advocated this was now my problem since I picked out the top. I left without the boat, and he said he'd call me back on Monday. I picked up the boat regardless the following week since we wanted to spend time with the family for the long Holiday weekend cruising around, and Julian was less than accommodating, offering no solutions, apology, or a modicum of remorse. After arriving home, I noticed the following damage: *Jagged cuts on the powder coating, leaving sharp edges, and damage from accidental grinding wheel contact *Unfilled holes left in the helm *Wires cut in the helm -- left bare *No sound out of the speakers *Both port side base legs not properly attached, and loose. The top is unsecure and sways. *Mister hoses sliced and left uncapped (depress the button on the console and water fills the helm) *Spreader light attachment bolts left uncut (kids running around a boat -- unsafe) *Tear in the new canvas top *Snapped the navigation light on the former fiberglass top And to add insult and inconvenience to injury, my boat (detailed a week before arriving at Julian's shop) was covered in grease, debris, and dirt. For contrast, Pro Marine washed our boat after a simple oil change. I texted the shop multiple photos May 27th and never received a response, and then disputed the charges on my credit card three weeks later (I have done this less than 5 times out of thousands of transactions in my lifetime) and received a threatening call from Julian a few days later calling me a scammer and that I don't want to pay my bills. No Julian, you deceived me, blamed the customer for your substandard production, and now left us stuck holding the bag and paying other qualified service providers to clean up your mess, leaving us in a shoddier and more expensive situation prior to your work. We must pay to fix the damage YOUR SHOP caused and start all over with a new fabricator. The company who fixed the stereo wiring stated the inferior workmanship ranked as one of the worst they have witnessed. DO NOT BRING YOUR BOAT HERE.
