Captain John C arrived on my vessel without being asked and immediately came across as…read moreunprofessional. His appearance was noticeably unkempt, and he did not present himself in a manner consistent with someone offering maritime services. He provided no meaningful input, asked no relevant questions, and made no effort to understand the situation before inserting himself. The interaction felt intrusive and unnecessary, and based on this experience, I would not consider him a reliable or appropriate choice for any vessel‑related work.

I was looking for one particular item that had fallen off my boat from a past storm while moored in my slip. Unfortunately I waited months before calling (I didn't think it would move once it sank to the bottom... boy was I wrong). Although they didn't find what I was looking for they did a very thorough search of the bottom around my boat and then some. Their price was fair, and all aspects of their customer service was better than expected. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if a need arose.

We contacted Nathan and Eva at Marinelube and they "polished" our fuel to remove all of the water and bugs in our tanks. No more worries about a recurrence of the engine damage and the polishing was a fraction of the bill for the engine work. They were extremely flexible in scheduling the work and did everything dockside so we didn't have to move the boat. Nathan also installed fuel level sensors in our two tanks and a gauge so now we know at a glance how much fuel we have. Such a pleasure to work with (especially Eva) and highly recommended!!
