Best value for repairs and bottom jobs in N. FL. The Huckins team is very good to work with and responsive. Will return for work in the future. read more

Wish they opened on weekends, at least half a day. Huckins are amazing and to see them up close and personal can be breathtaking. Had to do it from afar on a Saturday. Not the best experience, but not the worst either. read more

We had our boat at Huckins for over 2 months and most of the work was not done when we went to pick up the boat even though PJ said everything is done. We were told the hatch was fixed and after 2 hurricans that we were charged for, they leaked so bad the carpets had to be ripped out and we now need to reupholster the entire birth! No communication between the office and crew, we were charged for things that weren't even done, over charged for things that weren't fixed and told that things half fixed were the best they could be. The paint job was awful, they didn't paint the step or stairs that is clearly part of the deck painting. Our engine alarms both went off during our drive up the coast, the mechanic said all they had to do is look at them and see what was wrong, unacceptable!!! We've had to pay over a weeks worth of mechanical and marina stays as the boat wasn't even safe enough to travel! Several workers agreed that the lack of care is evident, same thing from a couple of people docking their boats at Huckins. I sincerely hope the new owner will make positive changes! This was the worst experience we've ever had with a boat, and we've owned several! read more

I can't say enough good things about the staff and crew at Huckins. We had a list of items that we needed taken care of on our Kadey-Krogen 42 and since we live aboard it was important to have an accurate time line for the work. We were scheduled in on a Monday at 0830 and were promptly hauled and the work started. The work we had listed was reviewed with the service manager PJ and representatives from the different crafts. During the review we were given some suggestions and advice during which we added and subtracted some items. Not once did my wife or I feel we were being pushed into additional work. Since we needed fiberglass repair and painting, a bottom job, stuffing box service, electrical and bonding system checks, carpentry work and running gear service you can understand the difficulty with scheduling. During the running gear service when they removed the wheel (prop) they discovered the cutlass bearing was bad and needed to be replaced. PJ contacted me and was able to get it taken care of immediately. The team was welcoming and never seemed too busy to explain what they were doing and why. Huckins was able to complete all of our items on schedule and the work was exemplary. We could not have been more pleased. Pat M. read more

We had an accident that caused major structural damage on our way to Marathon FL. From pictures we sent, the service manager provided a very good estimate acceptable to our insurance carrier. We brought our boat to Huckins, and staff immediately got to work assessing the damage and beginning repairs. We needed core work, guard rail, fiberglass, non skid, metal work, and more. Once our boat was "taken apart," service staff even found and repaired things we didn't know were a problem. I can't say enough about the quality of the work. Our boat looks at least 10 years younger. We've gotten compliments from other boaters. Everyone worked hard to get us on our way. I appreciate the professional treatment given by all. We would recommend Huckins boat yard to anyone. read more

I live in Palm Coast, more than 90 miles away from Huckins Yacht Yard, so when my diver suggested I take my boat there for a bottom job, I was skeptical to say the least. All I can say is PJ and company did an amazing job and that's the only place I will go again. Not only was it done when they said it would be and at the price they said it would be (both rarities in boating) but the quality of the work was beyond my expectations. The trip home demonstrated a gain of over 600 rpm's and a fuel reduction of 30%. Well worth the trip!!! read more

We had Huckins fix a cracked hull on our power boat. The hull work was decent but they trashed our boat boat in the process. They left all the windows open for days and it rained heavily . We had standing water in our boat and the wood floors are permanently damaged along with the wood on our bunk beds. The cushions are water logged and mildewed. They also used our single head multiple times and clogged the line. When we addressed these issues with them they shrugged us off and claimed no responsibility for it. I would not advise not using them. read more

We recently took our 46 foot sport coupe to Huckins Yacht for bottom painting, engine and generator service, fiberglass repair and a wash and wax. We were very impressed with the quality of work and continuous contact during our time at Huckins Yacht and cannot thank PJ, Craig and our team enough for their great service. We discussed the scope of work with PJ and he set up a schedule for completion. We arranged to have the engine, generator and waxing work done by outside contractors. PJ coordinated this with our vendors and notified us as the work progressed. After pulling the boat from the water he notified us that the previous bottom paint, put on at another boat yard, was not sufficient and had not held up well. He discussed options with us so that we could make an informed decision. PJ sent pictures of the work in progress via text. We were welcomed when we dropped by to check on the boat; the yard actually encouraged our visiting. While the boat was there, we asked them to complete a fiberglass repair on the side of the boat. The fiberglass work was so well done that, although we've looked many times, we cannot even find the place where the repair was made. We will certainly return to Huckins Yacht the next time we need to have done. We highly recommend Huckins Yacht Corporation in Ortega, Jacksonville, Florida. read more
