Absolutely phenomenal customer service and knowledge. Joey and his team go above and beyond. I just…read morestarted taking care of my father's boats after he passed and all I remembered was he used LeBoeufs' Marine. I knew nothing about caring for boats and Joey has been incredible explaining everything and never sounded rushed or like he didn't have time for all of my questions. He has even given us contacts for other services we needed and they have worked out great. Thanks to Joey's team both of our very old boats are up and running and if there are any problems they are available to assist. They even came out on a Saturday when our boat had a problem to get us going. We are probably going to be purchasing another boat soon and will be heading to LeBoeufs' Marine. If you want expertise combined with above and beyond customer service you found it.

He not only offered me a ride, he helped me find everything I needed to complete the repair including making phone calls and driving me to 3 more places. He did not want to be compensated. And we spoke about general repair experience. This says a lot to me about the kind of person he is and how he conducts himself and his business. I would go to him for anything. He was honest and helpful and super nice and I trust he is not out just to make money, but truly wants to help people.

This is not a small task as very few technicians know how to deal with vintage (aka - crap) motors. To make a long story short, Chris got the old girl to a turn key status. Much love and if anyone needs decades of experience, from 1971 to current, then this is the place. BTW - cost was very fair, no really fair -no BS. Great experience. Thanks to Chris and Stan

I came down to the Keys three years ago as a clueless…read morenewbie from Chicago and asked Jim to work on my 32' Intrepid not knowing anyone down there, and ready to be taken to the woodshed. It's been like having a trusted friend one my side. The honesty, the hard work, the timely work...everything has been perfect. He knows boats like no one and can fix anything. For example, he installed new front nav lights, which were silly-expensive Italian parts molded into the hardtop. Not an easy job. My first experiences were terrific. Right off the bat I was having trouble with a Fusion radio. He played with it, and it seemed I needed a new unit. He ordered one for me. When he came back to install it he had an idea on how to fix the old one. It worked. Many people would have just installed the new one... I have since bought another boat, used, and he has completely taken care of me, many times--And it sure seems his fees are reasonable. I had my boat Haulover and then in Coconut Grove and his rates are remarkably better (but those places are expensive, yes). Jim is the best. And as I've become more of the community I've seen how respected he is in the area. Trust in Jim.

My experience was very similar to manuels.. drove many hours to look at a boat that was "for…read moresale".. being I am a mechanic, I was going to be going over all the details myself. I was told on the phone that and sea trials were "encouraged". Arrived to find the guy I had been talking to for a month wasnt there. It was a complete clusterfk. None of the information I was told was available was there. I was dealing with a guy who said he was "just the detailer" who then tried to tell me the price of the boat had gone up.. After that argument, it was time to sea trial.. I was told their insurance company says they have to charge 200 dollars for that. BULLSH1T! Their insurance company takes their premiums like any other, they have no say in charging 200 dollars for a sea trial. They just flat lie. After telling them to KMA on that ditty.. they then decided it was ok to do. I had to use MY truck to haul the boat to the ramp.. nice. And stop for fuel along the way because it was empty. Once launched and on the water.. headed west.. the boat started taking on water.. had 4 inches in the cockpit. I trimmed bow up and blasted toward shore. Turns out the valve was broken off the scupper and there was nothing to keep the water out. Pulled it back to their shabby operation where I was fkd around even further. The "detailer" was now doing up sales paperwork and adding additional line items to the cost.. extra 75 here, 250 there 350 here.. I questioned this and was fed an excruciating line of BS. One was that they were required by law to provide the safety equipment on the boat, so I had to be "charged" for it. I saw what was onboard, it was the same old dirty stuff the boat came to them with .. more lying. I had set up to debit the purchase.. then was informed they have no way to run a card.. what kind of business cannot run a card?? Ill tell you, shoddy, sloppy, fly by night sheister types. They wanted cash or a wire transfer to a bank in another state.. hmm. The idiot also said "his insurance company" would not allow him to take a check either. Pi$$ down my neck and tell me it's raining.. no insurance company gives a tinkers damn how you take payments for "business" transactions.. liars. After which a phone call is made to the "owner" Ken and the price is jacked up another 775 dollars.. I am like "what?!?!?".. and "detailer guy".. who admitted he does the ads as well, who was now finance guy.. says, "oh I made a mistake on the paperwork" I thought you were just the "detailer".. At that point I was done.. told them to shove it all up their ass and pound sand there after. Steer clear of this fly by night scamming, lying, sheister. The whole place and crew are sketchy as hell and will lie straight to your face without ao much as a second thought

During our wait, we were entertained by the different shops and water views at the marina including the massive Dolphin Rodeo Mural. We browsed the Conch Republic Divers shop that offers scuba and angler items and is across from Chris' Bait & Tackle if you're going to grab things for your boating trip. The marina offers boat tours and rentals.
