He is quick to…read morelet us know of any issues he finds when diving and is flexible so the boat is clean before every race. Keeping the bottom clean in Black Rock Harbor is a challenge given it is known as one of the harbor for fast bottom growth on Long Island Sound. Would recommend Kevin's service to anyone in the area.

Bad cleaning still had growth on scuppers and under keels of our boats.

The engine came off one of their rental boats - but was told that it was 'the owners boat' (I found out the rental boat bit buy looking at their web site and seeing the boat and the engine in their photos). When I started to ask questions, the sales guy was 100% rude and evasive. He promised to send the service records but when my wife called the main office to see about servicing the engine for shipping, the sales guy called back and went off on her. She was supper upset and crying after the call. I was just trying to buy a motor. No need to make my wife cry. Probably lucky that we did not buy the motor. They were clearly trying to hide something. I would stay away from Rex Marine. There is something bad going on there. No one does customer service this way.

Jonas, I just saw…read moreyour reply to my review. It only proves that you will not accept any responsibility for your mistakes/actions. As you stated, I was a customer for 10 years. In that time, I purchased a used motor (lasted less than 1 year), then a rebuilt (lasted less than 1 year) then a new motor (still in use). I also had you do thousands of dollars of other repairs and maintenance. I did hit a rock and brought the boat to you. The damage was cosmetic. I used the boat for 4 months after hitting it with no problems. As discussed, I brought it to you off-season so you could fix the cosmetic damage (weld on a new skeg). The first time I used it after your "repair", the lower unit failed (quite a coincidence) - most likely as the result of having no gear lube in it. Only you would blame an incident that happened a year earlier rather than the work that was done (by you) on the failed component (lower unit) only days earlier. Regarding your reputation...don't kid yourself. The word is out. Tony

I keep my boat at a neighboring marina and reached out for help with my boat's engine. Over the course of a couple months one of their technicians tried several times to solve my problem, and worse told me several times that he had fixed it when the engine clearly was not running right. After seeking another opinion, another mechanic was able to diagnose my problem within an hour and then replace the broken part within an hour as well, and now my boat runs like new. If I hadn't used Safe Harbor for this issue I likely would have saved signficant time and money.

They serviced our boat for 3+ years and the work was performed skillfully, on time and with great communication.

Great service, great guys, great boat, great value. Never a lick of trouble for 20 years. Even though I am now three hours away I still bring my boat to Catalano's every year for service. I just know it will be done right. After 20 years of total enjoyment on my 21' Grady I just upgraded to a 23 and didn't think for a second about going anywhere else. My hope is that I live another 20 years so I can buy a new Grady from the next generation of Catalanos.
