Bob quickly acquired a small shop space in historic Gloucester Courthouse and his son Bobby began working for him on his days off from his full time job until he started full time with the company in early 2013. In early 2013 Swords Marine saw the need to expand again and moved to its current location in the Cobbs Creek area of Mathews, VA. The new location includes a 1,200 sq/ft show and parts room and a 2,400 sq.ft 3 bay shop. At the same time Dale was brought on as a third mechanic and Janet began running the front office.

I am a transient boater and my depth finder had stopped working enroute to Gloucester, VA. I…read moredetermined that I would get the depth finder fixed and take the time while at the marina to have a new AIS system installed. I found Tony's/Teal Marine's number at the local West Marine... and wow, professional from the very start! We initially ordered a new transducer, but found that the chartplotters only needed a software update. I called Tony back and he was able to cancel the transducer order at no cost. I still wanted to install the AIS system, and being a transient boater Tony was able to find a gap in his schedule THAT very day due to a foul weather survey cancelation. When he arrived he was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He got the job done quick and everything works perfectly. I give my highest recommendation to Teal Marine. If you need quality service done fast and done right, give them a call!!!

Unless you have months to wait for your boat and have no regard for your money go someplace else…read more There are many boaters who do drop off their boats for six months and are happy to spend excessively on boat maintenance but if this is not what you want do not go to this business. There is not much competition in the area and I have gone here twice. Both times were for 2 week or less jobs that ended up being over 2 months. Rain, holidays, sick employees are all excuses for delayed work. This is an hourly business and a task that should take one or two hours will appear on the invoice as a ten or twelve, or more, hour tasks. Tasks where a power tool could be used will be done with a hand tool. Think hack saw instead of reciprocating saw and picture two employees operating the hacksaw at one time. It really happened! Your boat will be dirty, inside and out, when you finally get it back. Vendors who come in to do wax and bottom jobs are good and work very quickly and use time saving electric and pneumatic tools. Check everything before leaving. Look for tools and parts in the bilge. Check that everything works correctly like bow thruster pushes in the right direction and not rigged backwards. The invoice has been a jaw dropper both times. About a 30% charge above whatever a generous estimate would be for the work. The hour totals are unbelievable, if true then there is a very serious time management issue or there are integrity issues. I checked progress on the boat every other day based on my first experience and did not see the effort match the hours on the invoice. Little to no communication re the pace or work unless you initiate it. The yard is organized and customers are allowed to work on their boats while here, which is nice, but your boat will be there for a long time. Address every issue, delay, or questionable time management and status of your invoice frequently during the process because once the invoice is written the owner is not open to a discussion and will resort to the old chestnut "if I give you a discount, then do I have to give everyone a discount" as a response to a question about charging 24 hours of work to remove one part. Avoid this business if you plan to boat in the same year you want to get work done.

After a $800.00 repair bill for new carburetors, was told all was good. When I took the boat out a couple of weeks later, NO CHANGE IN MOTOR PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!! So took it to another repair shop and was told that the reason was motor not pumping cooling water. After calling Poni back regarding this issue, I was informed that they would look into the issue, for another cost. They also stated that since I did not request they sea test the motor they did not perform such a test. With a comment like that, I declined to have them service the motor and had another marine look at it. They found that the lower unit water impeller was damaged causing the cooling issue. Plus found that the carburetors had green mold inside them. After I informed the owner of PONI, I was refunded $200.00. But that does not cover the expensive of having to have a real mechanic look at my motor. And this establishment claims that they are a Yamaha service center. With the type of service I received how can this place have five stars?
