He was very professional and efficient and did compression checks on all cylinders of both engines, checked all fluids, loosened frozen and corroded bolts, and replaced the two dead batteries.

He was beyond efficient!! He was able to do a dock visit which I greatly appreciated. He really listened as I informed him of the saga that was this engine as we assessed what had not yet been worked on. I appreciated how he explained everything as I'm a new boater, step by step so that I can address some of the issues in the future myself and know what to look for. After replacing the water separator he got to work on the carburetor and fuel pump. He took the time to do a sea trial, which made me feel a lot more confident and even tested that all the proper alarms were in place for if the engine overheats etc. She's now running like a champ and getting to enjoy some summer weather out on the water. I highly recommend Marine Craft Services and will definitely go back for inevitable future projects. Because boat.

There's no way I could have done this much work (sand, paint, service 2 drives, troubleshoot, repair & wax a 39' boat) in this short of time (3 days).

But this particular review is for a specific event that happened today. We came into PT after having wrapped a line around our prop. This damaged the shaft. We needed someone to check it out and perhaps repair it before we headed north for a 3-week cruise. First we ran into Matt on the dock and told him our tale. He asked Todd to come see us at our boat, and he showed up about 30 minutes later. Todd diagnosed that we needed Dean to come and bang some things around. Dean showed up about 30 minutes later and worked hard on the prop shaft for about two hours. Done. Fixed. We didn't need to haul out and we didn't need to delay our trip. These guys are awesome. They really know their stuff and they understand how to work not just with the boats, but with the people who own the boats. We recommend PT Shipwrights Co-op to all our boat friends.

I can't believe others have rated this place highly. They must have extremely low expectations …read more First off, the started hours say they are open until 1630 but in fact they close at 1615. Over $65 for a guest slip which was difficult to reserve at the kiosk due to a terrible system combining a parking kiosk, a paper list of available slips, and no obvious way to pay for power which is course cost extra. To add to this less than stellar experience, they have a porta potty that, as they generally are, was absolutely disgusting and not well maintained at all. Took forever to find the slip. Nothing is well labeled, no obvious map at the fuel pump, and the least intuitive numbering schema I've ever witnessed. Two other boaters I kept passing were just as lost having to make unnecessary maneuvers while searching for their assigned slip. Epic fail. I wouldn't dock my boat there again if it were sinking and that was the only way to save it.

I contacted Haven Boatworks 6 months prior to my haulout date. I was in contact with a "systems"…read moremanager. I paid a $3,000 deposit and presented a list of work, that I was assured could be addressed. I have a large sailboat and stressed the need for scaffolding, which I was assured would not be a problem. The scaffolding used, referred to as pyramid scaffolding, took almost 5 days to put in place. I was told by this systems manager, that metal scaffolding, which I have used for every haulout for the last 18 years, doesn't work because it cannot be curved around the boat, which is not true. Expensive to erect, too close to the boat in some places, and too far from the boat in others, was a disastrous nightmare for the entire time I was on the hard. Towards the end of the first week, with no progress toward the major projects started, as I only had 30 days available, I ask for a short meeting with this systems manager. He assured me that all the work could be completed. As my anxiety grew, I was given workers for a few of the minor issues. The days passed, and I began to realize I needed to concentrate on simply getting the boat back in the water in sufficient condition to return home. None of the major projects were addressed; only more excuses as to why they could not be completed before launch. Presently I am looking for local companies to help with the (mess) that I sailed home with. Right at $3,000 for haulout / in, and moorage on port property went to the PT Port, along with a significant invoice from Haven, and a long list of headaches yet to be completed, is the way I left PT. During my stay on the hard I talked to other boat owners that had similar experiences with Haven. I STRONGLY recommend not considering Haven Boatworks for any maintenance repair.
