I had an excellent experience with Mason and the crew at Southern Boatworks. As the previous long…read morereview states, Mason is a hands-on owner and is generally found out in the yard actively directing and supervising the work, rather than sitting in the office. He is knowledgeable, courteous and knows what he is doing. He is busy, but attentive to his customers and is quick to return a call. It is clear that he has been working in and around boats most of his life. His attention to detail and level of concern about the quality of work performed is refreshing. My boat needed fiberglass work after she was struck while tied to the dock. Mason prepared an estimate for the damages, communicated with the opposing insurance company to ensure they had the information they needed, arranged a spot for my boat (she is too wide to haul out at his slip), and he ensured the work was performed on-time and on-budget. In addition, I needed a water maker installed, and he made sure that was done on time and on budget as well. To make sure it was completed as promised, he came in on a Saturday and spent most of the day finishing the job himself after one of his crew had called in sick. I have nothing but good things to say about Mason. In addition to Mason, I want to make sure I mention Big Nick and Guillermo. Nick stayed after work to help get work done on the boat, showing his commitment to getting the job done and done well. Guillermo did the fiberglass work, and he is excellent at it. Like Mason, I have nothing but good things to say about Guillermo as well. I know Mason is committed to working with the boating community, and he is currently widening his haul out so he will be able to lift catamarans, which will make his yard the only place in Galveston Bay other than Port Bolivar that can haul out a cat like mine, which is just over 25 feet wide. He is building up his business, and he does good work. Don't hesitate to use his services. Mike Golden

I purchased the sunset sail via Living Social for me and my GF. I was expecting to win huge brownie…read morepoints for a romantic sail at sunset, what I got was a bit different, let me explain... We arrived to small shop, that was fine but the first comments from the staff were not "hi welcome to All Points Sailing, you guys ready to have fun?" but " you see those papers? Grab two and fill them out" - wow, so much for service. None the less we trooped on hoping for a nice cruise. We were directed toward a boat and told to walk over, he elected to drive over in his truck. No kidding. We got on board and were instantly bossed around and given duties, the boat was older and smelled of mildew and old water down below. We were told that tips were customary but not mandatory as we cruised out?! ok. I would let my customer service skills award me tips, not reminding everyone. Let me sum this up, if you want to sail around on the water and enjoy the gulf and be put to work but a semi crass man, then sign up. If you want a refreshing, relaxing cruise with great customer service that makes the 40 min trip from Houston worth every min, then go some where else. BTW - they also offer food, I'm scared to know what that would be like. Good luck to others who used living social on this!

Bought a groupon for a 3 hour guided kayak tour through Armand Bayou. First disclaimer: the bayou…read moreis surprisingly gorgeous, wild and will immediately transport you to the Amazon. But I'm not reviewing the bayou, I'm reviewing the business as you can always come to the bayou with a different outfitter or on your own (though it would be hard to find the cool, narrow routes we took via the tour on your own). First off, the business is not well marked - it wasn't clear which building they were in and where their parking was; this could be easily improved with better signage. Second, the checking in process which includes signing waivers, getting your life vest and oars, and paying an additional fee was much more chaotic than it needed to be. They seemed to only have one clipboard despite 12 people in the group each needing to sign a waiver. They also tagged on an additional fee which you had to pay in CASH - neither the fee nor the cash only part were mentioned in the groupon fine print. Who is going to carry around a wad of cash when they are getting in a kayak and leaving their car in a parking lot for 3 hours? They could have easily communicated this beforehand and saved us the hassle of driving out to find an atm which then charges a fee since the nearest one is unlikely your own bank's branch. The guide gave us an odd intro in the parking lot after the very long check in process. He seemed to be trying to scare people: "So, who here has a problem with alligators?" How are you supposed to answer that? I felt bad for individuals from other countries who were clearly confused and maybe didn't know that alligators are pretty normal here and don't bother you. He then spent 10 minutes figuring out the order of our car procession as you each take your own vehicle on a 10 minute drive to the Armand Bayou parking area (they could have easily avoided this by giving us address/directions beforehand) and we were each to memorize the make and color of the vehicle in front of and behind us and remember a series of verbalized "first left" and "third right" etc. Again, unnecessarily chaotic. Once you're finally all in the water, it feels great. You start out in the open and then get into narrow channels with dense brush and the guide does a great job of pointing out wildlife - mostly birds and several alligators. I truly felt like I was in South American jungle instead of Houston for those few hours. The guide gives a few much needed breaks (I'm in decent shape running/biking/weight training at least 5 days a week and still found the breaks helpful as kayaking works particular muscle groups in your arms/back and can make your lower back and bum pretty sore). It's an out and back route and the nice thing is that once you get back to the Armand Bayou parking lot, you can head home from there. I would definitely come back to Armand Bayou, but I would try a different company or probably just rent a kayak next time and explore on my own.

Now people know better what kind of person you are. Mark McNamara, the owner of KO Sailing stole my money. I was about to buy a used light blue 2007 laser sailboat at KO Sailing and I put a deposit of $1,300 on 10/15/2018 but since, the boat had damaged on hull, bow eye and lacing eye on boom so I told sales person Pete to repair them so I can pay the rest amount but no responses. They sold the boat without telling any notice, so I decided to get my money back. The owner Mark McNamara This guy told me that check for $1,300 will be mailed to my house in the end of October 2019. I have been checking my mailbox everyday. No surprise. Nothing was sent from him. The owner Mark keeps telling me a lie, keeps ignoring my phone call. I even talked to all his employees (Pete, Sam, and Steph) know that what Mark is doing is not right thing to do. I have added a picture of text message from the owner Mark. He said, "Why I would I send you a check for $1300? you paid $1,200" and "This whole transaction smells of fraudulent activity" so I posted my Bank of America transaction that KO sailing received $1300. and I told him can you proof you only have received $1,200? He does not response anymore. He does not pick up the phone. Attached Picture: Text message from Mark McNamara on 11/6/2019
